Release Notes:
Kissy Sell Out is well and truly back. The 12 blistering tracks of his
second album Wild Romance herald his triumphant return. From ballistic
straight out the box club annihilators, to peak time radio hits, it's a
coming of age for this master-producer.
He’s only 25, but Kissy’s packed an awful lot into his short career to
date. Whether he’s DJing to a packed out crowd, mixing avant garde new
sounds on his weekly Radio One show, producing his own material or
remixing for others, the results are always the same: Exhilarating. In
the talent rich genre of electro, one name has always stood out as more
forward thinking than the rest. Colchester-native Kissy Sell Out first
exploded on to the scene with a series of technically ambitious remixes
in 2006. His rework of Mark Ronson’s take on The Smith’s ‘Stop Me’,
gained him particular kudos and was included in numerous compilations.
It was enough to bring him to the attention of radio bosses, who
offered the twenty-something design student a weekly slot on Radio One.
‘Wild Romance’ sees Kissy’s talents stretched in all directions, and
the results are really impressive. He’s got the balance of huge club
anthems like ‘Wild In the Warehouse’ perfectly offset with the pop
sensibilities of ‘Homesick’ which features the lyrical waxings of close
friend and comrade Oh Snap!. Two years after his debut album ‘Youth’,
‘Wild Romance’, showcases what Kissy has learnt in the interim. It
retains the extroverted sound that he has become synonymous with, but
is overall more confident. Twelve tracks of vicious beats, heart
stopping breakdowns and fist-pumping drops. Kissy Sell Out has truly
hit his stride.
Over at Radio One, he’s now over one hundred shows in, and he has used
it as an opportunity to showcase his own technical abilities,
presenting a new Kissy Klub mix each week, a section of the show made
entirely of his exclusive remixes made especially for the show. Along
with his fresh attitude to mixing records, his amiable persona
continues to draw thousands upon thousands of new listeners to his late
night slot week on week. Fans not only want to hear what at Kissy has
made, but also what he has found; he is a champion of new talent, and
regularly plays tracks sent to him by bedroom producers along with
tracks from more established artists and record labels.
Kissy studied Graphic Design at St. Martin's College of Art in London,
where he used flyers he had seen for clubs as his main source of
inspiration. Not long after graduating, he found himself in a recording
studio, working on debut album 'Youth'. He says: "I was swept off my
feet, straight out of art college, thinking I’d be an artist or
designer and suddenly I’m a buzzy, future of dance music character - it
was frightening mixing that album."
Many were charmed by the debut album, earning Kissy a legion of devoted
fans. He toured with a live band, went to SXSW in Texas and all over
Europe and Australia. When the tour ended he went back to DJing, and
started to question if his dream job was the one for him. "It was a bit
of an epiphany for me," he says. "I was stood there in front of two
decks, in front of thousands of people in a nightclub. I stood there
and thought, ‘Is this all I do? Play a tune every three minutes?’” He
took this as an opportunity to put the performance aspect of being in a
band in to a DJ-set scenario, upping his game – and the number of decks
to four. He has injected his live sets with a level of showmanship that
thrill audiences and gain him new fans every time. “The crowd responds
well, and so do I,” he says. Glastonbury 2010 saw him play a set to
10,000 people. He was astounded that so many people would choose to
watch him when the festival’s line-up was so rich in talent. The next
day a further 4,000 people came to see his second set, a phenomena he
puts down to word of mouth spreading across the campsites.
When he returned to the studio to begin work on ‘Wild Romance’, there
was one aspect of his career that Kissy took inspiration from – his
radio show. In fact, he is sure that had he never been given the
opportunity to be a weekly fixture national radio, this album would
sound very different. “I weave in a lot of classical music and I think
had I not done the radio show I wouldn’t have known how to weave that
in to a dance track. I’m so used to that, so what I wanted to was
combine what I was doing already – writing my own music, and playing
all my own instruments and composing it all – and mix that with the
classical influence.”
Kissy sums up, “The album is full of breakdowns and basslines. Every
second drop is different. It’s me all over, which is cool. I like the
idea of doing things that no one else is doing and being an innovator.”
A note: I've sat here watching these FNT and 404 rips getting nuked,
thinking to myself, what the fuck. Oh no, they don't have a cover (that
they could have just printed off the internet and made the scan fine),
we best nuke it!! Seriously, the cd is there, along with the grouptag,
what is a picture of the artwork gonna prove? Why are you trying to
kill the only decent part of the mp3 scene left? Don't get me wrong, I
am pleased with the new rules to an extent (thanks for getting us to
sign them, by the way), but this is beyond a joke. As mp3 nukers, I
know you never actually see promos yourself, but let me tell you, alot
come without covers. This album I am preing now came without a cover,
so what? How does that make it any less legit? You can see the fucking
CD, you can see the fucking grouptag, you can fuck off.
