ABOUT://
Hkay is a Producer, DJ and Mastering Engineer from London, UK. As a musician, he is fluent in many styles and genres - however the framework is always a dark form of Drum and Bass, frequently peppered with Tekno and Crossbreed flavours. From early 2011 onwards, he started earning a name for himself on the free party, squat rave and club scene across the UK - often making noise on the mighty Requiem Soundsystem.
Stylistically, Hkay's production and live shows contain a blend of powerful drops, energetic rhythms and atmospheric breakdowns. He believes no matter how heavy a song or mix sounds - it should always contain a strong element of melodic content.
Most weekends across the UK & Europe, you're likely to find him rocking a dance floor - be it a club, warehouse, forest or festival. So far, Hkay has shared the stage with the likes of Ed Rush & Optical, Prolix, Billain, Cause4Concern, Optiv & BTK, Audio, Mob Tactics, Broken Note and State Of Mind to name only a few.
Summer 2017, Hkay was enlisted to manage Axon Records. Currently releasing a range of Dark Drum & Bass with strong musical themes. In the short time since its conception, Axon records have released music by Mean Teeth, The Clamps, Cod3x and from the label founder himself, NickBee.
April 2019 saw Hkay’s debut on Kill Tomorrow, a collaborative track alongside Traced entitled ‘Sonic Warfare’ which featured in Beatports top 100 Drum & Bass chart. This was swiftly followed by his first solo release in December 2019 ‘Bad Day / The Storm’, both tracks received major support from key players in the scene.
In March 2020, he opened Retribution Studios in South London, from there he has been recording and producing for big names in the Hip-Hop scene, including Tommy Evans, Kyza, Cracker Jon and more. He also operates as a Mix & Master engineer from the premesis, and has worked for a number of clients on a range of genres, from Drum & Bass to Dubstep, Hip-hop to Techno.
Moving forward, Hkay is exploring new depths of production using modern techniques and technology, enabling him to push the boundaries of his music further than ever.
