Dead Kat (FR)
[Drum & Bass, Alternative, Industrial]

Originally bass player in a grindcore band, he discovered electronic genres in 93 with friends. He really started with jungle/drumnbass after a party he was invited in 94... ambiance and breaks combined to the electronic soundz smashed his face...

...finding this powerfull energy of the breakbeats not that far from hardcore and metal he realized that something must have to be done in this way...

After more than 10 years of DJiing experience, traveling through europe to bring the hardcore dnb sound to the audience, it's in 2006 that he launch Future Sickness Records with Spookane, the imprint is aiming to bring the most brutal artists from all over the world, with a schedule including famous producers such as Counterstrike, Current Value, Raiden, Donny, Vengeanze, Mumblz, Cooh, no doubt the sickness will finally take over the scene. Focussing on production this year in all styles (dnb, hiphop, downtempo) and collabing with ppl like Kantyze, Antichristus, Peter Kürten, his latest bits will be soon available on labels such as M-Atome, Evil Beats Recs and others to come...

Our story began ominously on 2006, when two kindred spirits joined forces to bring the music they live and breathe to the masses. Spookane (Belgium), The Dead Kat (France) share a love for Darkstep which naturally evolved from their Hardcore roots. They got together to form Future Sickness Records, providing a platform for high-end DNB productions regardless of fame or fortune. Their mission: to infect the globe with the darkest of sounds and to enrich the Drum and Bass landscape with fresh tunes by new as well as established talent. The tracks on the label are characterized by the energy of the drums and bassline, and ambient noises similar to those used in neurofunk.

Signings from around the world ensure a varied take on the in house style, with artists representing three continents. These include Counterstrike, a South African duo that has been taking the world by storm for over a decade; US based Mumblz, Empire-x, and the Cenobites collective; as well Current Value from Germany. Future releases by Donny, Outside Agency, SPL, Current Value, Cooh, Lucio De Rimanez and others are in the pipeline and are expected to hit the streets later on this year.

Taking the evolution of the industry into account, the digital side to their collective is being developed heavily.
