About Me
[ Mashit , Shockout , Surya Dub , XLR8R ]
Kid Kameleon is a beat strategist and technology enthusiast who blends, chops, restructures and generally smashes rhythms from across the sonic spectrum. From breakcore and ragga-jungle to dubstep and grime, with stops along the way at B-More, dub, dancehall, hip-hop, DnB, electro and the straight up unclassifiable, he's a champion of underground sounds and outsider music. The Kid has dropped his fast-paced, eclectic style at parties from California to Estonia, sharing stages with the likes of Kool Herc, U-Roy, DJ Spooky, Asian Dub Foundation, Alec Empire, Squarepusher, The Bug, Vex'd and The Plastician, and many more. A blogger ( kidkameleon.com , riddimmethod.net , and localoaf.org ), he also writes a monthly column called Basic Needs for XLR8R magazine covering "Low End Necessities from Ragga to Dubstep and beyond". In 2006 he wrote major features on Dubstep , Breakcore , and Berlin's Nu-Dub Scene ( Jahcoozi , The Tape , Al Haca , Tolcha , and Shir Khan ), and has done short pieces on The Bug , Debaser , Ghislain Poirier , 8 Bit Weapon , Skream , Kode 9 , Dolphin and Teknoist , and Disrupt . Always on the lookout for new music to cover, drop a myspace note if you've got tunes for consideration.His mixes have garnered praise in publications like pitchforkmedia.com and URB. Over the last few years he's created:
Absolutely and Even More Shocking for Tigerbeat 6 offshoot label Shockout.
Mashers without Borders for Boston Ragga-and-more label Mashit
