Read the future house don's tour diary

Scoring a nomination for Breakthrough DJ at our Best Of British Awards last year, he's a dab hand on the decks too, as likely to be found spinning at the world's biggest rooms as he is the hidden basements of the globe's most cultured cities. With recent gigs in Mexico, Italy and Equador making up his schedule, as well as a set at the Gist tent at Brownstock Festival on Sunday 1st September, we asked him to tell it like it is...

House legend plays us his most inspiring records

House legend Felix Da Housecat has found his way again, not that we ever thought he’d veered from the path of genius. After experiencing something close to a divine intervention, convinced that he had the devil on one shoulder and his family on the other, Felix has given up tequila. And his creative juices are in full flow again, with his latest release, the ‘Sinner Winner’ EP, sparking mayhem on the dancefloors, an exciting collaboration with dub hero Lee Scratch Perry in the bag and a new album due for release this year. Now living in London, Felix cites the UK as the place that he got his start. 
“I’ve lived here back and forth, sometimes I would stay for a year. But when I first came, England accepted me. And the vibe here back then, it’s still that vibe here now, it's not cheesy here at all.”
