Record Label Spotlight: Fatcat Records

FatCat Records is an English independent record label founded in Brighton in 1997 by David Cawley and Alexander Knight. Their reputation comes from all the different music styles they've dabbled with, including indie-rock, avant-garde, electronic, and folk. The record label first got its start in 1989 in West Sussex, when founders Alex and David originally formed a record store. That store then moved to London in the '90s, where their main focus was Detroit and Chicago based house music. The store ultimately closed down, and FatCat was born in its place. It would move to Brighton in 2001.
