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.

Starting to buy vinyl in late 1993 and been an lover or all types of dance music from house to hardcore, garage to the next big thing.

Working hard to move up the ladder and into the club scene got my first break around 1997 playing in a very very strange club but was a wicked experience for me., then moving on to a DJ competition and a full time spot in a couple of local bars and clubs around the Bradford area like Milkbar, Mashed, Ivegate and more.

Then came the time to start producing music got my first track signed to DOD Rekords almost two years ago in 2012 and has moved on with many tracks to follow this up.

with great support for local and world wide DJ's im looking forward to what the future holds for me
