East London’s Kissy Sell Out emerged from the MySpace generation of cool nerds and sonic visionaries and is one of the hottest club DJs, producers and remixers around.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martin’s in graphic design, Kissy Sell Out is an underground sensation. Influences range from Sonic Youth, Scritti Politti and Swans to Aphrodite and Mickey Finn’s late 1990s drum'n'bass, dance producers such as DFA, Headman and early Daft Punk.

He played electric guitar since the age of 11 and began DJing at the age of 13 after turning from a Nirvana fan to a dance music fan overnight after hearing an acid house mix CD. Kissy soon started taking remixing and producing seriously. Following a short stint in a mainstream electro pop band, Kissy decided to go solo and explore new musical territories.

"When I made my first honest piece of music under the Kissy Sell Out guise, which I felt proud of, I suddenly realised that I had quite literally sold out in previous productions to try and appeal to a wider audience while repressing my urge to make something so much dirtier, and so Kissy Sell Out was born!"

Support comes from Hostage - Electro/Rave/Fidget/House producer from Edinburgh, Scotland. Known for house-electro and live sets involving reckless stupidity!
