Cat Traffic + DJNOTADJ LP Bundle

$36.00 $50.00

Two records, two decades apart, chasing the same idea: what happens when live players and electronic production share a room.

DJNOTADJ's Deep Roots in Shallow Ground landed when "jamtronica" was still a new word. DJNOTADJ shared stages with STS9, The New Deal, Lake Trout and Siamese, the bands that taught jam fans to dance to drum and bass. The record weaves delayed guitars, Rhodes, flute and synth pads through house, trip-hop and drum and bass, across 12 mostly instrumental tracks that flow together for over an hour. This 20th anniversary edition was remastered by Royce Diamond and pressed as a double LP on duotone orange swirl vinyl.

Cat Traffic picks up that thread today. Behind the gold cat mask is Scott Welch, a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist from Kansas City. He learned to build records layer by layer in Raphael Saadiq's Los Angeles studio and worked on Tank and the Bangas' Green Balloon. His debut mixes progressive jam energy, open improvisation and futuristic textures, with a sense of humor ("Meow What?", "Catnip Trip"). Pressed on 140 gram catnip gold vinyl, limited to 250 copies.

Play them back to back and you can hear the lineage: live grooves run through electronic sound design, one record from the scene's early days and one from right now.
