About Me


Life is awesome and im reeeeally excited about alot of things right now :-) it kinda started back in Australia playing with live bands in this little seaside metropolis called the Gold Coast. Bowser , The Julian Date and The Beat Traffikers (the later which jumped on board Cut La Rocs Rocstar Records) were some outfits that i had a lot of fun with at the time!!!Though the last 4 years have seen me living in the UK, Brighton and London, and over that period i achieved pretty much what i set out to do. i released a bunch of vinyl EPs through the likes of West Records , Sokolov Sounds , Hot To Trot Records , RuffDog Recordings , Rocstar Records , Flatout , Diverted Traffic and Mofo either as an original artist, remix artist or emcee on vocal colaborations. And through those labels and various projects i had the opportunity to work with some really amazing djs and producers like Rennie Pilgrem , Diverted , Vlad Sokolov , The Beat Assassins , Missill , Cut La Roc , Funkonomics , Rob Reng , Grand Def Audio , Peo DePitte , Nick Thayer , Madox and ReFunk , to rattle off a few... Since ive been at a computer its dancefloor breakbeat that ive been producing mostly, but over the years ive written all sorts from downtemp to punk to hiphop and jump up style party funk.Djing over here in the UK has been super cool fun!!! And teaming up with the Diverted boys and playing live with them for Ali B 's monthly Air Records party at Cargo has been a great balance between rockin turntables and then being able to rock a stage with instruments and kids on the level. For a stint there i was emceeing some shows with Rennie Pilgrem which was a blast and i got to play some great venues like SEone in London and this big ass boat out on the Danube for the Fresher kids in Budapest was crazy fun!!! In London and UK as NineLives ive dj'ed and emceed parties like Breakspoll @ Fabric , Chew The Fat @ The End , C64 , Air@Cargo, Get Busy @Trafik, TCR Records @Lockside Lounge, White Rhino @ The Volks , Supertronix @ Clockwork , a residency for Social Breaks @ Jrink in Soho and in 2007 i hosted/emceed the Breaks Day stage at the Glade Festival which was a fine honor to be sure. Again ive had such an awesome opportunity being able to dj and emcee alongside some of the worlds finest. Friendly , Stanton Warriors , Freq Nasty , The Drumattic Twins .... Touring the NineLives gig has takin me back to Australia 2 times now and ive hit some shows in Ireland, France and America.On the radio tip Annie Nightingale from Radio 1 , who i appreciate the support, aired a mix of mine a little while back and ive played slots on Jay Cunnnings Kiss FM and both NSB ( HighHeels Sessions and Diverted Traffic) and IBreaks (Sokolov Sounds and Flores De La Breaks) internet radio shows.So from now the story goes like.... NineLives The Cat is soon to be based in Baltimore, USA. This scenario kinda shaped up after touring with B-more punk spaz buddies The DeathSet ( Counter Records - NinjaTune ). After playing a solid month of shows through europe earlier this year 2008, an east coast tour with them in the States back in 2006 and a visa ready to expire here in the UK, i figured America seems like the next logical thing to go and get. Playing with the Deathset live is a bunch of fun that not many words can describe clearly enough. Its a "you really have to be there" kinda moment and it kicks. So for the year ahead im gonna be completely focusing on touring with those kids and with studio time squeezed in between the roadtrips there will be plenty more new releases from the likes of NineLives The Cat for sure!!! original works, remixes, vocal colabs, shows and touring, standard debauchery.... this shit is NOW worldwide!!!NINELIVES THE CAT DISCOGRAPHYRELEASED: Junkdog/Planet Number 3 - The Beat Traffikers full EP - Rocstar Bouncin Off The Walls - (w/Tom Real n Rogue Element remix) - West Funk Down Low - Rob Reng feat NineLives The Cat (w/ F.M.M. remix) - RuffDog Sureshock - (w/Diverted remix feat NineLives The Cat) - Sokolov Sounds Funky Fingers - Peo DePitte feat NineLives (w/NineLives remix) - Flatout Cant Stop, Dont Stop - Nick Thayer vs NineLives The Cat - Bomb Strikes Le Roc - (w/Grand Def Audio remix) - Hot To Trot Records Dogfood - (w/Santos remix and Hoxton Whores remix) - RuffDog Justice - Mr Elastik (w/NineLives The Cat remix) - Sokolov Sounds Check Electro (Urban Plastic) - Madox feat NineLives The Cat - Mantra GenerationMTV - Beat Assassins feat NineLives (w/PlazaDeFunk remix) - Mofo Check Dat/Toxick (Targets) - Missill feat NineLives/Dynamite MC - Discograph Bing Bing Boom - No Siesta (w/NineLives The Cat remix) - Respect Music Beats & Bobz Vol7 (10th Birthday Edition) - Rennie Pilgrem feat NineLives LIVE In The Cavern Club - FunctionalUPCOMING: The Invisible/Bump It - NineLives full EP - Diverted Traffic Circle Kid - Funkonomics feat NineLives The Cat - Rocstar Recordings Cant Stop - Rennie Pilgrem feat NineLives The Cat - TCR Vicious - (w/Madox remix) - West Records Game Over - ReFunk feat NineLives The Cat - Re:connect Surge - Stylus Rex (w/NineLives The Cat remix) - Ground Level The Hell - Break The Box (w/NineLives The Cat remix) - Lucky Break
