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.

In the heart of Berlin, at the foot of the Kreuzberg, we founded Mother Recordings, a record label full of warmth, home to artists whose hearts beat for the true house and disco sound, full of passion and love for the music. We think a label should be more than the name on a cover. That is why the same sweat and lifeblood we leave in the clubs of Berlin, of Germany, and the rest of the world is now fueling Mother Recordings.

Our little family of ambitious music maniacs is standing at the beginning, innocent still in our infancy, ready to fearlessly set off on a big adventure. Why? Because we know she will be there for us, the mother, her arms wide open, offering protection – Mother Recordings stands behind us with this special mother's love that is made to last forever.

2018 also saw their debut vinyl release on Berlin based label Best Works Records run by Andre Lodemann & Daniel W Best, which includes a punchy edit from Andre himself and a monstrous remix from Berlin based producer Ruede Hagelstein which has been rocking many dance floors around the world with huge support from Dixon & Ame, owners of the highly respected Innervisions label. The duo have gained massive support locally and globally within the last 5 years with the likes of Dixon, Ame, Frankey & Sandrino, Mano le Tough, The Drifter, Job Jobse, Kris Davis and many more displaying their music on dance floors worldwide. 

Their collab with rising artist INVŌKER titled "This Can't Be It" came out late November, 2021 on Sum Over Histories a label run by Frankey & Sandrino.
