A regular to Australian shores, Meat Katie heads back down under in August for a national tour, this time to support the release of a new mix CD. Titled ‘Sessions’ and released on the UK arm of Ministry of Sound so if you want to track down a copy you’ll be able to get it on import. It sees him serving up his signature sound of tech, breaks, house and electro, and having done acclaimed mixes for Fabric and Bedrock in the past, it’s got people quite excited.
