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.

I am THEA, a medicine singer, multi-instrumental musician and producer from Germany. I am passionate about harmonies and simple, repetitive melodies, that touch the heart and allow for space to dive deep. Inspired by club sounds, classical and jazz music, as well as ancient medicine songs from various cultures, I am on my path of exploring and developing my own musical language.

Simple and powerful messages are my mission. Through my voice my soul tries to reach Yours, inviting to discover the infinite world within Yourself and guiding You back to the inner place that is still, that knows.

During over 13 years of his musical involvement, from the Norwegian Fjord Rave, underground Tokyo venues, through the legendary Berlin Tresor, best polish clubs, to finally the Amazon Jungle and the Sacred Valley of Peru, as one of the very few in the world, he managed to avoid genre labeling and shared the line up with different artists like MOSE, Ape Chimba, Rodrigo Gallardo, Janax Pacha, Laboratorium Pieśni, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Flume, Teebs, Lapalux, Low Leaf and many more. He brought his plant medicine music selection to Ecstatic Dance Sessions in London, Berlin, Romania, Greece, Poland, Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico.  

Nowadays he focuses on rising collective consciousness, producing ritualistic sounds, djing and designing mystical experiences in Peru. In the Amazon Jungle he created an online educational donation based course called 'The Alchemy of Self' and evolved it into a spiritual retreat design agency. He was invited to co-create the McKenna Academy, a modern mystery school of natural philosophy carrying the work and legacy of Terence and Dennis McKenna.
