Acid Cats is 2 over weight, aging DJ’s that still feel<br />

they have something to offer the World of clubbing.<br />

“We’ve been at this a long,” says James, formerly know<br />

as Scientific Funk. “We know what works and what<br />

doesn’t on the dancefloor. That is our primary focus. It<br />

might be a cliche, but we are only interested in ‘killers’<br />

- we don’t do fillers. We want our tune to be the one<br />

that makes your night. The ne you go and find out<br />

what it is.” This may be a bold statement but the Acid<br />

Cats rapidly growing back catalogue is ‘littered’ with<br />

dancefloor weapons. As heir name suggests their<br />

tracks are built around the sound of the 303 although<br />

there’s a lot more going on than just a simple acid line<br />

over a 909 or 808 beat. You’ll find funky, driving bass<br />

lines sitting under some edgy synths, atmospheric fx<br />

and floor infused percussion with the 303 not always<br />

the focus of the track. There’s more to these ‘boys’ than<br />

their name suggests.<br />

" I knew from an early age that music was gonna be my life for<br />

ever. It’s helped me through some bad times and I’ve also had some of<br />

the best times of my life around music. DJ'ing is addictive. I’m sure<br />

everyone has that particular set they played and it went off!! There’s<br />

no buzz like it " - Richie
