King Unique = Dirty House Music.
That’s all you need to know.
You need details? Ok, read on….
King Unique are two guys called Matt who make rough-edged dirty house music, Matthew Roberts and Matt “Watkins” 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 Carl Cox 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.
King Unique's renowned ‘dex ‘n’ fx’ 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 it’s 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, Global Gathering and the renowned Exit festival in Serbia amongst others..
What are King Unique cooking up next? Well for a start they’re making an appearance at DirtyGroove on Friday 6th October and to say we’re excited is an understatement. We’ve been after these guys for sometime now and we’ve finally secured them for a gig in what will surely be one of the most intimate venues to catch the King Unique sound this year. See you at the front!
