A music production company
featuring a roster of eight artists. Hailing from Reading, England
our sound infuses the bass-led heaviness of the underground
scene with the finesse and refinement of live instruments and
vocals. With the help of some very talented
artists we aim to forge something fresh and innovative that anyone
can enjoy.
The artists that call The Catch their home, while impressive
musicians in their own right, have something in common that binds
them together; they are united in their belief in the power of
words and sound as a force for truth and social change.
“Black White or Asian, this is a Much Love Occasion",
announced The Catch's Deadly Hunta to an enthusiastic
FREEDM Studio as he kicked off 1Xtra's 'Word, Sound, Power' night.
Hunta's positive, conscious lyrics carried an anti-drug, anti-violence,
anti-racist message over an infectious, juicy mix of roots reggae,
funk and hip-hop which soon had the audience eating out of the
palm of his hand.”
The Performers
Prash Mistry aka Engine-EarZ - Producer / Keyboards
Prash together with DJ Luxy had the idea that turned into Catch 22 Music in 2002. Prash was brought up listening to Indian classical music, and its influence often shines through in his work. He started off his professional career doing live Drum and Bass live PA’s Prodigy-Style 10 years ago and progressed from there into a producing and performing a variety of different musics. 5 years on and Catch 22 Music has a roster of talented artists, as well as having composed music for feature films and releasing his own tracks.

Paul’s skills on the guitar are undeniable and add real
depth to the songs when performed live.

band, DJ Hoopa is a well seasoned scratch artist. He has performed
