Welcome to R Cat Records

with a fondness for Kate Bush, John Lennon, and Dennis Leary, R Cat Records, a Canadian independent record label, set up shop in Edmonton, Alberta, with nothing more than two suitcases, a collection of rare Kate Bush radio promos, and an unsigned copy of Richard Branson's 'Losing My Virginity'.

this record label, R Cat Records, soon became a “purveyor of excellence in independent music”, after releasing it’s first album “Obsecurity” by Adam Lastiwka in December 2005. the artist, whose sole purpose in life was to compose and produce magnificent soundtrack albums, was signed to the new label over a few coffees whereupon it was written: ‘please deliver some more albums and we’ll see what we can do.’

by August 2008, R Cat Records had released 11 albums and signed a major licensing deal with Warner Bros who chose a track from Adam’s first album for the new Ridley Scott ‘Body of Lies’ motion picture trailer featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. we were naturally shocked and stunned because it’s such a big thing for Adam, for R Cat Records, and for the Canadian Music Industry.

all we have to do now, is find more artists, and more big things!
