Parisian electronic music diva, Miss Kittin, will release her second solo record titled ‘BatBox’ on the Nobody’s Bizzness label early this year. This anticipated record follows her 2004 solo debut, ‘I COM’.
Miss Kittin has always had a gothic touch and ‘Batbox’ might be the darkest record yet, but the record still has a surprising undercurrent of optimism. The artist explains ‘Batbox’ like this:
BatBox is a redemption. Let the bats in my head fly out. I was saying goodbye to old ghosts, allowing light to reduce the shadows and fight the dark. It was like opening a window on new perceptions, not with my eyes but through intuition, just like bats and cats do.
‘BatBox’ has quickly become one of my favorite records for the new year and I don’t see it leaving rotation any time soon. Standout tracks include the first single, ‘Kittin is High’ which also carries a 1-2 punch of fantastic B-Sides by Norwegian remixer Black Labelle and East London doll JoJo De Freq. I’ve also found the tune, ‘Barefoot Tonight’ utterly infectious.

Of course before, inbetween and always, Miss Kittin has recorded alongside verious partner including The Hacker, Golden Boy, and Felix Da Housecat, as well as releasing several DJ mixes albums—many of which you can familiarize yourself with at Amazon.
The aforementioned collaborations have resulted in some of my very favorite records. Here’s the cream to fall in love with, if you haven’t already had the pleasure:
MP3: Golden Boy with Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin
MP3: Miss Kittin and The Hacker - Frank Sinatra
MP3: Felix Da Housecat - Silver Screen Shower Scene (feat. Miss Kittin) (Static Revenger Mix)
The Felix Da Housecat track above was just right—but I hit you with the remix that makes things just a little crazier—it comes from one of Felix’s peers, North Hollywood’s disco house veteran Static Revenger. That track resides on the ‘Madame Hollywood / Shower Scene’ remix EP alongside remixes from Adult., Ladytron, Jacques Lu Cont and others. It came out in 2002 and it’s OOP (out of print) but worth seeking out (just like the rest of the lot above, wink wink).
Miss Kittin on MySpace or her official site, Kittininabox.com.
And, guess what, even more Miss Kittin in the archives.

is there something goin on with your servers? I can’t get any of these files to play or download . . . .
it took about 5 minutes for the dl to start, but it’s still working. maybe they switched to a server in iceland..
Ha, no, didn’t switch to an Icelandic server, our hosting company took the mp3 server down for about 30 minutes for scheduled maintenance. The downloads should be all good for everyone now.
Unfortunately still can’t seem to download or play songs.
Hmm… I tested all the links when I made the post and they do work. So, it’s probably the traffic spike we get from all the streaming during the early part of the day (EST-PST). I’ll see what I can do… :\
Out of all the remixes for silver screen the static revenger mix is still my fave. WE LOVE 2001!
miss kittin’s not a parisian electronic diva; she’s come from Grenoble capital of alpes in south east
You were right- just the traffic spike. Great tracks! Thanks for putting them up!
@ silky:
That may be true, but she’s reppin’ Paris now.
I’m still having trouble playing the tracks. They seem to download, but it just shows “Buffering” and doesn’t play.
And as soon as I post that, it works… gaah.
@bumps: isn’t she residing in Berlin anymore? she was around the time of I Com, which is on my all time electro top ten.
Meet Sue Be She is still the shit! And this sounds promising!
Tracks do not play. It’s probably the recent flash update. Your website is broken. Please fix it.
The Felix Da Housecat track is killer, keep it up.
