felix da housecat – Taste The Punch

This 1997 Line-up at Luton Hoo would still be a block buster today

Whilst searching the web to see if our future headliners Faithless had been to our splendid town of Luton before, we started to uncover not only that they had, but also a whole list of other incredible acts had once performed here too!

Way back in the late 90’s a festival popped up called Tribal Gathering, held on the grounds at Luton Hoo Estate in the summer, between 25,000 – 35,000 ravers would descend on the event who bought in acts such as (Wait for it):….

Kraftwerk
Faithless
DaftPunk
The Chemical Brothers
Paul Oakenfold
Orbital
Fluke
Dj Sneak
Sven Vath
Richie Hawtin
Laurent Garnier
Pete Tong
Jeff Mills

Kevin Saunderson
Dave Clarke
Felix da Housecat
Deep Dish
Marshall Jefferson
Masters At Work
Roger Sanchez
Sasha
Roni Size
Fabio
GrooveRider
Dj Rap
John Digweed

Whilst it’s unlikely an event of this magnitude will happen in that location again, we can still be excited to bring in one act off the epic list this Easter, as we celebrate 5 Years Of Taste The Punch on Good Friday at Carnival Arts, Luton.

If you were one of the lucky ones and managed attend Tribal Gathering feel free to let us know all about on twitter

Felix Da Housecat Launches New Label ‘Founders Of Filth’

Chicago House producer and DJ is set to headline for us at Eden Ibiza this June 16th, alongside with George Kwali, Icarus, Lee Walker, Mambo Brothers, Paul Malcom and Too Tall.

Felix has recently launched a new label called ‘Founders Of Filth’, Mixmag showcased the initial launch tracks and here’s what they had to say:

“The inaugural release on the imprint is comprised of three original productions, showcasing Felix’s talents as an experienced, Grammy nominated producer with over three decades in the industry.

Of the three tracks found on ‘Founders Of Filth Volume One’, one is a solo production while the other two feature noteworthy talent. Legendary vocalist Jamie Principle, who broke through on collaborations with Frankie Knuckles.

Felix revealed why he chose to start the new label and what people can expect from its output: “An imprint where no rules apply. You can be as creative as you want to be, as a community. I just got so tired of fighting labels and for my people to shine, it went on deaf ears”.

‘Founders Of Filth Volume One’ is set to release on 9th June.
