ARISTOKAT

Aristokat is a passionate DJ and producer whose journey into music began with an early love for Hip-Hop, driven by the beats rather than the attitudes that often surrounded the genre.

Since 2012, Aristokat has been honing their craft, with an unwavering focus on the joy of collecting, discovering, and sharing exceptional music. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, the goal is always the same: to create a vibe, push boundaries, and deliver something special to the crowd.

Influenced by iconic names like Christian Burkhardt, Ian Pooley, Joyce Muniz, John Tejada, Justin Martin, Dyed Soundorom, Shonky and Robbie Lowe, Aristokat's sound blends deep grooves with minimalistic elegance. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Audiojack, DeWalta, and PAX, they embrace an understated yet funky style — always with a strong emphasis on rhythm and swing. It's the groove that drives their sound; the simplicity and elegance of a well-crafted 16-bar loop can carry a track for 8 minutes and more, evoking both energy and emotion on the dancefloor.

Aristokat first stepped into production in 2016, though the journey has been anything but quick. “It’s easy to start a track, but finishing it — that’s the challenge,” they say. Despite the slow progress, Aristokat is committed to quality over speed, refusing to release anything that doesn't feel right. A recent 6-week tour across Europe reignited their love for house music, rediscovering the raw energy and creativity that initially drew them to the genre. This experience has fueled their desire to dive deeper into production, with new releases and fresh ideas on the horizon.

As a DJ, Aristokat thrives on the challenge of crafting seamless, genre-defying sets that are as much about the journey as they are the destination. Their mix for LO-FI is a perfect example — carefully selected minimal, harmonically rich tracks, experimenting with key-based transitions to extend and transform the music in real-time. It’s about creating art and energy at the same time.

With a deep respect for the foundations of house music, a love for the minimal yet funky, and an ear tuned to what’s next, Aristokat is ready to continue evolving, both in the studio and behind the decks. Keep an eye out for upcoming productions, as they continue to shape and refine their unique sound — one groove at a time.
