Cats & Breakkies are four young Berliners with jazz in their hearts and techno in their genes. With a classical band line-up – electric guitar, bass, drums, keys – they rock an instrumental dj-live-set on stages, floors and festivals anytime. Always danceable, with courage to elegiac melodies, opulent breaks and rich pads, they convince above all by a precise build-up of tension and tonal dimension in their arrangements. After their debut album Organic Electro (2015), co-produced with David August, had been released, they were nominated for the “Bremer Jazzpreis 2016” in the category “Jazz & Electronics”. With “Spectral” (2018) they stepped up their game yet again. In three individual sets, they weave artful tonal and metric layers, drill thick disco-boards, deliver perfect build up and drop dramaturgy – and above all in a relaxed way put on immense pressure. Cats & Breakkies, that is elegant, straightforward live-electro from Berlin.
