RELNOTES..:
King Unique are two guys called Matt who make rough-edged dirty house music,
Matthew Roberts and Matt Thomas, a pair of studio junkies with a taste for
bulldozer beats and sick synthesizers.
Over the last five years their records, remixes and re-edits have hit home with
house-heads, nu-ravers and electro-rockers alike, being championed by everyone
from Sasha to Soulwax, Danny Howells to Tiesto, and Pete Tong to Zane Lowe.
Their music has turned up everywhere from Hollywood soundtracks to mobile
ringtones, not to mention countless compilations and mix albums.
Their decksÆnÆfx DJ sets have made them regulars in some of the worldÆs most
respected clubs and biggest festivals, while the "King Unique Broadcast" radio
mix series regularly airs to countries across the globe. 2006 has seen them
starting their own residency, "Curfew Time" at London's Turnmills, bringing Loud
Electronic Dirt to the capital.
King Unique hit the floor running in 2001, claiming the title of Undisputed
Remix Champs by scoring five Essential New Tunes in five months on Pete TongÆs
BBC Radio 1 show. The King Unique sound has been in constant demand since,
appearing on dozens of remixes including King Dong sized floor-fillers such as
UnderworldÆs ôTwo Months Offö, Las Vegas rockers The KillersÆ ôSomebody Told
Meö, Planet FunkÆs ôThe Switchö, MutinyÆs ôThe Virusö, JamiroquaiÆs ôYou Give Me
Somethingö, The FreemasonsÆ "Love On My Mind", Luke SlaterÆs ôNothing At Allö,
and Chable and BonicciÆs ôRideö. Most recently King Unique have reworked
Teamsters "Feels Like Love", Mish Mash's "Speechless", and Suicide Sports Club's
ôI Don't Knowö.
The productions make for an equally impressive line-up; "Dirty", "Sugarhigh",
"Lighters" and new cut "Flashing Lights". ôObscene, dirty, filthy, immoralö set
out the King Unique agenda on ôDirtyö by Dirty, the first of a series of singles
released on Junior Boys Own. Next they raised the stakes with ôSugarhighö, a
track dreamt up in a tiny techno bar in Tokyo whilst under the influence of too
much vodka and too little sleep. A melodic powerhouse of a track that fused
classic house and melodic Detroit vibes, ôSugarhighö gave KU a sixth Essential
New Tune. The next King Unique single ôLighters/Music Pleaseö followed in early
2003 and saw KU experimenting with new sounds. ôLightersö poured out a
relentless cascade of slow and heavy electro-house that ôsound like itÆs raining
synthesizers on your headö (Mixmag), while the DJ-friendly ôMusic Pleaseö
delivered a slice of psychedelic breakbeats favoured by Danny Tenaglia and James
Zabiela. KU closed 2005 with ôFlashing Lights/Curfew Timeö another double A-side
release. "Flashing Lights" is a big room grunge-house monster with a dumb bass
line thatÆd make The Kinks proud; ôCurfew Timeö kicks out a spiky slab of
riff-house, then throws in a jungle-flavoured break down of Amazonian
proportions. (The full list of more than 40 releases can be found on the Trax
page)
King Unique's renowned DJ sets have made them regular names in the world's
biggest clubs and festivals, playing everywhere from ultra-hip blacked-out sweat
boxes in Tokyo to euphoric crowds of thousands on the tropical beaches of
Madeira. Since their first shows in 2001 they have consistently blown minds (and
speakers), bringing more than just record boxes into the DJ booth. By packing
their studio into a pair of laptops, KU are able to re-edit and re-work any
track on the fly, creating a four-armed, twin-headed, single-minded mash up of
CDs, custom made re-edits and live samples. End result? You may know some of the
records, but you won't have heard them sound like this before.
This hotly demanded sound has made itÆs mark at all the best UK clubs; Turnmills
(home to KU's own "Curfew Time" nights), Tribal Sessions, Renaissance, The End,
Ministry Of Sound, Godskitchen and Lush. Worldwide demand for the King Unique
sound has seen them playing Tokyo, Paris, Reykjavik, Amsterdam, Malta, Moscow,
Athens, Auckland, Bucharest, Singapore, Sydney, Milan, Kiev, Buenos Aires,
etc.... (you get the picture). Not forgetting the festivals; the huge Skol Beats
in Brazil, the UK's Global Gathering, Weekenddance in Madeira and the renowned
Exit festival in Serbia amongst others.
