This month at Droppin’ Science we welcome the return of special guest DJ/Producer Kidkanevil (first word records), & we also welcome back regular Droppin’ Science contributor & future funk master DJ Druskillz. Join them & residents Matman, Nickname & Daredevil at the Vibe Bar on bonfire night for yet another legendary night out.

Facebook Event here.

Hailing from Tokyorkshire, DJ/Producer Kidkanevil first came to prominence with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Problems & Solutions’ back in 2007, and has since gone from strength to strength. His lively dj sets often span many genres, from hip hop to reggae to dubstep to old school jungle/dnb, with plenty of lazers thrown in for good measure!

Now three albums deep, his latest LP ‘Basho Basho’ was released earlier last year to great critical acclaim, & followed up by a remixed version featuring some of the most talented producers out there today.

Kidk is also an integral part of the group ‘Stateless‘ who’s critically acclaimed album has recently dropped on Ninja Tune records!

Earlier this year he also dropped a free 7-track EP titled ‘freebeatsnbleeps’ – we recommend you go download that now if you haven’t already, get it at kidkanevil.bandcamp.com

“Basho Basho deserves to put kidkanevil right up there with Flying Lotus.”
Knowledge Magazine

“Thunderous…a vivid display of dexterous beat construction and cultural experimentation. An incredible amount of character bubbles at the surface of evey track.”
okayplayer

“Sparse constellations of lethally-sharpened drum sounds flying around the listener act as a single structure of seemingly impossible strength.”

This thursday Skillz the Dj Game will finally be available to buy for Ipad users! Me & DJ Daredevil from Droppin’ Science have been working on the soundtrack for a couple of years now for the Hong-Kong based production company Playpen Studios, creating specially re-edited & cut-up versions of tracks from the likes of Stones Throw Records, Ministry of Sound, Ninja Tune, Hospital Records & Om Records. I’ve been playing a pre-release version of the game for sometime now & I can tell you it’s a whole lot of fun, the control system is extremely intuitive, & a lot closer to the real thing than previous dj rhythm games!

A whole heap of videos have been released from various sources, I’ve posted up a few of my favourite ones I worked on below, check ‘em out!

Skillz: Hands-On Video – Hospital Megamix (Hard) from Playpen Studios on Vimeo.

Skillz: Hands-On Video – Bad Mind People (Hard) from Playpen Studios on Vimeo.

Check out my peeps Prose aka Steady & Efeks in their new double a-side video ‘For the love/What’s Love’ taken from the future classic album ‘Force of Habit‘ – There’s also a couple of tracks on there featuring myself on the cuts, check out ‘More Than Before’ below featuring Philadelphia’s Killer Rellik & Side Effect, I’m pretty happy with how my all-scratched chorus turned out!

Double A side single’For the Love/What’s Love’ available on iTunes & bandcamp
