Kevin Knapp just kicks it, plain and simple. A student of music, influenced by a diverse musical background ranging from Indie Rock and underground Hip-Hop to Classical and Vocal Performance, Kevin tends to draw from his substantial musical rearing when massaging dance floors to life.
As a widely respected figure in San Francisco’s electronic music scene, Kevin has begun to see the last eight years of effort honing his DJ craft, really begin to pay off. This year has seen Kevin collaborating with several big name international artists. Vocal projects with Leftroom Records head Matt Tolfrey, and Inxec (Cocoon, Rennaissance, Great Stuff) have taken Knapp in a new direction musically in ‘09, a direction he’s taken to with great passion and high levels of funk. He also appeared on Audiojack’s (20/20 Vision) debut album “Radio” and has several projects forthcoming with the exciting duo.
2009 also has seen Kevin begin a solo production career as well as continuing his established co-production partnerships with, Slow Poke, Untitled and After’s Silencefiction, and up’n’coming tech funk producer Eric Sebastian.
In addition to making tunes, Kevin continues to gig regularly all over the West Coast. His long standing residency at SF’s weekly party Satellite, has kept him busy playing with talent from all over the world. Having played alongside, Claude VonStroke, Lee Burridge, Matt Tolfrey, Pier Bucci, James Holden, Phil K, Bill Patrick, Kotou, and Worthy just to name a few, Kevin is no stranger to blending in with the world’s best, when party time commences.
With several mix comps, radio appearances, and countless live performances under his belt across the globe, be sure and catch this kid when he’s in you town because Mr. Knapp’s surly gorilla bass lines are infectious.
