I'm a designer from Essex who went to Central Saint Martins art college in London but I'm a more of a music producer and electro DJ these days.
My debut album has just been released on my own record label called San City High via the nice peeps at Marrakesh Records. It took me a whole year to make and it's all about my childhood in Essex with vocals from Danimal Kingdom (the "be kissy friend, be kissy foe" singer!) and killer instrumentals like "Harriet" (with very Very VERY complicated synth solos!) which will hopefully keep you dancing for the rest of the year and/or make your mind explode!
The tunes that originally got me noticed by the world and all it's friends were my remixes which I'm really proud of so if you haven't heard any of them try typing my name into itunes, beatport and ebay ;-)
I'm always touring around various places with my live band and dodging glow sticks while DJing at night clubs - so if you see my name on a poster come and say hello!
I've also done a bootleg ep with all proceeds going to British Association of Adoption and Fostering called "Get Busy Tropicana" which you can get on Beatport and in Urban Outfitters stores around the UK.
That's all the formal stuff but the most important thing I wanna say is THANK YOU! Having my first remixes pressed onto vinyl while I was still at uni was like a wish come true for me but everything that has happened since has been beyond my wildest dreams, and I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't for you guys and gals who send me demos, write me nice letters, listen to the radio show and scream/shout/jump around/do the robot at my live gigs!
If you're out this weekend come say hello!
Lots of love,
Kissy x x x
P.S.I'm very lucky to have to my own show on BBC Radio 1 and I try and play as many unsigned tracks as possible to pass on the love I got when I first started so if you have any tracks for me then just send a Yousendit or Mediafire link to this myspace page ;-)

Sup kissy, just want to put it out there that you should come to northampton soon. I seem to spend my life travelling around the country sleeping on floors so that i can see all my favourite djs play. For once i'd like it if someone would come and play in northampton then maybe after raving i could lie in a bed and sleep!!!
Trust me nothing comes here so if you do it'll go off big style!!!! Brap brap!!!!!
