So who is Meat Katie and why should you come and see him? Well allow me to give you a little bit of background information....

Meat Katie is the alias of south Londoner Mark Pember, the producer and DJ that borrowed the name from a video in a porn store and went on to produce music with a unique blend of breakbeat, house and techno.

Meat Katie has established himself as a pioneer in a style of music that we can loosely term as breakbeat. Having started amid the upsurge of 90s big beat with Ceasefire and Kingsize Records, Meat Katie cut his first album called “Off The Bone” in 1998. Since then a steady progression has been witnessed; Mark’s big beats became funky breaks and funky breaks slowly mutated into elements of house, breaks and techno. This dance floor orientated brand of “tech-breaks” has been forged while the majority of other successful breaks producers from the same generation have moved onto making “nu school” and “intelligent breaks”, which have seduced a largely armchair based audience.

This recent transformation in breaks hasn’t swayed Mark from confidently continuing along his path in music production, “I’m comfortable with it. But like they say, you can’t please everyone. I’m more pleased that people like Seb Fontaine, Steve Lawler and Lee Burridge are playing my music regularly now, whereas before they never did. I’ve been making records that I can use in a set and they’ve all been really well received, and that’s kinda nice”.

Mark's many collaborations with other artists have also consistently stood on the cutting edge of conventional breaks production. The Meat Katie name has been spotted scattered across scores of album covers alongside people such as Arthur Baker, Dylan Rhymes, Lee Coombs, Elite Force, B.L.I.M. and Rennie Pilgrem.

Last July he headlined the FOTB tent at Truck Festival and this year sees the release of his next artist album "AV Vibrator". This is an album that is combined with the visual image hence the AV part of the title, we hope that he will be bring his Vj to the Cellar however, with the limited space in there this may not be possible but here's hoping!!

This is Meat Katie's Fabric CD...go and buy it. This should give you a good idea of the kind of thing he will be playing at the Cellar!

This is a great opportunity to see one of the best house / breaks / techno DJs in the world in the most intimate of surroundings. If you like it electronic you will love this!
