It’s been a meteoric rise for Kidnap Kid – the Black Butter<\/a> musician closed last year with iTunes US ‘Best Electronic Song of 2012’ for his debut, ‘Vehl’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Kidnap<\/a><\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourself \u2013 where did you grew up and how did you get into electronic music? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m Matt, 22 and I grew up in Sheffield, England.<\/p>\n

What do you think defines the Kidnap Kid sound? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A few days ago I had an interview on East Village Radio, New York, and the interview said that my sound feels like ‘love’ to her. I quite like that. To me, the defining characteristic is that the music is colourful.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re signed to Black Butter<\/a> \u2013 how did they find you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Before Black Butter, I released a few tracks with a smaller label named Squelch and Clap. Once I began to get a little more public attention, the head of the label very selflessly passed my music on to Ollie at Black Butter. I went down to London to meet him shortly after and we’ve been working together ever since.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the one record you can always count on to fill a dance floor? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Waze and Odyssey – I Want You You You<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve produced remixes for Disclosure and Emeli Sande \u2013 do you have any track or artist you\u2019re dying to remix? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d love remix Michael Jackson – Rock With You. Thinking more realistically; something from the new Justin Timberlake album would be cool.<\/p>\n
