Electronicat

Electronicat is the alter ego of French musician and performer Fred Bigot, whose work is characterized by its constant switch between experimental noise and pop music. His early collaborations include work with Kasper T. Toeplitz on the project "Sleaze Art", work with various choreographers (e.g. Sylvain Prunenec), theatre directors (Celia Houdart) and artists (e.g. Cecile Babiole). From 1997 until 2000 he collaborated with visual artist Cecile Babiole on an audio/visual show "Hot Spectrum", playing at festivals such as Phonotaktik in Vienna or FCMM in Montréal, after which he decided to perform solo. Combining samples of his own voice with guitars, analogue synthesizers and drum machine loops he created a pounding, fuzzy, wah-wah distorted psychedelic electro sound. In this context he decided to work together with other[citation needed] internationally renowned electronic music producers, such as Gerhard Potuznik and Patrick Pulsinger and employ the vocal skills of other musicians such as Khan (Captain Comatose), Catriona Shaw (Queen of Japan) and J. G. Thirlwell. Alongside this, he maintained activity in the experimental music circuit. He has released on a plethora of labels from Disko B to current London newcomer 'UpperCuts', has remixed numerous underground (e.g. Schlammpeitziger) and mainstream (e.g. Depeche Mode) musicians. In turn he has also been remixed by artists such as Zbigniew Karkowski, Kid 606 and other musicians on the electronic music circuit.[citation needed] Wild Animal, Mono-Tone Records, 2021 Chez Toi, Disko B, 2007 Voodoo Man, Disko B, 2005 21st Century Toy, Disko B, 2003 Birds Want to Have Fun, Angelika Koehlermann, 2002 Cat a tac, Oni.Tor, 2001 So I Love You, Noise Museum, 2000 Electronicat, Noise Museum, 1999 "Dans les Bois", Disko B, 2004 "Frisco Bay", Disko B, 2003 "Amour Sale", Disko B, 2002 "Shuffle Tiiiime", Alice in Wonder, 2000 Life Less Machine, (Cato Canari), Jet Set Records, 2007 My Baby Don't Care, (One-Two), Uppercuts, 2006 Jealousy, (Miss le Bomb), Careless Records, 2006 Loved But Not Fired, (Brezel Göring), Surprise, 2005 Keiren, (Shinto), Echokammer, 2004 America, (Boy from Brazil), Transsolar, 2004 Fast food messiah, (Junesex), Pop up, 2004 Prä-Frag Behäbige..., (Schlammpeitziger), Sonig, 2004 Baby, (Captain Comatose), Playhouse, 2004 We Got The Horror, (The Emergency), Feral Media, 2004 Alles ist da, (Mense Reents), Ladomat, 2003 Driving song, (Numbers), Tigerbeat6, 2002 Plugin city universe, (Valvola), S.H.A.D.O., 2002 Soft Wah War, (H.P vs A.Laplantine), Doxa, 2002 Spitcat, (Beefcake), M-tronic, 2002 The Dead of Night, (Depeche Mode), Mute, 2002 Chez Toi, Echokammer Werkschau, Echokammer, 2008 Lost Gigabyte, Pudel Produkte Vier, Nobistor, 2006 Wop Doowop, The Trip Curated By Jarvis Cocker, Family Records, 2006 Where were you...?, Freestyle Candies Vol.2, Klang Elektronik, 2006 Keiren, Disko Cabine, Lou Records, 2005 Flesh & Accessories, Electric Pop 4, MOFA 2005 Bolantronic, The Other Side, New York Breakbeat, 2005 Till I Die, Colette No. 5, Colette, 2003 Frisco Bay, Electro Rock, Wagram, 2003 Frisco Bay, Nag Nag Nag, React, 2003 Amour Sale, French Sounds Catalogue, 2002 Shuffle Tiiiime, Martin Gore DJ Set, Mute, 2001 Ecatloop, Lockers ERS 2000 Shuffle Time, Schaffelfieber, Kompakt, 2000 Official site Electronicat on All Music Electronicat on Forced Exposure Site as Fred Bigot Myspace page Disko B label page Electronicat interview Electronicat reviewed on Staalplaat Electronicat on Discogs Electronicat on Laut.de (German site) Short German interview on curt.de Electronicat Review in FutureMusic p.87, Issue 135
