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.

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Music producer from Sweden.

Rix rappt, Rix schreibt auf Blatt Papier, Rix spielt mit Worten, Rix singt nach Gefühl, Rix reimt mit Silben. Rix wird im Alter von ca. 14 Jahren von der Subkultur HipHop erfasst und bis heute nicht mehr los gelassen. Ein intensives Hören und Hineinvertiefen in die Musik wecken den Wunsch, selbst zu schreiben. Inspiriert durch Gruppen und Künstler, wie Freundeskreis, den Massiven Tönen, Torch, den Fantastischen Vier, den Beginnern und anderen, entstehen erste Texte. Er teilt sich mit und reflektiert seine Umwelt. So wie andere Tagebuch schreiben, schreibt Rix über seinen Glauben, seine Gefühle, über Ängste, Banales, Alltägliches, Erweckliches, Positives wie Negatives – einfach über Dinge, die ihn bewegen. Auf Konzerten, deren Publikum aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten und Altersgruppen bestand, konnte er zum Zuhören und Nachdenken bewegen. Er sucht den Dialog zu seinem Publikum, allerdings nicht als Entertainer, sondern als Gegenüber. Frei nach dem Grundgedanken des HipHop, "Each one, Teach one", versucht er außerdem in Workshops, Jugendliche auf einen Streifzug von den Ursprüngen der HipHop-Kultur bis ins Hier und Heute mitzunehmen. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Ausdrucksformen, Grundelemente, sowie der gesellschaftliche Hintergrund thematisiert. Nach Jahren langen Wartens, folgt nun, das teilweise langersehnte, 7 Tracks starke Debüt Mixtape "Alter Scheiss", eine Retrospektive der letzten fast 15 Jahre, Text und Ton. Viel Vergnügen :)
