 fat
cat records
Founded in 1990 by Dave Cawley and
Alex Knight, Fat
Cat began as an electronic-based record store in Crawley. Moving
to London's Covent Garden in 1991, the shop developed an avid fanbase in the
expanding electronic scene. Regular customers included Andrew
Weatherall, Derrick May, Juan
Atkins, Richie Hawtin, Mu-Ziq, Aphex
Twin and Black Dog.
From the start, Dave & Alex wanted the Fatcat record label to cover more
than techno or post-techno music. They
signed and developed Sigur Rós, Black Dice, Set
Fire To Flames, David Grubbs, Mum, Xinlisupreme, Animal
Collective, Mice Parade, Him, Crescent, Giddy
Motors, and Stromba.
2000 saw the release of the E-RMX series
- an underground remix project based around the release of eight 7” singles
and a website, www.e-rmx.com,
which The Wire described as "genuinely state-of-the-art".
