Kissy Sellout Talks To A3 Network!

http://www.A3Network.com. Kissy Sellout Talks To A3 Network. Although Kissy has been described by the press as being a staple of the east London electro scene, he is in fact from Colchester in Essex. It was during his adolescent years growing up there that he became obsessed with records by Nirvana, Aphrodite, Swans, Felix Da Housecat and John Martyn, while dividing the rest of his time between school, DJing at teenage house parties and meeting girls at the local roller-skating rink. His particular interest is in melodically complex post-modern dance tracks around 128 BPM in tempo.

Until 2009 the majority of his musical output as a producer was in remixes for other artists but since then he has released two albums "Youth" and the critically acclaimed follow-up "Wild Romance".

When not working on his own music, much of his time as a music producer is spent mentoring fresh names in dance music through his label San City High and also by judging DJ competitions such as the Red Bull Thre3style UK tour. In July 2007 Kissy Sell Out was signed by BBC Radio 1 to present a monthly installment of a specialist dance music show called In New DJs We Trust. In October 2008 he permanently took over Eddie Halliwell's Thursday night slot to host his own weekly show called the "Kissy Klub". His radio show covers a selection of musical styles and genres with the tracks often seamlessly mixed together. A feature of his radio shows are the Kissy Klub Versions which are unofficial remixes created for the show.

Inspired by early recordings of underground drum'n'bass events in the UK, Kissy used to use an air horn during his DJ sets and in June 2007 was pictured on the front cover of DJ Magazine blasting one into the air.
As Kissy grew more experienced, his live DJ shows began to focus on his ability to mix records of all genres together on four Pioneer CD decks. A signature trick he developed on his radio show and live tours was to put electro beats over classical pieces of music. This is something which began to attract media attention when was invited to speak at a formal debate at the Oxford Union against Stephen Fry about the relevance of classical music to the youth of today in May 2011.

During his final year studying Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins College Of Art And Design in London, Kissy worked full-time as a design assistant at a high-fashion magazine called POP Magazine.
