Kidnap is an artist whose music overflows with emotion - rich and powerfully evocative.

Recording in London, Kidnap (real name Matthew Relton) likens his process to that of a sculptor, starting with a block of sound and chopping away until a shape emerges. As such, each song exists ornately carved with a handcrafted subtly.

Still just 33, Relton is already something of an industry veteran. Releasing his first single in 2012 kicked off an eight-year stretch of global touring that came to a grinding halt when the pandemic put the world on pause.

2024 marks a new chapter for Kidnap, with his next body of work on the horizon. Set against the backdrop of a changing world and the arrival of a baby daughter, Relton offers a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time. ‘It’s about looking back on the last 12 years — the touring and the friends and the sleeplessness,” says Relton, “and realising that in order to embrace the life I have now, I need to let it all go.’ The music shimmers with nostalgia. Signature sad melodies dance deftly around commanding synth lines, altogether sounding like an artist with a new found sense of purpose.

Music producers from Midlands before rising to prominence in underground house, the Midlands-based beatsmaker was smashing the Bassline scene and bagged two number 1 chart spots on the BBC1 xtra charts knocking the mighty T2’s Heartbroken off the number 1 spot with his Nicole Groove remix. This hurled the Midlands producer into the top spot of the scene. Gracing labels like Rossi B & Luca (Ministry of Sound) label More 2 da Floor, Northern Line Records and Marcus Nasty’s We R Bass with the type of dancefloor pressure steeped in Northern, Niche-inspired bounce.
Releases on Brazilian label Tobus (Sammy W & Alex E from Cuff) Beatdown records (Sonny Fodera) , Sleepin is Cheatin (Tom Zanetti), Abyss Records ,House Entertainment Records, We R Bass, More 2 da floor, Northern Line Records, MFR, Eastside Records and Top Shelf Material Records , X5 Dubs seemingly churns out warehouse workouts every week.
X5 Dubs propagate a new approach to House music, which makes his sets fresh, original and unforgettable. Blending heavy bass tracks with smooth vocals has been one of the secrets behind his success.  X5 Dubs has fast became one of the most booked djs smashing sets in the U.K and abroad and gracing the stage at many a festival. 
When it comes to production, being able to balance the delicate with the dangerous is one of X5’s key strengths as a producer, as is his ability to pull samples from the most unexpected of places and completely switch it up. A technically skilled DJ and superior talent in the scene, we’re expecting X5 Dubs to terrorise clubs with his shuddering bass-house jams deep into next year, and the year after that…
