Eight Gigs: Cashmere Cat

Becoming a household name requires stepping out of the shadows. Norwegian producer Cashmere Cat released a series of instrumental EPs through cult UK label Lucky Me, but it was his production on Kanye West’s “Wolves” that garnered the attention. Cashmere Cat is also responsible for Ludacris’ “Party Girls,” Charli XCX’s “Break The Rules” and Tinashe’s “All Hands On Deck.” The impressive run stimulated the momentum towards his full length debut 9, which features Selena Gomez and The Weeknd. Consider this the last time Cashmere Cat plays a venue smaller than an arena. 2708 J Street, http://cashmerecat.com
