When Katalyst plays, her sets channel a deep and dark underground techy vibe, with a healthy sprinkling of ragga and jungle sounds. Masterful mixing and a potent collection of signature double drops give her sets an impact that dominates any dancefloor they hit. 

Katalyst grew up on a diet of rock, metal and ska whilst taking her first steps into a life intertwined with music as she learned to play the piano, drums, violin, guitar and the clarinet. This musical journey took an unexpected detour in 2003 though when she heard Andy C’s first nightlife compilation and fell in love with Hive’s classic track ‘Neo’. Its raw and heavy sound bridged the gap between her musical past and the world of dance music. From there she was hooked and spent her weekends trawling through raves such as Dillinja and Lemon D’s seminal Valve Soundsystem nights with a fake ID and dancing the night away at free parties. 

A few years later, after picking up her first set of decks and honing her craft for her own enjoyment, she was asked to cover a set after another DJ dropped out. This turned out to be the first step on a DJ career that has taken her much further than she ever expected. 

Now, years later, she’s exceeded all her own expectations, headlining events in her home city and further afield, also holding down a role in A&R for Bristols Noxious Records. Katalyst has 3 Bristol residencies including the legendary Rumble In The Jungle, Charlie Brix’s Shotgun Sessions and StackedOut Events. The powerhouse claims other residencies over the UK with Rawdio, Static Hi-Fi, Road Runnaz and Rinse Oxford alongside massive sets at King’s of The Rollers’ Royal Rumble, Nass Festival, Nozstock, Illusive and Wonderfields are just a sample of some of the parties that have been blown away by the Katalyst treatment. Meanwhile, working her way up to headline slots and having shared the stage with some of the scene’s finest including DJ Storm, Andy C, Dillinja, Kings of The Rollers, Born On Road, DLR, Saxxon, Bryan G, Jumpin Jack Frost and T>I. Katalyst has proven she can handle her own and stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of the best. 

But, she doesn’t stop there! Katalyst has been an unstoppable force during ‘lockdown’ taking over our airways with weekly live streams. She’s participated in playing sets for the Stay at Home Festivals and InnerSoul Houseparty and also recently showcased her talent on Oxfordshire’s #1 radio station Jack FM with a minimix for Jackfest 2020.

Today we bring Katalyst to our Renegade Riddims mix series with a whomping mix consisting of 91 tracks which includes some of her all time favourite tracks from the likes of Bladerunner, Saxxon, Shy FX, Serum, Levela, John B, Jam Thieves, Phibes and loads more!
