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.

The DJ/Producer REGARD garnered global attention with his debut single ‘RIDE IT’ which became an international hit, taking the internet and TikTok by storm and quickly followed it up with his second hit single ‘SECRETS’ featuring South London singer RAYE. He has gone on to achieve over 10X TOP 10 single chart placements globally. In the UK, ‘RIDE IT’ has sold over 1 MILLION records to date (2x Platinum), while ‘SECRETS’ was recently certified Platinum. Latest single ‘YOU’ achieved 245 million streams, #1 TikTok sound in UK and is the longest running #1 on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, plus saw REGARD perform on Jimmy Fallon. REGARD has had THREE #1 US Dance Airplay hits, amassed 5.2 BILLION combined streams & 20 MILLION worldwide sales.
