Felix Da Housecat has made a career out of simply doing his own thing. From his acid house beginnings with Phantasy Girl back in 1987, to his virtual creation of electroclash with the Kittenz And The Glitz album fifteen years later, he's one of the creators of the scene - and the sounds - that we hold dear today.

2007's Virgo Blacktro & The Movie Disc saw the Prince-obsessed Felix return to his musical roots, to create an album he calls, 'a sexy, black, electronic disco record' as it harkens back to the likes of Parliament's p-funk, but also updates classics like his own old school number, The Dawn, with a whole new beat.
