Polycat
As opposed to the uni concept in Unicat (of being ‘unified’, ‘joined together’) , Polycat is a compilation series takes the approach of divergence and variety. The divergence here lies in taking existing material from the Unicat catalogue and recycling/upcycling/demixing etc. to create something familiar but very much fresh and bumping at the same time.
