In a world obsessed with labeling an ever-evolving genre, [Felix da Housecat](https://soundcloud.com/felix-da-housecat) is dedicated to making the people dance. He is one of those rare, charisma-oozing characters, whose musical and mental eccentricity come from a genuine place. He’s never afraid to take a risk to reach new ground. It’s this blend of qualities that has kept him in such high reverence in the electronic field for two decades now, and which has ensured that his music has been a consistently captivating force. An ever-moving target, his various incarnations have seen him morph from resolute acid and techno warrior to avant-garde nu-skool electro-disco pioneer to the man who gave one of the world’s most famous rappers a new lease of house-infused life long before major labels were putting every urban artist on their books over anemic 4/4 beats.
Born and raised in Chicago and now based in L.A. having spent several years in London, Felix’s career came to fruition via UK labels like William Orbit’s Guerilla imprint and later Damian Lazarus’ City Rockers for his award‐winning ‘Kittenz And Thee Glitz’ album, which introduced Miss Kittin to the(e) world. As before, Felix is making this album for the art, not the money. ‘Oh definitely,’ he nods. ‘You can always tell money music from heart music. People identify when its something they have been through. A good song will make it through regardless. ButI don’t do it for the money. The album has to grow…’
Having worked with everyone from P.Diddy to Nile Rodgers, Felix is the consummate studio collaborator. But he has something else to say. Getready. ‘I’m going to say this in the least Kanye way possible–and I love Kanye West, I’m from Chicago! – but I’ve come to a stage in my life where I’ve proved and done everything I have done as Felix from ‘Fantasy Girl’ to through the streets of techno–so I don’t have to prove myself to the new generation. I make what I like and try not to get caught up. Nile Rodgers is the king of this. He makes music he likes and its good music that he knows how to balance for the world .My intentions are not to make a million from this album. It’s all about moods.”
