Kanji Kinetic’s future bass sounds have been causing shockwaves at parties worldwide. Mixing up beats from bassline & 4×4, dubstep and oldskool breakbeat hardcore like no-one else can, he has found support from heavyweights such as Mary Anne Hobbs and Tayo in the UK, and Drop The Lime and Starkey in the US.

With a number of well-received releases on respected labels, his production skills are in high demand with a slew of high-profile remixes about to emerge, as well as brand new original material to destroy the party unlike anything before.

Kevin Blake is an electronica producer from Limerick who moved to Cork to persue degree in music. He has always played in experimental rock bands but an explosion of inspiration from the discovery of labels such as Warp, Rephlex and Planet Mu inspired him to start making electronic music. In early 2007, realising that there wasn't much of a platform in Cork for Kevin to perform his music live, he started up his own night called 'Electric Underground'. This focused on giving left-field dance music producers a stage to perform on, and pushed innovative djs as well. Over the last three and a half years they have had over 70 international acts play from the finest labels in dance music today including Warp, Planet Mu, Ninjatune and Rephlex.

He released his debut EP 'You Are What You Hear' in March 2009 which received much critical acclaim from various media sources and a distribution deal with RMG. Ireland's most well respected music reviewer Jim Carroll of the Irish Times described it as being "Smashing, You Are What You Hear is the go-to release for fresh, engaging minimal electronic grooves". Donal Dineen and Cian O'Cíobháin pushed it onto the airwaves, with Donal picking Kevin to be one of the featured Irish upcoming artists to do a live set and interview on Today Fm for the Fresh Air Festival.

Kevin's live sets and productions led him to play gigs all around the country and have even brought him to play sets in France and the Uk. He has also played at Ireland's most prestigious festivals including DEAF and the Electric Picnic. The live sets are aimed towards moving people on the dancefloor and his bass heavy sets incorporate influences such as Dubstep, Hip Hop and Techno. He has had the pleasure of warming up for such luminaries as Luke Vibert, Prefuse 73, Venetian Snares, Bonobo, Mu-ziq, Kode 9 and Boxcutter. He is currently working on a new EP and finishing an album with his band 'Private Underground Residence'.
