Kindred: Volume 001

1. COPYCATT - CHEROKEE [KINVA001]

Produced by COPYCATT (@itscopycatt)
Written by Andre' Butterworth

"Drawing on influences as diverse as J Dilla, King Krule, and Skrillex, COPYCATT has carved out a
distinctive sound in electronic music with his bass-heavy sound design, infectious grooves, and
meticulous drum production. His genre-less style has attracted the attention of electronic heavyweights
like Pretty Lights, Slander, Tipper, Subtronics, and Zeds Dead, along with prominent music channels such
as BBC and Triple J.

"His unique approach brought him from his hometown in Queensland to iconic U.S. stages like Red Rocks and the Orion Amphitheatre, where he supported EDM staples and captivated audiences with his high-energy performances. His infectious stage presence, dry humor, and occasional “shoey,” COPYCATT brings an Aussie spirit to his sets while blending a hip-hop-infused sound with a lively, interactive vibe. Whether diving into hard-hitting bass or rhythm-driven tracks, COPYCATT’s music keeps him in high demand."

"Driven by thick, intricate bass design, local production heavyweight ‘The Navigator’ has been harnessing his passion for bass music for over 10 years. Hailing from Brisbane, since 2016 The Navigator has been involved with numerous local and international record labels. Most notably, his bass-heavy halftime tunes on Full Flex Audio (UK) and 8Ball Audio (AUS) provide a glimpse into The Navigator’s diverse creative talent. April 2023 saw The Navigator establish himself as a force to be reckoned with through his independent EP “Set The Standard” - a diverse, dark, and rhythmic experience that quickly became a fan favourite with tracks like “Sugar Hit” and “TFW Nobody Cares About Halftime”. With many more high-profile releases on the way, his skill for bass craft has only been refined. You’re going to want to keep an eye out for this one."
