Brighton-born DJ and producer Ryan Hurley – better known
under the stage name Kideko – is one of the UK’s leading electronic musicians. Masterminding
a fresh, bass-focused take on UK house music that has resonated on dancefloors
worldwide, Hurley has made an indelible mark on the global scene in just a few
short years. With four Radio 1 Dance Chart No 1s, sixty million streams, a spot
in the UK Top 5 Shazam chart and a silver record under his belt, there’s no
telling what heights his career will reach next.
Emerging on to the U.K. house scene in 2015 with the release
of debut single, ‘The Jam.’ Sampling Technotronic’s iconic track ‘Pump Up the
Jam,’ the release prompted attention from BBC Radio 1 DJs, including Annie Mac,
Mistajam, and Pete Tong. Releasing his sophomore effort in 2016 alongside
George Kwali, Hurley has continued to collaborate, going on to work alongside Tinie
Tempah, Sonny Fodera and Becky G while remixing for the likes of Sigma and
Shift K3y.
Kideko has recently worked with Cr2 and Solotoko, with
releases in the calendar across a range of imprints. 2019 will see the
foundation of his own label, Make ‘Em Move, an outlet for his own productions
and those of like-minded talents.
