Wildkats

Wildkats formed in East London in summer 2010, bringing Edinburgh DJs Stuart Sandeman and Scott Dickie together with American producer Corey Baker. Their early sound drew on 1980s funk and New York disco, combining groove-led house with dubby disco and a pronounced bassline identity.

Sandeman and Dickie's partnership predated the collective: friends from Edinburgh, they began DJing together after moving to London and became residents at East End party You Are We. Wildkats productions subsequently appeared on Lower East and Hot Creations, with “System Crank,” made with Russ Yallop, among their early Hot Creations work.
