Bio

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.

"To guys like Justice, Digitalism and Boyz Noize, I'm more of an 'old school contemporary' guy," says Felix Stallings. "I leave it up to them to make the noise, 'cos I've done that. Now I'm more into making songs, telling stories and good melodies - sorta like how Prince was."

As you'd expect, Felix believes that his new album, Virgo Blaktro & The Movie Disco, eclipses all his previous work. Listening to it, hooked, for what must be the fifteenth time this weekend, goosebumps all over, it's hard not to agree. A dab hand at producing killer singles, Felix has finally made a classic album. Even Dallas Austin, in whose studio Virgo Blaktro was mixed, calls it Felix's Purple Rain because, simply, "Every song is amazing."
