AVALAND 08.28.10 – Felix da Housecat August 28, 2010

FELIX DA HOUSECAT

Does a cat really have nine lives? Ask Chicago's disco visionary Felix Da Housecat. Six years after he glammed up dancefloors with Kittenz And Thee Glitz – 20 since he first stepped into a studio – one of modern pop's great outsiders is about to embark on the next phase of his remarkable career.As an indication of how far Felix has come, it's worth mentioning that in the '90s he was recognized as one of the second wave of Chicago house producers. As a young man he used many aliases (23 according to discogs.com) such as Aphrohead, Thee Maddkatt Courtship, Electrikboy and Rocketmann, to name four. If you went raving anywhere during that decade you would at some point have seen him DJ or heard his wild-pitch house tracks. Incidentally, Virgo Blaktro..'s almighty kiss-off, 'Future Calls The Dawn', inspired by Madonna’s star producer Stuart Price, updates Felix's 'Thee Dawn' classic, smearing it with some searing Daft Punk-style brutality. What's also notable is that Felix is still only 35 years old. Twenty years ago, this teenage Prince freak was taken under the wing of acid house pioneer DJ Pierre in Chicago. Their studio tinkering resulted in 1987's 'Phantasy Girl', an hefty underground hit, and, with college out of the way, Felix's star-bound course was set. "I used to be like, fuck all the mainstream stuff – I just wanna be underground and do cool stuff!" chuckles Felix. "But now I've got a family. Not only that, I'm evolving. I stopped doing underground when I turned 25 and decided to make songs." Ten years on, under his latest alias, Virgo Blaktro, Felix is in the finest form of his life.
