BEATZ & BOBZ present KIDDA,

Event information

Music producer, DJ, remixer, songwriter, animator, director, columnist, graphic artist. Kidda is hard to pigeon hole but the word “artist” kind of works best as a cover all for his creative output.

Kidda‘s recording career started with some underground releases on Brighton labels Catskills and Puma Strut but it wasn’t until his debut album entitled “Going Up” was released by Skint records in the summer of 2008 that it felt like that he’d finally arrived. “Going Up” was made the Album of the Month in DJ magazine, the Album of the Week in DMC update and received great reviews in publications such as The Sun, Mojo, Zoo and Mixmag.

Stand-out track “Under The Sun” found its way onto an international TV ad campaign for Bacardi and was remixed by Herve to devastating effect. “Under The Sun” Herve mix became a massive club record with support from high profile DJs such as Fatboy Slim, Annie Mac, Kissy Sellout, Judge Jules and Dave Spoon. The track achieved No1 status in the Cool Cuts and DMC Zubb charts and was included in several end of year charts; Annie Mac named it her Track of the Year. “Under The Sun” was licensed to big compilations such as Minsistry Of Sound’s The Annual, Gods Kitchen’s Anthems 2009, MOS Addicted to Bass and Herve’s own Ghetto Bass.

Kidda was invited to play the G-Stage at Glastonbury and he has DJ’d at Loop and Beachdown festivals and rocked the dance floors in many clubs around Europe. Kidda has had three mixes broadcast on BBC radio – the Blueroom mix for Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank on Radio 1, a mix for 6 Music’s “6mix” and a mini mix on the Annie Mac show on Radio 1.

Work has started on album two which is slated for a release in the first quarter of 2010
