   About Sofa Kid
Hailing from the cosy country suburb of Saintfield,County Down, Sofa Kid began buying vinyl in 1987, surviving on a high fibre diet of The Pixies, Neil Young & 'early' U2. He discovered dance music in 97' via Daft Punks groundbreaking 'Homework' and took up DJing in 2002 after being turned on to the more soulful side of the dance scene, tuning in late one night to Gilles Petersons legendary Worldwide show.

Dis-satisfied with mining a single genre, Sofa Kid prefers to dig deep, playing out a broad mix of Spiritual beats inc: Afro/Deep House, Broken Beat, Ambient Techno, Nu Soul, Drum & Bass, Dub & Hiptronica.

As well running his own nights over the years in Belfast; KARMACOMA, HUSH & SOURCE, Sofakids been busy guest DJing at the legendary 'Bounce' at Sandinos in Derry and a residency at AMPM. Your're most likely to catch the Sofa in Belfast somewhere between The Black Box, The Garrick and whatever passes for a venue with a bit soul-adventure to it. Bip bop u is.
