Charles Mingus was an American jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and civil rights activist. Born on April 22, 1922 in Nogales, Arizona, USA, he was a forerunner in double bass technique and pioneered innovative studio techniques such as overdubbing and tape cutting. Mingus also authored the autobiographical novel "Beneath The Underdog". He passed away at the age of 56 on January 5, 1979 in Cuernavaca, Mexico due to Lou Gehrig's disease.

Fat Cat is an electronica, noise, and post-rock label based in Brighton, UK. Originally a record shop in the early '90s, the label was established when the shop closed down in 1997 with support from [l311].

Renowned for their distinctive series of releases such as the "7" Series", "10" Series", "12" Series", "Splinter Series", "Remix Series", and "E-RMX Series," Fat Cat has left a significant mark on the music industry. For more instrumental orchestral-type releases, they also operate a sublabel called [l=130701], named after its inception date: 13 July 2001.

With numerous notable artists under their belt, Fat Cat Records continues to be at the forefront of cutting-edge music production and distribution.
