Kidnap Kid

Kidnap Kid is the former alias of Matthew Relton, an electronic music producer and DJ from Sheffield, England. Relton began releasing music under the Kidnap Kid moniker in 2014 and has since transitioned to performing professionally as Kidnap. The Sheffield-based artist operates as a solo act and has established himself within the UK electronic music scene over the past decade.

Kidnap Kid's sound centers on deep house and progressive house, with releases spanning from 2014 to 2017 across notable labels including Anjunadeep and FFRR. His productions blend deep house foundations with progressive elements, creating tracks that work equally well in intimate club settings and larger festival environments. The artist's catalog demonstrates a consistent approach to melodic, groove-driven house music that maintains the deeper, more contemplative characteristics associated with the Anjunadeep roster while incorporating the accessibility expected from FFRR releases.
