Over most of the last decade Ashley Anderson aka Katalyst has slowly built a reputation for expert tweaking and lush arrangements. From his early beginnings alongside Illpickl, under the moniker of Moonrock, through to appearances on the Café Del Mar compilations and remixes of prominent hip hop acts, Anderson finally created the opus that fuses experience with his obvious skills: Manipulating Agent. The album has been lauded by critics and gobbled up by a local market, hungry for high quality local hip hop. With his recent victories at the 2002 Dance Music Awards (Best producer and Best Album) Katalyst is the hottest ticket in town and could be one of the first commercial success stories for Australian hip hop; a long overdue development for our amazing local scene. This album not only proudly stands alongside international releases, it ‘raises the bar’ and challenges the world’s best producers to meet this standard. Very tasty indeed.
