   About Octavcat
Hello. We are octavcat. We make music using things like computers and old keyboards. We also make videos and pictures to go with our music. Sometimes we like to play our music out of big speakers in front of people and to make pictures move about on a great big screen.

....
. New Album out now!

Octavcat - Hard As Snails

"Lushly crafted crunchy crackly squelchy electro pop tenderly dappled with longing lounge mirages and a kind of refined spectral grace that suggests much pouring over old Plaid records - sophisticated, slick and best appreciated for optimal super chilled impact with the lights lowered."
(Review by Losing Today)

Blue 12" vinyl and digital download available now from
Uncharted Audio Boomkat iTunes Bleep And all good record shops.

Past releases

Octavcat - The EPs 2003 - 2004

Digital re-release of our 2 EPs iTunes.


Octavcat - Dumming Up

"Octavcat make excellent slightly harsh but kinda groovy electronica"
Dumming Up review by Warp Records.

Released 2006 on Unlable Recordings.
Digital re-release iTunes.


Octavcat - Dropping Waves

Released 2005 on U Cover Records.
Limited edition CDr combining our two EPs.

"Octavcat mixes up stoner crunch with Kraftwerky bouncefunk, dropping in enough chirruping synths, oddball sounds and machinedrum melodies to admirably distinguish Dropping Waves from the hordes of bleep-merchants running rampant amongst the Warp and Rephlex stables."
Dropping Waves review by www.ei-mag.com


Octavcat - Biggerabit EP

Released 2004 on Blacknight Records.

"Positively one of the finest and most surprising electronic releases of the year".
Biggerabit EP review by www.angryape.com


Octavcat - The Siamese EP

Released 2003 on Blacknight Records.

"Superb 4 track 12" of deep spacey electronics; this is one of the best electronic things in the last couple of weeks".
Siamese EP review by Smallfish Records London.

DRM Syncussion KIT - www.prokits.co.uk Engineer: Hesed (www.atm23.net) DRM1 Syncussion is a true analog drum synthesizer that i own in my studio. After many years using it i decide to share with you this amazing analog sound. Similar to the 808 sound but with his own characteristic. It has eight drum sounds and nine knobs per sound with over 70 knobs total. Suitable for soft and hard styles from electro to techno, all in old school sound flavour!!!! Most of the samples are in different decay lenght for better drum articulation. 128 Samples : DRUMVOICE 1/2/3, MULTI, SNARE, CYMBAL, HI HAT (OPEN or CLOSED http://www.prokits.co.uk/productview.asp?productID=322
