HouseCat is a dance record that speaks to the beauty of aging, the importance of rest, and the power of intention. Rooted in the rich history of electronic music and informed by personal reflection, HouseCat is both a creative exploration and an invitation to reimagine what dance music can be. This album is Catherine Elizabeth’s next evolution as an artist, blending her signature soulful, experimental jazzy sound with themes of solitude, self-reflection, and joy. It is well known that dance music is more than movement and play —it is a tool for healing and transformation and this record will expand on that concept.

As the project takes shape, it will honor the rich cultural landscapes of electronic music while offering a fresh perspective on its possibilities. It will be a sonic journey that balances reflection with rhythm, solitude with connection, and nostalgia with innovation.

Join Catherine Elizabeth as she builds this world, one beat at a time.
