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.

From the moment my father would turn on the radio during my mother’s pregnancy, music has been an integral part of my life. Growing up in Queens, NY, I learned early on that creativity often flourishes in the face of challenges. While my parents kept my sister and me indoors for safety, my father nurtured my passion for music by teaching me the art of mixtape creation using vinyl, cassettes, and CDs from his extensive collection. This foundation ignited my journey into DJing at family gatherings, school events, and block parties from a young age.

In 2000, I moved to Dallas, TX, at the age of 12, where my father gifted me a music production program called "Acid Pro." This pivotal moment allowed me to explore mash-ups, remixes, and beat making, further refining my skills. Since then, I have gained recognition in the West Indian community for my numerous CD releases and innovative sound.

Today, I am a sought-after DJ, performing at various events, including Dallas' hottest venues, pop-up shops, celebrity gatherings, private parties, and Carnival fetes. My mission is to keep my audience engaged and dancing with fresh remixes, mash-ups, and updates on my upcoming gigs.

I am deeply grateful for the support of my fans—your enthusiasm fuels my passion for music.

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone...

In his late teen’s Dom spent weekends hosting pub‑discos & djing at parties whilst working as a graphic‑designer during the week. In 2015 Dom was encouraged to quit his day job to pursue his obsession with music and production.
