Biography
Biography
The name 'Gat Decor' was derived from an anagram of 'Tag Records', a record store based in Soho, London. Although Gat Decor does not have an extensive catalog (two proper singles and a handful of remixes), the act and "Passion" are widely considered influential to electronic dance music in the early 1990s; and Slater still continues to license "Passion".
