This Saturday 30th May Red Rooms welcome back BBC Radio 1 DJ KISSY SELL OUT.
Kissy Sell Out is an electro-pop prodigy. Initially the new DJ kid on the block, he became the remixer du jour for everyone from Groove Armada and Chromeo to Gwen Stefani. Now he's about to unleash a debut album that will surprise everybody and take him to a whole new level. Heading up his band, not only does he write, produce and arrange all his own material, he also sings and performs on both guitar and keytar. Oh- and he has his own show on Radio 1...
He's very much the hip Londoner, but also bouncy and enthusiastic with an untainted eagerness for life that's contagious. Kissy attended St Martins, the famous Art College, where he studied graphic design and worked for the ultra-cool POP magazine. While there he painted, grew a mullet and turned his attentions to music. New albums by Mylo and Felix Da Housecat hinted at a place where his early interest in grunge dynamics could co-exist with his DJ/club sounds. He knew his way round a computer and, in 2006, created the stomping electro-rave anthem ‘Her' along with the persona of Kissy Sell Out. Packaged in a self-designed sleeve on his own San City High imprint, he persuaded Rough Trade to take 100 copies and, since it contained just the right combination of raw sweaty energy and snappy electro pizzazz, it soon started a clubland buzz.
Word spread and, before long, Kissy was DJing all over the globe and remixing a mass of artists (Calvin Harris, Human League, All Saints, Mark Ronson, Sugababes, etc, etc).
Towards the end of 2007 he decided to devote himself to his own music and upped his musicality, playing all sorts of instruments and learning about singing techniques and live recording.
In July 2007 Kissy Sell Out was signed by BBC Radio 1 to present a monthly installment of a specialist dance music show called In New DJs We Trust. Having impressed so much and having built up quite a following in October 2008 he permanently took over Eddie Halliwell's Thursday night slot to host his own weekly show called the "Kissy Klub".
His DJ gigs are notorious for his use of an air horn, his crazy mash-ups and his crowd interaction. Kissy is most definitely one of the most energetic and exciting DJs of the moment. This is a night not to be missed at Red Rooms. Kissy knows how to get a party going, in fact he is the party.
Doors open at 9pm, Admission is £5 / £7.For more on Kissy visit him at www.myspace.com/kissysellout and listen to his radio show every Thursday night from 12 midnight – 2am on Radio1.
Red Rooms newest night is ‘Summer Sundays’ which had a very successful opening night last weekend. Every Sunday you can expect 2 rooms of great summer party music. Ladies have free admission all night and its free admission for everyone before 10.30pm. For more information on everything going on at Red Rooms visit www.redroomsderry.co.uk
