Kidsonic

A powerful cathartic energy is coded deep into the dynamic sounds of innovative young Bristol-based drum & bass artist Kidsonic. A sense of tension and release and strong themes of overcoming challenges and articulating emotions are all tightly coiled into his minimal signature. It’s a signature that has so far been supported by the likes of Noisia, Philth and Hadley and championed by respected labels such as Ekou, Four Corners, inhabit, Hanzom, Incurzion, Monk Audio, Impact Music and many other cutting edge, new-generation stables.

For Kidsonic it’s the sound of total escapism. Born blind, and severely vision impaired to this day, his relationship with frequencies and sound runs deep into everything he does. Brought up in a highly musical family, tinkering with production since the age of 12 and writing lyrics from his early teens, his creations are a reflection of everything in his life soundtrack and his hectic west country environment. Everything from reggae to Bangra to heavy metal to dubstep has all been thrown in the Kidsonic pot during his 22 laps around the sun so far… And it’s all galvanised and concentrated into the unique beguiling deep groove fusion you hear today.

Compounded by his perspective and experiences living with autistic spectrum disorder, Kidsonic isn’t just making music for the dancefloor here… He’s making music to understand the world, himself and how to navigate it. The catharsis never ends.
