Felix Da Housecat

House music has a long memory. Certain records, textures and instincts resurface again and again, not as revival but as reference. Ideas are carried forward, reworked, and misremembered. Digitalism and Felix Da Housecat sit comfortably inside that loop. Different generations, different entry points, the same ongoing conversation.

This show brings that conversation into the open. Between them, more than sixty years spent inside clubs, studios and sound systems, accumulating language rather than legacy. Liberty Hall Courts provides the setting. An open-air dancefloor where funk, groove, electro and melody move outward through space rather than being held in.

When Digitalism emerged in the early 2000s, electronic music was beginning to bleed into wider culture while still belonging to the club. Their sound landed between indie, dance and alt-rock, drawing as much from guitars and songwriting as from drum machines and club dynamics. Bright chord progressions, cinematic textures and restless energy sit at the centre of their work. What the duo describe as “colourful” is never decorative. It is physical, emotional and built for movement. Their music resists being fixed to a moment. Ideas recur, mutate and return with different weight each time.

Felix Da Housecat has been present for several of house music’s major shifts, beginning in Chicago in the late 1980s and moving through multiple cycles of underground and mainstream culture. Rooted in classic house and funk, his sound expanded into electro, electroclash and synth-led club music that helped define the early 2000s. His catalogue reflects a continuous relationship with the dancefloor. Anthems that anchored scenes, remixes and collaborations spanning Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and Nina Simone, and a sensibility shaped as much by humour and attitude as groove.

Seen together, Digitalism and Felix Da Housecat are not a pairing built on nostalgia or spectacle. They represent two ways of staying engaged with dance music as a living form. Returning to familiar ideas, testing them in new rooms, and letting the dancefloor decide what still works.

A night for listening as much as moving. For recognising the past without rehearsing it.
