Felix Da Housecat's Mixtape

Felix Da Housecat releases his latest album ‘He Was King’ on 24th August 2009. To celebrate, he's picked out his favourite songs for us!

“This is my electronic pop record,” preens Felix Da Housecat, midway through a world tour to promote his latest album. Packed with club smashes like ‘KickDrum’ and future synth-pop classics such as ‘We All Wanna Be Prince’ and ‘Spank You Very Much’, his tenth album is arguably his most concise, complete work since ‘Kittenz…’ ripped up the electro rulebook back in 2001.
