More on Meat Katie & The Scumfrog below:
Meat Katie
South West londoner Mark Pember (AKA Meat Katie) has had a long history in Dance music. In his time he has recorded for such prestigious labels such as Wall of Sound, R&S Records , Kingsize, Bedrock, Perfecto, Great Stuff, Renaissance, Saw not to mention his first record deal, signed to Iggy pops Kill City Records (as a bass player in 3 piece skate punk band Sandladder). Pember has also remixed for / collaborated with Arthur Baker, U.N.K.L.E, Boy George, Deep Dish, D.Ramirez, Peace Division, Chicken Lips, Robbie Rivera & James Zabelia, to name but a few.
To date Pember has released three Meat Katie artist albums, Off the bone (1998), Long to belong (2000) & Vibrator (2006), all diverse in style and vibe but glued together by his techy and lo-fi feel', he has worked with such vocalist as Kurt wagner from Nashville indie/country band Lambchop, garage/trash vocalist Holly Golightly, new york house legend roland Clark and UK Diva Katherine Ellis, in 2000 mark also made a one off alternative album 'Never The Less' under the name Avenue A, a collaborative project with Jason o' Bryan co-producuer with the Dub pistols, it was this project that lead Mark to score the music for film adaptation of martin amis’ 'Dead Babies', an art house production by Gruber films (Shooting fish, waking ned), starring Paul Bettany.
Arguably its Marks work as a DJ that has really seen him shine, a world class performer with excellent technical ability and a great understanding of the dance-floor, he has built a reputation worldwide. Those who have seen him play will know that it is his diversity and energy that has earned him such respect, his toughTechy style, has seen him play across the globe alongside an eclectic group of DJs from Digitalism, Justice and Simian mobile disco, Soulwax and Erol Alkan, to Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, James Zabiela, Sasha & Digweed, Carl Cox, even Armand van buren & Marco V, and not forgetting some of the world’s top Breaks acts including, Plump DJ’s, Stanton Warriors. He'’s supported live acts such as Chemical brothers, Pendulum, Basement jaxx, Represent, and Infusion, and He even recently played on the Valve Soundsystem as one of the only non-Drum ‘n Bass DJs ever to do so.
It is these djing skills that have led him to compile and mix compilations for such land mark series such as, Bedrock breaks, Fabric live & most recently Sessions' for Ministry of Sound, a very unique dj, over the years he has perfected a cross over of techno electro with a subtle break beat feel (better know as tech funk) in recent interviews mark described his own playing, when pressed about pigeon holing himself genre wise he replied “The only thing pigeon holes are good for.... is pigeons", mark is living proof that taste is more important than simply following the crowd and bandwagon jumping.
Mark has also been working on an audio visual show along side VJ Anyone (currently rated No. 3 in the World) together they have taken their unique show to clubs such as `Fabric, Urban Gorilla, Technique and Festivals such as Glastonbury, Glade, and many more.
Not satisfied with being a world class dj producer the self confessed workaholic also found time to set up and run his own highly influence LOT49 imprint (with Dylan Rhymes, whom he also shares a studio with in south west london under the same name).
Lot 49 has without a doubt maintained a reputation as being a taste-making label, never shy to experiment with multi genres and with over 50 releases under its belt featuring artists such as, Dubfire , Audiojack, D Ramirez, Elite Force, Dexter, Phil Kieran, Lee Coombs, Robbie Rivera, Marco Bailey, James Talk, Alex Metric, Lutzenkirchen, Evil 9 and obviously Meat Katie & Dylan Rhymes, the Lot49 steamroller shows no sign of slowing down, it will celebrate its 7 year anniversary later this year with an exclusive label compilation CD/ with a an exclusive DVD documentary about the label and artists, a world tour is in the works for the 2nd quarter of this year.
The Future.
On a production level mark has been commissioned by Loopmasters to compile his 2nd sample pack for their prestigious 'Artist series' (alongside Deadmau5, Coldcut, 20/20 vision), and a 4 track Dj tools pack is almost finished which has also been commissiond by Loopmaster in conjunction with Beatport.
There is also a fourth Meat Katie artist album is in the pipeline and will see the light of day Late 2012
More about The Scumfrog:
Last year, The Scumfrog reunited with his underground roots in the custom-made DJ set "A Place Where We Belong". 12 new tracks, tailor made for the perfect DJ set. The individual tracks were released by various prestigious labels such Armin Van Buuren's Armada, Umek's 1605, Prok & Fitch's Floorplay, Mason's Animal Language, and others. Halloween marks the official release of The Scumfrog’s long awaited project with Sting. Since the beginning of DJ culture, Sting has been the voice of sampling-choice for many producers, and new bootleg versions of his popular songs still surface at an ever constant rate. But an official Dance Music release baring the 16-time Grammy Award winner's name is rare. Last year, however, The Scumfrog received approval to remake "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You," and the amazing result of this long awaited project is finally here.
The Scumfrog (aka Jesse Houk) is mostly known for his underground flavored remixes of artists like Missy Elliott, New Order, Kylie Minogue, and Annie Lennox, and his collaborations writing/producing techno oriented works with David Bowie and Cyndi Lauper. With his versions of "If I Ever Lose My Faith," The Scumfrog has returned to his deep house roots, while still giving the main vocal mix his signature mass appeal. A new Scumfrog album celebrating the deeper and techier side of Dance Music is due later this year on Armada Music.
As a DJ, he has toured the world many times over, and since 2009 he hosts a weekly radio show/podcast Glam Scum International. https://www.facebook.com/ScumfrogArtist

Opel Productions
Opel specializes in conscious parties with kick ass line ups. Our intention is to use the dance community as a positive vehicle of change in the community and the world.
We believe the Bay Area dance community is in a unique position to be a catalyst for moving the greater society in a more conscious direction, in fact we feel that if we don't do this, the future looks very bleak for all of us.
We're dance enthusiasts tired of a world without substance, we're funky freaks trying to encourage some change, one party at a time.
