'From cult underground London DJs to globe-trotting electro/techno/minimal hotshots' DJ Mag (March 2007)

All the best London producers have their roots in the
warehouse and house party scenes. But even in the
early days of the Cheshire Catz, Jon Blond and Dan
Gerrett were doing something that little bit more out there
than their contemporaries. Like the early “Cheshire
Street sessions” after which the Catz were named - a set
of parties that had to be finally abandoned when NYE
2004 saw an insane 1500 people crammed into four flats
across a shared rooftop terrace. Or “At Night”, a set of
six parties that eschewed the typical London warehouse
approach of minimal music and decoration and maximum
attitude - in favour of rocking the guts out of a set of
secret, dressed up locations...
But that approach got the Catz noticed. In 2004 they
were made “Mixmag Future Heroes” and from there it
was onward and upward. The Catz were picked to close
the second room at one of the world’s best-known clubs,
Ministry of Sound, NYE 2005 and the final night of
Nastydirtysexmusic, what had been London’s hottest
party the year before. They delivered a four-decks-n-fx
set so blistering that it lead to a new residency at the
next night by Nastydirty founder Tim Sheridan, the
famously crazed Veryveryverywrongindeed afterparties, as
well as regular slots at Turnmills, Ministry, Egg, the End,
Canvas and the Cross. Then there were the gigs at key UK
nights - Playtime, Together, Riot, Play, Heat, Twisted, The
Gallery, and Koko, Brixton Academy and Neighbourhood
amongst others - not to mention regularly presenting
shows on Ministry Radio and recent tours to France, Canada
and Denmark, and now a new residency at GEEK, the
only London night for beatport.com, the world’s biggest
dance-music download site, and sister party Playtime.
And at the same time, they’ve hammered out a new
career in production. Starting with labels like Whoop! Records
(‘Electronic / Doctor Acid’), Berwick
Street (‘The Drop’, ‘Dunewalker’, ‘Squeal’ and Radio
One Essential new tune ‘Discotech’), and FAKT Recordings - a joint label project fronted by the Catz - (tracks such as ‘Wide
Awake’, 'Locked On', 'Hooked On Hope', ‘Ringshifter’ - licensed to 7 compilations - and ‘Battlecat’), as well as remixes
on Black Van US and Ninja Tunes (Coldcut’s ‘Walk a
mile’), the Catz are now launching a new label
CatzMuzik, with first tracks due early this year. Raves for
their sound - a new, stripped-back wonky electronic
sound that is carving out its own place in the London
scene - include DJs as varied as Sasha, Claude Von Stroke, Tim
Sheridan, Mike Monday, Ralph Lawson, Steve Lawler, David Duriez, Tom Neville, Nic Faniculli,
James Zabiela, Funk D'Void, Tom Middleton, Tom Stephan, Sebastien Leger,
Audiofly, Gabriel & Dresden, Audiofly, Trente Cantrelle, Radioslave and many more.
And it gets better: in 2007, the
Catz have been asked to join the touring roster for
Electronik, a new night where music-industry legend
John Acquaviva picks the best new up-and-coming producers and plays with them round Europe, starting with
Ibiza, mainland Spain, Latin America, Italy and the UK.
There’s an EP due out on Playtime Records,
Candiru/Music Box, as well as more tracks on Catzmuzik,
Berwick St, FAKT, a second French tour, NYC and Canada, Russia gigs and an Australia tour in addition to an already full diary of UK gigs and
the GEEK/Playtime residency. Plus, already completed and due for release in Summer 2007, the first Catz
album, 'Sunday Friends'...

'These guys are shit-hot' Phil Sales (Ministry of Sound)
' There was a great unity of sound but the genres were diverse. Sound familiar? Been my modus operandi for decades. The catz were a joy to groove to... and I was saved 12 hours later by Dan Cheshire Cat and his after-hours tunes, revived enough to stumble to a cab but not before yoinking his CD' Tim Sheridan, review of Playtime at Egg
Steve Lawler playing 'The Drop' at the Space opening party...
