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.

Sun-El Musician is not just a Dj, His music sound will take you to an amazing bliss and leaving you feeling reinvigorated. Sun El’s approach to production is unbound by genre. He has applied himself and embraced the gift that was afforded to him.


Sun-El’s ability has produced various songs for the Songbird Bucie’s (Shela, Indukenhle, Mid-night and Hard to get) .He also co-produced the award winning hit “Shela” which landed Bucie a Metro Fm award. He has produced for various artists among others Demor, Zakes Bantwini, Shota and Thiwe.

Musician, producer, DJ, and music enthusiast alike, Sun-El hails out of Mooiriver, KwaZulu Natal. When not performing, he spends his time in the studio creating his own music… aided by over a decade of working in studio and an upbringing in a very musically influenced home. Sun El ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

Having spent many years signed under Demor Music as a producer and Bucie's stage dj producing well known songs and playing both locally and international night clubs alongside local hard-hitters and national acts alike), Sun-El has overtime developed his signature sound. For him, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove…producing and playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realising it, regardless of genre, tempo, style. Don’t be surprised when you suddenly find yourself dancing.
