He describes himself as a “forest cat” that loves making music, and he’s sending shivers down my spine all the way from Oslo, Norway. Magnus August Høiberg, or ‘Cashmere Cat’ has become an Internet sensation with a plethora of crazy remixes of everyone from Lana Del Ray to Jeremih to 2 Chainz. But just 8 days ago, he released a remix of Miguel’s “Do You…” which has already reached 180,000 plays on his Soundcloud. The song boasts of his efficient technical skills as a producer and DJ, while creating an eccentric and exciting blend of electronic, R&B, futuristic hip-hop, dance and bass music. So it’s no surprise he was VIBE music magazine’s #1 on a list of “25 Awesome Genre-Benders of 2012.” The bubblegum pop melody from the original song provides an intriguing introduction, scattered with hints of slowed down vocals and hissing electronic features before the song drops into a complex yet contained masterpiece of everything this incredible kitty cat producer can do. After the success of his 2012 debut EP ‘Maru Maru,” released under the Pelican Fly label, Cashmere Cat is definitely one to keep an eye out for.
