MIKIX THE CAT

Mike Gnacadja, better known as Mikix The Cat, is a 21-year-old musical wonder dude that hails from Paris, France. This former b-boy got involved with music at the young age of 6, embracing and combining hip-hop, Eurodance, and Afro-beat. By the time he was 14, he was making mixtapes for breakdance crews and had discovered the joy of DJing.

 After raising funds DJing at local birthdays and bar mitzvahs, Mikix bought his first laptop in 2007 and started producing hip-hop-infused breaks and beats. 

Mike’s first release, “Dead Disco,” came about quite by accident—it was a session outtake of him trying to emulate disco house. After so much positive feedback over the internet and blogs, he decided to blend all his influences into producing heavy 4/4 sounds, and he hasn’t looked back since. These days, Mikix’s name is synonymous with heavy kicks and house music that burns up the dancefloor. If you don’t believe us, just check his “Freeze” single or his Movin’ Around EP on Trouble & Bass, or the more minimal, African-inspired house sounds he records under the name Momma’s Boy.
