kev/null (Kevin Cheng) grew up trying to make mixtapes by overdubbing cassettes and blending tracks together. Today, he puts those ones and twos together for a variety of breakbeat, ghetto funk, future house, and chill house beats.

Whether it's in an basement club in Hong Kong at peak hour, sunset on a beach in Thailand, in a dusty whiteout on an art car shaped like a giant brain at Burning Man, or in a massive club sound system in San Francisco, his infectious energy and track selection sets the right mood and gets the the crowd moving.

He's a member of the San Francisco collective, The Space Cowboys, and had the fortune to share billing with artists such as Wes Smith, Stanton Warriors, A. Skillz, and Lee Burridge.

kev/null 420 Set Big Puffy Yellow 2022 - 02 - 12

I had the incredible honor of playing on the main stage of FnF this year at 10:45pm. The theme of this year's campout was, "Balls" so the set features a couple of original tracks I made to go along with the theme. Thanks so much to the coordinators, the volunteers, the music team, and all the amazing people for making the return to FnF such a joy. 

If you'd like to get the full (unreleased) "Balls" tracks, you can find them (and download AIFF to use) here:

kev/null Live at Friends 'n' Family XXIV (2022)

What an amazing experience Love Burn 2023 was. A highlight was definitely getting to play at The Freakeasy's Kitty Kat Island on Saturday night to an amazing crowd and in front of…an articulated giant cat that shoots lasers! LAZER CAT.

I also had the opportunity to play a lot of the original tracks I'd been working on for the past year including one I did the weekend before the Burn and another I wrote specifically for the Burn. I hope you enjoy this journey! It's got a little something for everyone.

kev/null - Qwerk Mix Series 011

Breakfast of Champions + It’s a New Day is always the best party of the year and I love the event because it’s indeed a new day and everyone is there full of optimism for a fresh start. It’s always an honor to play there and it was also my first time playing on the Mog, about a decade after dancing to DJs on the Mog inspired me to DJ! This set harkens back to some of the breaks roots and also features an original track on an EP that was recently released (https://kevnull.bandcamp.com/album/how-about-drums) I hope you enjoy it! -kev/null

Habitat Season 2 - AIRGLO support

What a huge honor to play my inaugural Reno Decompression set at my favorite venue, Dead Ringer Analog Bar. The entire event was fantastic with half a dozen stages, four bars, a ton of art cars, food trucks, performers, and vendors from 3pm until 6am all around Reno's Brewery District.

9PM on Saturday is early times for Reno but the dance floor filled up quick! Thank you to all that came to support. This set is a bit of a different vibe for me, with a flow of progressive house, melodic techno, indie dance, and maybe even some tech house. Yet somehow, as always happens, it still sounds like me. I hope you enjoy!

kev/null - Reno Decompression 2024 @ Dead Ringer Analog Bar

We're proud to be releasing it as part of the Now That's What I Call Bootlegs Vol. 11, a compilation of nearly 80 unique remixes and edits.
