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.

Sound Signature: A symbol or icon defined by things heard. No sound is wrong. No sound is too elusive to escape arrangement, one's signature.

Sound Signature: An event, emotion, or feeling described by sound, but not limited to it. Expression given a direction. A focus through arrangement, our personal language at any given moment. No one can duplicate your signature, your mark, your life.

The difference between imitation and emulation is specific experience. No one else has walked your path, lived your vision.

There is no right or wrong way, only different ways as there are different people. We will learn reverence from each other through expressing our symbols, our hieroglyphs. This is my attempt to share mine.

Primarily Lost Souls of Saturn are Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa, plus further opaque participants. They congregate to combine music, new technologies, and storytelling into an inextricably linked whole, within an immersive and engaging audio-visual performance environment. 

Through LSOS, Troxler, Moffa et al. explore new ways to open doors of perception and challenge the ways we see our world, whilst marrying the prescient visions, political aspirations and psychedelic energy of science fiction and early rave culture, with postmodern philosophy and contemporary art.

Their eponymous critically acclaimed debut album, released on R&S records, is a multidimensional mind trip and combines flavours gathered from across the galaxy. Old sci-fi soundtracks, acid, free jazz, avant-garde, musique concrete, world music and more all whirl around an underground-dance-music axis.
 
Challenging the convention of ‘format’ in every sense, LSOS transmit via vinyl, digital, art installation, artefact, augmented reality app, and live performance, and via their sonic portal  'Holoverse Research Labs'.
