DJ Kid: By far the most prolific DJ in the Scottish D&B scene. Kid achieved his status with over 10 years of relentless hard work and a passionate drive for Drum & Bass. Coming from an era in Scotland when the early sounds of Breakbeat and Jungle looked like they would never find acceptance, Kid has stuck to his guns and continually pushed the boundaries north of the border, working hard at promoting nights and continually harassing the media to shed light on the music and scene he loves.

Scotland currently boasts a number of talented DJs, MCs, Producers and regular clubnights but it’s DJ Kid who’s pioneered this movement. He was also a key figure in the huge success that Manga (his resident club night) in Edinburgh has enjoyed, the night is about to celebrate a decade of D&B pressure in the Scottish capital.

2004 saw DJ Kid launch his own record label: Restless Natives Records which, so far, has had five strong releases. Restless Natives is dedicated to pushing new talents, such as DJ Kryptik, Dc Breaks and, most notably, DJ Samurai who’s been getting some major attention from the scene’s top dogs. Andy C even phoned Kid to ask if he could take ‘Be Mine’ off his hands for one of his labels. Kid says “The label is simply a platform for up & coming producers to showcase their talents and step up the ladder as quickly as possible.” Earlier this year Kid was invited to do the cover CD for Knowledge, he delivered a mix complete with his trademark tight mixing style, showcasing both past and future releases on his label.

After many years of supporting the scene north of the border Kid has finally made the move down south where he’s been living for the past three months in Guildford: “I always had in the back of my mind that I’d love to give things a shot down south, as that’s where its at no doubt. Now that I’ve finally made this move I feel like I’m starting all over again and feel so excited at all the new options available to me. Since I moved here I have basically concentrated on getting settled but now I’m starting to let people know I’m living down here and chasing a few promoters again as well as arranging to work with a whole array of Drum & Bass producers who I’ve been close friends for many years.”

DJ Kid has set his sights fully on making his biggest impact on the scene in 2006 and from his past exploits he should have no problem in doing so. Listen out for Kid making a guest appearance on DJ Hype’s Kiss 100 show and of course his very first DOA mix.
