It’s a blend of everything that Kid Fonque is loved for: broken beats, house, jazziness and a hint of hip hop.  An elegant piano loop dances on a warm bass drum - then a bass melody creeps in.  Now we’re on the dancefloor.  Clever, intricate percussive elements evoke the hum of a smoky Jazz club - hands clap and hi-hats snap.  Just when you think this groove has reached its final destination – The Layders’ king of keys - ‘V The Vowel’ lays down an infectious melody and  the script is flipped.  The cherry on top?  Theo Parrish talking you through his DJ philosophy.  It’s fresh and full of surprises - your new favourite tune has arrived.

Already has support from Gilles Peterson, Osunlade and Atjazz.

Allan Nicoll's Album

Built A House Vol.2

Kid Fonque has become a vital part of South African electronic music
and club culture over the last 20 years. Uniquely accomplished in
both influence and scope, he is an over-achiever in every one of his
roles; DJ, Producer, Label Owner, Promoter and recently, Radio
Host.
Kid Fonque’s talent is the type that refuses to acknowledge boundaries of any kind – be they genres or borders. The respect he is paid by the industry, is a result of his no compromise attitude to playing and making music.
Rather than following trends, Kid Fonque has always done things his own way. Importantly, every record he reaches for bares all the hallmarks of the Kid Fonque sound - a golden thread that ties all his sets together. Like a painter dabbing his brush into different hues, Fonque’s palette embraces everything from Broken Beats to Bossa Nova, Hip Hop and every shade of House. With this open-minded approach, Fonque has been deconstructing dance floors locally and abroad for well over a decade.
The time has finally come to unveil his debut album ‘I Move To A Different Beat’ showcasing his love for all things musical. Teaming up with a handful of artists to help him bring his sound to life, namely, UK’s TY, LyricL, Jonny Miller, and South Africa’s Ziyon, Card On Spokes, Sio & Deav Martian,
Kid Fonque’s sonic adventures continue to fill dance floors and thrill
earholes worldwide.

KID FONQUE, CUEBUR, ANDY BOI, JONNY MILLER & OKMALUMKOOLKAT - USANGIKHUMBULA

Kid Fonque has become a vital part of South African electronic music and club culture over the last 20 years. Uniquely accomplished in both influence and scope, he is an over-achiever in every one of his roles; DJ, Producer Label Owner, promoter and more recently, Radio Presenter.

Firmly established as a tastemaker in South Africa, Kid Fonque’s influence can be felt and heard in the music of the many artists he has helped nurture with his role as label manager of Africa’s seminal dance label Soul Candi Records and now his new venture with Jullian Gomes in their new label Stay True Sounds.

Kid Fonque’s talent is the type that refuses to acknowledge boundaries of any kind – be they genres or borders. The respect he is paid by the industry is a result of his no compromise attitude to playing and making music. Rather than following trends, Kid Fonque has always done things his own way. Importantly, every record he reaches for bares all the hallmarks of the Kid Fonque sound - a golden thread that ties all his sets together somehow. 

Like a painter dabbing his brush into different hues, Fonque’s palette embraces everything from bass and broken beats to bossa nova, hip hop and every shade of house - and with this open-minded approach, he’s been deconstructing dancefloors at home and abroad for well over a decade. Over the last couple years he’s played dates in Hong Kong, Dubai, the UK and Switzerland.

Kid Fonque has just recently started his own radio show called Selective Styles on South Africa’s very own 5FM.  Selective Styles has given Kid the platform to showcase the hidden talent from all over South Africa electronic, house, soul & Hip Hop Community while delving into international releases weekly.

In 2011, Kid Fonque launched his long-running monthly night, #2SIDESOFTHEBEAT as a platform to showcase underground music from all genres at the same venue. Dubstep and house rubs shoulders with hip hop, broken beat and everything in between. Kid Fonque handpicks the line-up which has seen esteemed musos like Dego, King Britt, Swindle, Mala, Nightmares On Wax, Zaki Ibrahim and local stars like Jullian Gomes, Cuebur, Kenzhero and The Brother Moves On all on one stage.

In 2014 Kid Fonque moved into the producer’s chair and released his critically acclaimed debut artist album Kid Fonque and Friends and a string of remixes. 

Two singles from the album “BE”, “Usangikhumbula” and a recent collaboration with D-Malice “All This Time” did serious damage in the charts – all claiming the number 1 spot on the YFM Urban Top 20. His recent studio output has paired him with luminaries like Clara Hill, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Nia Andrews, Jonny Miller,  Kev Brown, Okmalumkoolkat and Atjazz. 

2016 has been music as usual and the year started with a Boiler Room set where he was asked to represent his newfound label ‘Stay True Sounds’ and got to share the platform with label partner Jullian Gomes with a back-to-back set recorded and played in Cape Town’s Langa.

2017 sees plenty of new projects on the horizon for Fonque including a full length collaboration with UK’s D-Malice under the alias rkls due for release on r2 London which features a rich and varied cast of artists including Kev Brown, Melo B Jones, Sio, John Robinson and many more.

Whether he’s behind the decks, running Stay True Sounds, preparing for his weekly radio show or in studio making otherworldly music, Kid Fonque’s sonic adventures continue to fill dance floors and thrill earholes, pay attention!
