He Was King

Felix da Housecat

A glossy, neon-soaked pivot toward synth-pop. Felix trades the raw grit of electroclash for polished hooks and a deep, funky reverence for the Purple One.

It's what happens when a house legend decides to make a funky, robotic pop record for the 2am crowd.

A confident and glossy celebration of dance-pop history filtered through a cool, urban lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The blatant, celebratory funk homage in the bassline of track 1, channeling pure Minneapolis energy.
The shift into cold, mechanical repetition during the chorus of Machine, where the human voice feels fully digitized.
The way the kick drum punches through the shimmering synth pads on the title track to close the album.
