One of the UK's finest, Kissy Sell Out continues to be a hugely influential name in electronic scenes all over the world.

Whether it’s the highly sought-after DJ edits he manages to thrash out 4-at-a-time from the Pioneer CDJ 2000s he has helped develop, or his charming personality and stage presence, there is a level of mischievous determination about Kissy which seems effortless and genuine. It’s this aspect of Kissy’s live shows which often divides audiences into those who dance and those who simply stand a stare, with their camera phones held high, as the young DJ speeds through tune after tune before their eyes.

Based in East London, his time between tours is filled with commitments to the independent record label San City High Records. This is a project he founded while still studying at London’s University of the Arts, and is the label he now manages entirely from his music studio and Shoreditch office with his like-minded team.

Joined by an impressive roster of artists – who are often discovered first by SCH and then encouraged to collaborate with associated labels like Mad Decent & Dim Mak - San City High has a family dynamic like siblings collaborating with each other - making tunes, designing record sleeves and always, always having fun!

2013 signals the release of a new album but, this time round, with a twist in the tail. San City High ALL STARS, which features a staggering lineup of over 30 of dance music’s biggest and best, has a cast of collaborators which resembles The Avengers! San City High ALL STARS featuring exclusive collabs and mixes with Hatcha, Eats Everything, Zeds Dead, Jack Beats, Hervé, TAI, Saint Saviour, Queen Of Hearts, Taku Takahashi, Ali Love, Ty and many more – ready to lead the assault against the increasingly flat state of dance music. The album is released in most territories through iTunes on February 4th 2013.

During his 6 year career, Kissy Sell Out has carved many lasting impressions into the legacy of electronic music. It began with the game-changing official remixes he delivered for a host of chart topping artists such as Gwen Stefani, Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson who approached the young producer as the go-to man for underground crossover mixes of the highest order. This was then followed by a debut electro-pop album “Youth” and the critically acclaimed ambitious sophomore album “Wild Romance”. The spectacle and engineering innovations of Kissy’s second album, in particular, sent shock waves through the industry as he presented a work of electro bumps and basslines constructed from classical instruments which he composed, performed and recorded completely on his own.

It’s this unique mix of part-socialite/part-recluse which has led to Mixmag describing him as "one of the most exciting, charismatic and entertaining DJs of the decade" while fondly nick-naming him “the mad hatter of dance music”.

From 2007-2012 he hosted a hugely successful BBC Radio 1 show called the "Kissy Klub". With that radio show, Kissy became an influential force in the developing electro scene not just as a producer but as a taste-maker too. Notable players such as Diplo, Felix Da Housecat, Hervé, Uffie & Erol Alkan made regular appearances alongside exclusive tracks Kissy supported which kick-started careers for a long list of breakthrough producers and DJs across the musical spectrum. His obsessive record store hunting even earned him the accolades of not only being the first person to interview Skrillex and Ed Sheeran on Radio 1 but also the first ever person to play a Lady Gaga record on national radio!

As crowds continue to flock toward the big man with a big heart and an even bigger sound....the party rolls on. LONG LIVE THE KISSY KLUB!!
