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.

Hibrid was born in 1991 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and is a young producer in the realm of deep and experimental electronic music.

His first experience with electronic music was at the age of 16, and so far he played in all the biggest clubs in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Tilburg (Ne), Vienna (Au), Zagreb, Tisno (Movement Croatia), Split (Cro), Belgrade, Novi Sad (Serbia), Corfu (Gre) etc. Hibrid performed as a warm-up alongside many world-known artists such as Solomun, Aril Brikha, Silicon Soul, Jonas Saalbach, Franz Alice Stern, Metodi Hristov, Kristina Lalic etc.

He started to produce music in 2010 and has released his music on various labels worldwide and he continues to push the boundaries of art in his work.  Music that he makes is filled with deep elements and melodic sequences. His tracks "Baseskijina Samoca" and "Samo Sanjar" are a mixture of local poetry and electronic music that was well accepted by local audience, and therefore they are the best reference for his unique style. In 2015 he released two music videos for his track “Da li biti Normalan” and his remix for Croatian singer Sara Renar, called “Jesen”. During the 2016. he published remix of track “Moramo” of indie-rock band from Sarajevo, Billy Andol, and also free download EP “The Way Leonardo DiCaprio Smokes Cigarettes” in collaboration with music channels Nie Wieder Schlafen and Sweet Melodic.  In his newest release in 2017, Hibrid takes a more experimental approach to creating electronica and he released his first album called Izgubljeni (Lost) followed by two music videos. Album received great support and it was placed in TOP 10 releases on Beatport’s Downtempo and Electronica Charts. Also, he presented Bosnia and Herzegovina on Burn Residency 2017 at Ibiza. In 2018, he released two singles with music videos, Zemlja Spava (Featuring Ajla Ramic’s poetry) and Opet se nadam.
His unusual, experimental approach to making music led to him being lauded as one of the most talented producers on Balkans.

Right now, Hibrid is working on new live project in collaboration with guitar player Adnan Salihović. After working together on his previous album Izgubljeni, the duo continues to explore their collective musical imagination. Their new effort is a unique amalgam of electronic music and visceral guitar sounds made for dancers and listeners alike. For 2020 they are preparing new album, including 11 tracks.

In 2014 he started to run his own label called Submarine Vibes, which is one of the biggest label in country and region. The label grows with each passing day, the unique artists, good PR and interesting design helping it make its presence known on the international music scene.
