New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Sullivan Room) - It's undeniable that over the past three years, Lot 49 has sustained its reputation as being one of the scene's taste-making labels, and as we approach our 3rd Birthday, we thought we should celebrate in style by launching our very first compilation series 'Lot 49 Presents'. Since 2004, we've been pioneering the Tech-Funk sound (a hybrid of Techno, Electro, House and Breaks) with over 25 releases featuring artists such as Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, Vandal, D Ramirez, Elite Force, Dexter, Jono Fernandez,
Marco Bailey,
James Talk, Alex Metric, Lotzenkirchen, and many many more. It's been a fantastic journey thus far, and to further solidify our roots in the Tech (and the Funk) we offer to you our new compilation 'Lot 49 presents: Meat Katie'.
Meat Katie (Mark Pember) has made a name for himself as one of the world's leading DJ / Producers, those who have seen him DJ in the past 5 years will know that it is his diversity and energy that has earned him this respect, His tough, Techy style, has seen him play sets across the globe alongside an eclectic group of DJs from Digitalism, Justice and Simian, Soulwax and Erol Alkan, to Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, James Zabiela Carl Cox, and John Digweed, and not forgetting some of the world's top Breaks acts including, Plump DJ's, Stanton Warriors. He's supported live acts such as Chemical brothers, Represent, and Infusion, and He even recently played on the Valve Soundsystem as one of the only non-Drum 'n Bass DJs ever to do so. Over the last year, Mark has also worked on an audio visual show along side VJ Anyone (rated No. 3 in the World) and together they have taken their unique show to clubs such as 'Fabric, Urban Gorilla, Technique and last summers Glade Festival with many more in the pipeline for this year. Needless to say, Meat Katie is a DJ in hot commodity.
His first compilation for Lot 49 is really an exploration into his inimitable DJing style and sound. It's a relentless, vibe-ing mix from start to finish, which is just about as close as you can get to seeing Meat Katie live without actually being in a club. Its also an exact representation of where LOT 49 is at right now, and where its going in the future. About the mix, Mark says, "Maybe its not very PC or very 'experimental' to actually try to capture your live performance on a mix comp, love it or hate it, I don't want people to get confused as to what I do, I like it dirty and rolling�and more than anything I like my sets to carry some attitude & bollox!"
The compilation includes ten tracks exclusives including Vandal's 'Bad Acid', Dylan Rhymes 'Suicide Girls', Elite Force 'I Don't Think So', 30Hz 'Mutton', Meat Katie's latest offering 'She Ain't Right', and his unique rework of the Bassbin Twins 'The Dogs' and last but certainly not least, Rogue Element's blistering new remix of Dylan Rhymes' classic 'Muzika'� Slotting in perfectly alongside the exclusives are some quality offerings from the likes of Sharam Jey, Loulou Players, Swen Webber, and David Eckenback. The list of goodness goes on and on, but as they say�the proof is in the pudding. So without further adieu LOT 49 presents: Meat Katie.
