Album Notes

23Hz (producer, remixer, digital artist) started the CATFISH project in the spring of 1996. Linking up with the unique vocal talents of longtime hiphop collaborator Charles Anthony Reeve the experiment with the jungle blueprint began. It was the many long sessions during the 96 summer that sowed the first seeds of this incredible album.

The dawn of 1997 played witness to the emergence of the live CATFISH phenomenon - five musicians + a hefty DAT full of drums standing proud with the likes of ADF, Up Bustle + Out , Nitin Sawney and DJ Hype ...

A polyrhythmic soundscape of live instrumentation, vocals + studio technology has continued to evolve with the additions of the sharp + dynamic drumming of Alex G Lucas and the fluid engineering perfection of Andy Oakley.

It is now that CATFISH unleash their debut album.

"SUBSPACE FREQUENCIES" presents a four year progression of the sounds of CATFISH. From the early days of four tracks and W30 samplers, the music has become a deft fusion of fine art sound, atmospheric production and the raw organic nature of their full-blooded live show a unique collage of light + dark ... real + unreal ... space + gravity ...

From the electrifying moody opener "absolut" to their vENT0004 hit "Orak" , Subspace Frequencies effortlessly soars and dives its way through the sonic ether.

For this album read art sketches of a band who exist for instruments .. for sound ... for music the vibes that make their lives. Therein it stands as a tribute to those who have helped and those who have let them be. This is one of the most complete, intriguing and imaginative albums to hit these shores this year.

The band are now writing the next single - "Burning the Evidence part II - ashes to ashes" - and preparing their new live set for imminent detonation.

CATFISH live for music ..... they give you SUBSPACE FREQUENCIES

Something I have and will remeber.
author: Dillon P
This cd I had found in a huge sale, at a local store here in the San Fernando Valley, CA. The store was a small snow baird and skate shop called Green Sector. At one point in time they had added a music section of all hip hop break beat down tempo trance drum and bass and so on. I was about 15 and I went to go check out the place. It was realy trippy. I skated there in the rain up hil with a friend and we got there and just loved it. The cd was one of the few we bought, and I listened to it non stop for the next few months, during the rain and so on. It was such a heavy cd for my young teen cerebellum, and thank God I had it. Its a great cd to put on and let fill the space around you, not to FILL SPACE, but to add into the air of your surrounding... it has very cool imaging of story and rythm.. I dont know what more to say that I lost the cd and now allmost 6 years later Im gonna find it and get it again.
