KIWI - South London (via Shropshire) to Ibiza
House | Thursday 10th July 2014 | Osh
The South London king of the dancefloor, Kiwi. After recently signing to Duke Dumonts Blasé Boys Club, the young talent will be joining his label boss out in Ibiza for several dates as part of their Blasé Boys Club residency at the profound party destination; Sankeys, Ibiza.
Kiwi is on a mission to make 2014 his own.
Having released on a number of hot labels, making a well-received noise throughout 2013, Kiwi
produces a sound that sits at a point where funk, house and techno meet.
A DJ and producer with a deep-rooted passion for the dancefloor, tried-and-tested record selections
and a remix request list as long as his arm, His wide-ranging repertoire
includes ‘The Guanako Haka’ EP on Days of Being Wild, the ‘Dawn’ EP with Ashworth on Sneaky,
and ‘Llama’ on Jack Savidge and Edwin Congreave’s much-acclaimed Deep Shit label. Plus output on
Needwant, a track on the next Clouded Vision compilation.
Kiwi has recently signed to Duke Dumont’s Blasé Boys Club label. The Blasé Boys Club label has
already proved it's a firm powerhouse of talent, with recent releases 'Need U 100%' feat A*M*E* and 'I
Got U' with fellow Blasé Boy Jax Jones grabbing the UK Number One slots, with productions that
have dominated the airwaves in the UK and beyond. Kiwi also hosted his first ‘Rumours’ radio show
on the prestigious Rinse FM this month, airing on 14th June (listen back https://soundcloud.com/

Remixes for Wankelmut – ‘Wasted So Much Time’ feat. John Lamonica available here – Klaxons (the
super hot ‘There Is No Other Time’ – listen here) and Tronik Youth (‘Pain relief, out now) Horixon on
Kitsuné, Is Tropical, Yumi and the Weather, Lolo and When Saints Go Machine have further extended
Kiwi’s appeal, and have paved the way for even more exciting projects soon to be announced.
Among supporters of Kiwi’s work are Andrew Weatherall, DJ Harvey, Daniel Avery, Erol Alkan, Duke
Dumont, Rob da Bank and Skream, and is a favourite of party-maker Bugged Out. Kiwi can be found
playing every month at London’s XOYO and The Nest, will be heading to Croatia in the summer for
Stop Making Sense, as well as bookings around the UK and Europe.
Kiwi turned to producing after three years as a DJ, making a firm statement as part of the Durrr family,
and helping to launch London venue The Nest. His primary goal for making music is to fill the gaps in
his sets that other records just can’t fill, although with no pre-determined direction for his musings, his
sound from record to record, edit to edit reflects his mood and frame of mind at the time of production.
He’s not direction-less, rather he has a desire to explore so many different avenues.
Kiwi’s penchant for sensual, deep grooves, unadulterated funk, chugging floor-friendly techno and
acid house will see him go far.
