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.

A label founded and curated by Above & Beyond.

Passionate organizers of audiovisual dance experiences. Enjoy the music!

I'm a soulful DJ with 15 years of experience. There's nothing I enjoy more than sharing my deep respect for the craftsmanship and artistry that all musicians strive to deliver to their fans. My performance bridges the pulsating rhythms of club and disco music with a deep, electronic spiritual sound. It's a journey that intertwines the rich, diverse textures of world music with the improvisational, free-flowing energy of jazz. 

I take inspiration from DJs like Luke Una, Giles Peterson, Ron Trent, Masters At Work, and Moodymann. My sets bring listeners together in a space where cultures, diversity, and genres converge, exploring the sacred, the ancient, and the future—all while maintaining an infectious rhythm at its core.
