Kid Blue

"Kid Blue never fails to impress. As is the case with all the best DJs, he's able to draw on a real range of genres, and unlike many DJs out there he knows exactly how to construct the right set for the right time of night."  Elite Force

Starting out clubbing in his native Birmingham, the Kid quickly picked up on a whole range of music, being a regular at the city's house and techno clubs listening to Andrew Weatherall and Justin Robertson, as well as taking in the sounds at Nu-Tonic, Brum's legendary breaks and beats night where he first heard DJs such as Adam Freeland.

It's no surprise then that his sound is a melting pot of all these influences, when you hear him play you are as likely to hear Funk D'Void as you are Koma and Bones, Anthony Rother or D Ramirez.

Arriving in Leeds in 1997 to go to university, he quickly started putting on warehouse parties with mates. These proved so popular they turned into Technique, which has gone on to host parties in Barcelona, Tokyo and London.

He has DJd alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music - Derrick May, Adam Freeland, Michael Mayer, Mr Scruff, Plump DJs and Richie Hawtin to name a few.

Guest slots at clubs such as Tribal Sessions, Hum, Playtime, Platform 12, Urban Gorilla and Tangled in the UK, have been accompanied by a growing reputation abroad – he has played in Hungary, Dubai, the USA, Spain, Germany, Georgia and even Malawi in the past twelve months.

With collaborations with Fat! label mate Merka in the pipeline, more remixes for a variety of labels and solo work due for release on Fat in 2008, as well as his continuing residencies at Chew The Fat! and Technique, Kid Blue’s reputation as one of the most exciting acts around continues to grow.
