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.

Mick Willow, an international house DJ and mixing and mastering engineer currently based in Dubai, known for high-energy sets, precision mixing and a unique style shaped early on by influences like Erick Morillo and Eric Prydz. With over 20 years of DJ experience, I’ve built a career that has taken me across the UK, Europe, USA, The Middle East and beyond.

I’ve proudly shared lineups with some of the biggest DJs in the world, including Sonny Fodera, MK, PAWSA and many more, and booked globally for major brands, festivals, restaurants and clubs across the World.

My sets are built around live editing, on-the-fly remixing and fast, dynamic transitions that keep the energy high and the crowd locked in. My end-of-year megamix series on SoundCloud now draws over 90,000 monthly listeners, and many of my personal edits and mashups have become essential tools for DJs worldwide. Recently my track ‘House Every Weekend’ has been supported by Marco Carola, Franky Rizardo and Cloonee to name a few. 

Alongside DJing, I produce under several aliases. I release Tech House under my own name, Mick Willow, and Melodic House under ChangedFaces, with releases signed to respected labels. Throughout the years I have also produced as Michael Mandal, Mandal & Forbes and Codera, with music signed to Sola, Armada, New State, 3Beat, Get Twisted, CR2 and Mark Knight’s Toolroom. My full discography is available on streaming platforms. 

I currently hold residencies in Dubai, Marbella and Ibiza, as well as at major UK events. I’ve performed at globally recognised festivals. Alongside playing on worldclass line-ups, regular interviews, features and guest mixes on national UK radio have helped secure my place within the house music scene.
