DJ, producer, and breakbeat aficionado Eddy Kennedy AKA Kessler, made the jump from Belfast to Rotterdam in pursuit of a fresh challenge in 2020. Little did he know that the challenge would be a global pandemic to rock his (and everyone’s) world.

Born and raised in Belfast, Kennedy is known for his club nights Footwork which has seen him curate line-ups within the realm of electro, breaks & bass-driven techno across dance floors in the UK and Europe. Something of a homegrown hero, he has previously performed at AVA, Shine and Twitch in Belfast, held a residency with Manchester-based Limbo Radio as well as releasing high-energy music that tap deep into the traditions of UK bass culture for Belfast’s Born Sleepy record label and a string of heads down EPs on imprints like Shall Not Fade and Club Glow in the past year. 

Most recently Kessler has been getting in touch with exploring his new home and what it has to offer, with an EP scheduled to drop on Desert Sound Colony’s eyes down Holding Hands label ahead of his Boiler Room debut at AVA this September, the future is looking bright for Kessler. We caught up with him ahead of his homecoming, he has provided us with a typically bumping mix that presents a window into his musical world. Check out the full interview on our website:

Hide and Seek (Where's G Refix)

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek (Where's G Refix)

picking up things from the last episode i welcome the uber talented dj, producer & MC SusTrapperazzi!

when i first heard his ilian tape debut on their beat series last year i was instantly hooked on the UK Rap/Drill sound that he has carefully perfected!

through his djing he has seen himself dj for some of the biggest names in the UK grime scene with the likes of novelist, skepta and more!

he’s also not afraid to pick up the microphone and spit aswell, as seen with his balamii freestyle track & sets on kindred radio. The Balamii Freestyle quickly blew up across the internet with quick fire flows and bars which then seen a full release later down the line!

for my half i went with an hour of UK drill tracks i’ve been feeling for a long while with artists like KO, A92, C12, Graft & more with some of Sus’ work sprinkled throughout!

Sus went with a mix filled with some of his own productions and a lot of UK sounds thrown in throughout with effortless mixing and blends!

enjoy!
