The fact that Kryders live career kicked off on the biggest club land stage on this planet goes some way to explaining the scale and ambition of this project. Its all such a long way its genesis, deep within the UK club land: the very moment Kryder cued up one of his own tracks in a dark, basement club the very moment the beat kicked in, hands went up in the air and the next DJ on a certain Judge Jules witnessed the damage done and demanded to know what the track was. Kryder passed it to him and Jules proceeded to put it straight back into the C-DJ and hit play and then once more, to end his set and then on his Radio 1 show, six weeks in a row. Making it his Tried and Tested, Jules said on air that its the best example Ive heard of really getting the balance right: great chords, huge atmosphere and groovy undertone and he continues to be a massive fan for instance inviting Kryder to join him in the studio at Radio 1 on October 7th. That track was called, simply, K2. As soon as it was played on Radio 1, punters across the nation scrambled to find out Kryders identity. Debates surfaced on blogs and dance forums. Labels joined the hunt to track him down.
The person who successfully caught up with Kryder - perhaps not surprisingly considering his profile - was none other than Tiesto. He signed K2 to his Musical Freedom label and successfully promod the track during the Miami Winter Music Conference, receiving massive support from the likes of Swedish House Mafia as one of the key WMC tracks, and from Pete Tong, who played the track on his Miami Radio 1 show. That meant in the same week K2 had been signed by the worlds biggest DJ, and then played on the years key Radio 1 show. Quickly ascending to 12 in the Buzz Chart, DMC said of the track: this club monster is so banging it hurts with Mixmag (giving the track 5/5) adding of this epic Miami monster anthem that they expect it to stick around throughout the Ibiza season. Again, Mixmag were right on the money - as the hype built up, Calvin Harris played K2 during his Essential Mix on Radio 1 and it also featured in the Ibiza Essential Mix, giving further kudos to the cut. It was finally released in June 2011, with Tiesto consistently incorporating it into his sets during his North American tour at that time. It went on to become a Top 10 dance hit worldwide, with Beatport placing it Number 2 in their summers biggest Ibiza bombs.
Behind the visor, Kryder (still as mysterious as he is anonymous) has become a leading producer to look out for in 2011, complete with his dwarf sidekick - the classically-trained Dokta Kaotika - and a circus freakshow entourage. Were producing music that stands up in any club, says Kryder himself and that is backed up across the industry: Andi Durrant played Kryder on his networked Capital Radio show, with Kryder featured as a Weekend Player and support has come from Kiss Radio, Juice, Radio City, Global and across European and American stations.
In terms of DJs, Kissy Sellout continues to play Kryder music both on-air and on tour and other support has come from the likes of Calvin Harris, Laidback Luke, Avicii, Zane Lowe, Erick Morillo, Hardwell and Groove Armada. Eddie Halliwell has become such a fan that he asked Kryder to warm up for him at his Ibiza Rocks show. He also made Kryder his One 2 Watch in his latest Beatport Interview. And if all that wasnt enough, Eddie also invited Kryder to join him on his Fire It Up tour, travelling across the UK.
So, the look is super kooky but how does Kryder sound? Kryder has a deep, underground edge: progressive house overlaid with trance chords and atmosphere; his tracks like dark, magical postcards sent out across the world.
Pulling 20-hour days, the man Mixmag identified as a Manchester promoter turned mysterious big-room boomer is currently locked in his studio remixing for the worlds biggest dance majors such as Warner Bros, EMI, Polydor and Musical Freedom, working with globally known popstars, deftly skating that crossover from dance to pop worlds. Remixes have covered artists including Tinchy Stryder to Bryan Adams to Australian band Pnau, with the Kryder remix of their Solid Ground track receiving serious support on Radio 1.
Kryder will soon be back on the road to support this musical output, signing to agency PFA to handle the live side of the outfit - sure to bring a sense of carnival back to club land. Aside from the Fire It Up tour, Mixmag continue to give props to Kryder, billing him as a hot UK producer in their September magazine and inviting him to guest at their recent Manchester party. Other key gigs include; Tall Trees, Yarm & Sankeys, Manchester. Keep up to date with what a newspaper termed "a midnight vigilante hovering over the city" at www.kryder.co.uk.
