About Me |
|
| Kelpe is Kel Mckeown, from Loughborough, England. After tentative
pre-teenage forays into cassette recorders and joke rap bands with
friends, Kel devoted most of his teenage years to bone splintering
skateboarding mishaps before deciding that loops and samples might
provide him with a safer past time than trucks and wheels. Despite
adolescent attempts at computer music resulting in "crap rave efforts"
made on a commodore Amiga, the process of sampling and sequencing
provided him with a discipline and focus that is of fundamental
importance to the creative process that he currently employs in the
execution of his gob-smackingly impressive "head-nod-tronica"
work-outs.Coming to the attention of DC Recordings in early 2003, his first
release for label was the 12" EP 'The People are Trying to Sleep', a
wide eyed carnival of fractured beats and warped electronics. This was
followed by the critically acclaimed album 'Sea Inside Body'
(September 2004) and most recently, by bedroom discotheque 12"
'Sunburnt Eyelids' (October 2005).With influences ranging from the bleeps & bass of classic Warp artists
to the spectral folk of John Renbourn, and the minimalism of Steve
Reich to the percussive space-scapes of Do Make Say Think, the
diversity of the music that inspires Kelpe finds reflection in his own
sonic adventures, informing his ever evolving sound, combining as map
and compass to guide his lunar-bound b-boy throwdowns. ------------------------------------------------------------
