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.

Attending piano lessons at the age of 6 and playing Mozart with a German philharmonic orchestra when he was 11 simply meant that Alan Morris was passionate about music from a very early age! 
He successfully participated in several music contests and played violin, viola and organ as part of his education. His all round musical journey continued when in 2005 he became the choirmaster of a gospel choir all that while still performing as pianist, organist & accompanist all around in concerts, art exhibits and live gigs regularly. 

Back in 2000 Alan discovered Electronic music as part of his musical journey and now with over a 150 releases (original and remixes) he managed to establish his own unique sound blending ambitious and complex arrangements and slamming Trance productions. 
Living his dream Alan Morris has released his music on labels such as Armada Music, FSOE, Protocol, Enhanced, Revealed, Amsterdam Trance, Flashover, Grotesque, Outburst, Pure Trance, High Contrast, Afterglow, Monster Tunes, Tytanium and many others as well as his very own Transistic Records.

With support from Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, W&W, Dash Berlin, Paul van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, John O'Callaghan, Solarstone, Sean Tyas, Tritonal, Paul Oakenfold and many more Alan launched his own DJ career playing all around the globe: Ibiza, China, Argentina, England, the Netherlands, Germany and many more playing to crowds in events such as Nature One, FSOE 450 & Luminosity Beach Festival. 

Now with his own Vengeance sample CDs and Nexus² sound expansions, successfully running his own label, a long run of Beatport Top Ten hits under his belt, producing pretty much every genre out there: House, Chillout, Techno, Orchestral, HipHop, EDM, Soundtrack and more, Alan Morris proves he can do it all. Something to be said for absolute hearing!    (March 2018)

Wayne Smart is widely regarded as one of the most promising and versatile artists to emerge from the harder end of the scene in the last five years. He is better known for the seamless mixing and relentless late sets that he has unleashed on crowds at London's mighty Frantic, where he not only is a resident, but Co-Label Manager. 
Wayne also manages Encoded and is a resident for Vamp, Premonition and Concept.

From the launch of his first major success, the huge collaboration with Phatt Beats and Defective Audio, 'Death Warrant' - which appeared in countless DJ top tens' and went straight into the Toolbox store top five best sellers upon its opening where it has remained to this day; Wayne has gone from strength to strength and has excelled massively in his DJ career over the last few years. This is mostly due to him turning his focus to producing a vast range of high quality tracks that span from Hardhouse to Hard Trance under his own name and under his aliases, DDT and The Pandemics.

Not only are his own tracks synonymous with the harder, driving sound of Hardhouse, but Wayne has also worked with some of the most influential producers in the scene, including BK, James Nardi, Dom Sweeten (Defective Audio, Base Graffiti, OD404) and Dave Owens (Munkjack, Curve Pusher, D.F.O), all of whom he has Top 10 releases with, most recently with Disturbed Nation's brother from another mother, James Nardi with their collab and 100th Twist Trax release, 'Eternally'.

His gigs to date include: Tour Of NZ & OZ, Frantic, Awsum, Xstatic, Twist, Tasty, Hi Oktane, Tidy Weekender, Vamp, Hook'd, Concept, Convergence, Glow Ball and with events planned for nearly every weekend this year, it's easy to see that Wayne Smart is one of the most in demand artists at the moment.

Quote By Lucy Fur:
Wayne's energetic sets, pitch perfect mixing and driving sound has made him in my top 3 DJ's of the past 5 years. I never missed a Smartie set at home ever. His technical ability to mix is literally like the turntables are an extention of his arms. And we love the POP! That pop. I have played many times b2b with Wayne and all have been so enjoyable x Every production he does is my favourite type of HH. Label manager and resident for both Encoded NRG and Frantic UK have seen him play some of the biggest stages at home. Some of my fav ever sets at the Tidy Weekenders have been Wayne's. Tune after tune, 'Frantic', 'Bad To The Bone', 'ibass' and remixes like '999 Matrix Red Pill' and 'Beat Of The Drum' have been hammered by all the biggest names in the industry and appeared on countless albums. Wayne's 'It's My Pussy' I have decided is my favourite HH tune EVER. I could go on and on, but will leave it there! Absolutely made up this is happening! Love you Smartie xx
