Kelp is the unsung hero, or perhaps the unsing hero..

"I wanna be the last word in neo-vaporwave-electro-funk, .. and the first.. well, I don't want to.. but they're forcing my hand"

If there's room in music for a lounge act fronted by an inch high, ethereal deep-sea diver with a preoccupation for vocoders, FM synthesis and bad midi; Kelp intends to fill it with the most garish of cutting edge, white elephant, Retrowave, elevator-jingles, now with added salsa.

This experiment into futuristic, holographic swing band inspired, island anti-pop hopes to sound like the illegitimate fusion of surrealist exotica horn-pipery and the distant whirring of some cosmic, Gregorian polka, leaking from a submerged, underwater cantina during El Niño.

Kelp, also known as Jordie Sunshine, is the Belfast, North of Ireland based, talk box yielding, experimental electronic and symphonic pop, HD bedroom producer and songster extraordinaire. Plucked from the void in the peak-plague days of 2020, Kelp has given us 13 singles and 3 EPs so far, with most notably ‘Lamentation’ and ‘Shady Palms’ making their way on to Tom Robinson's Mixtape on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Kelp's latest offering appeared in the form of a seminal live show in Belfast city center, considered to be a world's first in AR/VR live entertainment and electro-funk cover versions of the original 1987 'Fireman Sam' theme. Up next an animated film with the soundtrack doubling up as the debut album.

Doing it now. Slowly.

Executive Steve has the voice of an angel, the snake-hipped charm of a ballroom dancer, the soft and uncalloused hands of a kept man and the cold hard stare of a contract killer. Known to take the occasional sip of sherry, he enjoys long walks by the beach, quiet nights in, and all of the finer things in life. He is wanted by police in more countries than he can name, has a weakness for the kindness and the company of women, is a fearless ace pilot, a revolutionary, a noted wit, raconteur and citizen of the world. Women want him, men want to BE him. Executive Steve likes his basslines low, his strings sampled and his beats broken.

He has a great face for radio, and a radio show to prove it; catch him trainwrecking spanking fresh DnB every Wednesday evening on the Irish Dance Music Award-nominated "An Fuaim" show from 21.00 on Dublin's Raidio na Life 106.4FM live and legal as Gaeilge across the Greater Dublin area.
