Felix da Housecat (born Felix Stallings in Chicago, Illinois) is a House music DJ and record producer. Felix is commonly regarded as a member of the second wave of Chicago house. He entered the dance music elite not only via his recordings (under a number of aliases, including Thee Maddkatt Courtship, Aphrohead and Sharkimaxx), but also for his ownership of Radikal Fear Records, one of the premiere Chicago labels of the 1990s.

Living in Chicago, a young Stallings was perfectly located to develop a keen interest in the emergent House music scene, which found its hub in Chicago. A chance introduction to House pioneer DJ Pierre in the mid-80s gave 15-year-old Stallings his break, and under the patronage and guidance of Pierre, he released his first single, "Phantasy Girl," in 1987.
