Fired by an enthusiasm for the sounds then emerging from Detroit and Chicago, FatCat began life in 1990 as a tiny independent record store in the London satellite town of Crawley. Ending up in a small, dimly-lit basement in Covent Garden, the shop rapidly grew to gain a strong reputation as one of the country’s finest outlets for electronic music. Regular visitors to the shop included the likes of Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Ritchie Hawtin, Andy Weatherall, Steve Bicknell, Aphex Twin, etc. FatCat were Derrick May’s supporting DJs of choice during his residency at the ministry Of Sound, whilst FatCat’s Alex Knight drove the Underground Resistance tour bus during their UK visit, and was a regular DJ at London’S legendary Lost, Sabresonic and Blood Sugar clubs.

FatCat Records releases have been charted by Henry Saiz, Dirt Crew, Tale Of Us, Mano Le Tough, Don Williams and 68 others.
