Freq! Presents KISSY SELL OUT Live

I'm pleased to announce that our october installment of Freq! will be a very special one as we welcome as part of his live tour none other than Radio 1's new kid on the block KISSY SELL OUT.

Although we're not even into september we are pushing this one already as this will be huge with most of the dates on the tour selling tickets out within hours so we are putting our advance tickets on sale now.

--------------------------------- PROFILE ---------------------------------

Aged 22 from East London - Kissy Sell Out emerged from the ‘myspace’ generation of cool nerds and sonic visionaries and is one of the hottest up-and-coming club DJs, producers and remixers around.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martin’s in Graphic Design, Kissy Sell Out has already become an underground sensation. Influences range from Sonic Youth, Scritti Politti and Swans to Aphrodite and Mickey Finn’s late 90’s drum’n’bass, dance producers such as DFA, Headman and early Daft Punk.

He has 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 more 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!’

Many late nights working saw his graphic design project/imprint San City High, Kissy Sell Out music and design projects moving from strength-to-strength. Like minded artists from around the world signed up to San City High with Kissy being the sole driving force running the whole operation from his bedroom.

Kissy’s future projects will see him teaming up with Sinden and Dave ‘Switch’ Taylor’s underground label Counterfeet for a special one-off EP and the release of Kissy’s underground smash ‘Her’ in July on Lavolta Records with remixes from DJ Touché, Trey Crasseux and Metal On Metal.

Another fresh Kissy track already hotly tipped is ‘Harriet’ which was specially re-edited with guest vocals from Bolt Action Five for Annie Mac’s Mixmag CD in April. Kissy has also just delivered remixes for Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson. Kissy’s debut album will be released in early 2008.
