| ELECTRONICAT came to life in 1997 when Fred Bigot started
mixing samples of vocals, guitars, analogue syths and drum machines to
create a pounding, fuzzy, wah-wah distorted psychedelic electro sound
that became his trademark.
Since a few years he has re-introduced the guitar itself as a live and
visual element and the voice has taken on a more major role as he started
to piece together the improvised ideas, loops and samples from the previous
years to create more composed songs.
In this context he decided to work together with other internationally
reknowned electronic music producers, such as Gerhard Potuznik and Patrick
Pulsinger and employ vocals from other musicians, ie. Khan, Snax, Catriona
Shaw, Max Turner. He has released several albums, singles and remixes
(eg. for Depeche Mode) on labels like Angelika Koehlermann, Disko B, Oni-tor
and Mute. In turn he has also been remixed by artists such as Felix Kubin,
Kid 606 and other respected musicians on the electronic music circuit.
Alongside this, he maintained activity in a visual-arts context, working
regularly with dance groups (eg. Mark Tomkins and Sylvain Prunenec) and
artists (eg. Cecile Babiole), being able to create spontaneous “soundtracks”
within diverse conditions. As ELECTRONICAT, his live shows are wild events,
a whacked-out rally of rock and electrified punk with much table hopping,
guitar pounding and cat wailing leaving you yelping for more.
“Voodoo Man” will be his sixth album and second release on
Disko B.
