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.

Lukan is the behind-the-decks moniker of Nakul Mehan. Based in Mumbai, he also spearheads the India wide Oscillate party series. 

Following releases on Romanian imprint Eleonor Records, Lukan put out a string of Free Downloads that gained support from the likes of Posthuman, James Zabiela, Paco Osuna, Sidney Charles, Riva Starr, Moodymanc, Boxia, Kiss FM & Ibiza Sonica Radio. In 2017, Lukan's bootleg of Bonobo's 'Break Apart' was placed at no. 20 in XLR8R's Most Downloaded charts for the year. This was tailgated by well-received podcasts on respected platforms like Deep House London, Data Transmission, DMC World, When We Dip, Faze Magazine & Kaltblut Magazine(VICE). 

Having lined up an arsenal of records due for release in 2019, Lukan shifts his focus from the studio to the DJ booth. With recent performances in the Indian cities of Mumbai, Goa, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Nasik, Jaipur & Lucknow besides prior shows across the UK & Dubai, Lukan is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

Sam Wilde is a Leeds based Singer/songwriter.
His songwriting harks back to a style that was mastered by British bands in the 90s, showing the influence of his time growing up in Manchester, but is modernised by the rugged personality of his voice and strikingly delivered lyricism. The result is a sound that is finely poised between Britpop and Indie Rock with gentle hints of Blues root – all tied together with a dazzling pop sensibility. A clear instrumental proficiency gilds his tracks with unpredictability. But most of all, every note and every word is infused with an inimitable passion, his voice occupying a special space between a tender whisper and a savage roar.
