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.

DJ STIVS - Mashing up the dance with a badman blend of jungle, raggatek and breakcore. A true giant of the underground dance scene, Stivs is a founding member of the infamous Life4Land Sound as well as several independent record labels. As one third of bass-terrorist trio The D.S.C., Stivs has been steadily hacking away at the rave scene for over a decade, lumping speakers across muddy fields, inhabiting warehouses for one night and one night only, and playing dirty ragga-jungle, breakcore and raggatek to jumping party people across the globe, entertaining ravers at clubs, Teknivals, raves and festivals since the year 2000.

DJ Stivs, AKA Finn O’Rourke, started producing in 2003 and, having been raised on amens since his early teens, soon developed a particular talent for hardcore, ragga and dancehall-influenced jungle. Learning his way round Logic and Ableton alongside his Life4Land brethren, he followed closely in the footsteps of legends like Remarc, Lemon D and Ray Keith and was soon applying cutting-edge production techniques to the sounds of his youth, pioneering a brand-new breed of old school and staking his claim to a chapter in the Jungle book..

He brings these skills to the D.S.C’s table in abundance, creating soundclash-inspired dubstep, jungle and techno alongside fellow Life4Land founders Ed Cox and Scion. They regularly work with top ragga vocalists like Daddy Freddy, Murray Man, Demolition Man and Deadly Hunter, as well as collaborating with producers such as Freddy Frog, Ghost, M.D.S., Kelvine 373 and Scamp. On the back of his UK successes, Stivs has toured all over Europe, appearing in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Lithuania, as well as executing a quick sweep of the southern hemisphere taking in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In 2010 Stivs and Junglefever co-founded Bomba Cut Recordings, a label dedicated to extreme soundclash-based ragga-junglecore mashups where they can really flex some amen muscle, releasing the dirtiest rasclart beats they can possibly cut to vinyl. However, at the other end of the spectrum he is also heavily involved with Born On Road, a vocally-driven bass-music label unfettered by tempo or style restrictions, where artists are free to explore musical boundaries and span genres including dancehall, dubstep, bashment, breakbeat, reggae and Jungle. Established in 2013 Born On Road is intent on pushing raw emerging talent alongside industry heavyweights such as MC Navigator, David Boomah, Buggsy and Eva Lazarus. He has also programmed festival stages and dance arenas as well as starting his own internet radio station, Site B Radio, where he DJs alongside his Life4Land stablemates as well as an ever-expanding roster of guest DJs. Despite all this extra-curricular activity Stivs is still mashing up the dance week-in week-out in his hometown of Bristol and beyond, gigging regularly all over the UK and Europe. Whether it’s an all-vinyl journey through the jungle ages or an up to-the minute digital set trialling his freshest productions on a crowd, Stivs never fails to create a euphoric auditory journey through bass music and amen breaks. Stivs currently divides his time between his label-related obligations, smacking dancefloors across the UK and Europe, and pushing his production skills to the limit .

Shane Hope AKA ‘Audiomission’ has been one of the shining stars in the contemporary underground Jungle and Drum & Bass scene. Hailing from Bristol, D&Bs spiritual homeland, Audiomission started through attendance of a number of illegal raves to see him develop from a wicked selecta’, to a refined and established producer, until achieving his trademark sound that he is so accredited for. As a key member of GYRO Soundsystem with partner Mixamitosis, he alongside his fellow Gyro Records comrades (including Seyms, Pull Up Collective & Subcriminal) have recently evolved to now run a record label alongside the soundsystem. With their focus on pushing a uniquely distinctive hybrid between the D&B and Dubwize/Jungle sound that Bristol is famed for, this incorporation of Roots and Dub influences alongside cutting edge  D&B styles, has created a uniquely distinctive and rolling sound. One that is upfront and feisty, yet feel good! Audiomission can now stand by releases on Dope Ammo, Deep In the Jungle, Run Tingz, Intrigue, Ghetto Dub and the world renowned Ragga D&B label ‘Serial Killaz’. The latter of which has recently received incredible support from world renowned DJs such as: Aphrodite, DJ Hype, Rockwell, Phantasy and Psychofreud. His fiercely unique production and tight selection has seen him earn his stripes in the worlds of DJing and production. Few DJ’s as budding in their career as Audiomission can claim to have played alongside so many artists, featuring legendary D&B names such as: Dillinja, Grooverider, Potential Batboy, Ray Keith, DLR, Rat Pack, Ragga Twins, Randall, Serum, Benny Page, Bladerunner, Nicky Blackmarket and many more! At just 26 years old, what has already been an incredibly successful journey into the world of Jungle and D&B, he is no doubt set to skyrocket with the recent success of his ''420 EP'' on ‘Serial Killaz’. If you love good vibes and rolling basslines, look no further. You’d be very much missing out not to keep both eyes and ears on this gifted producer and DJ, who will no doubt be coming to shell down a venue near you in the future.
