About Me


Mixset This is the most recent Kickflip mixset, it was recorded at the end of February this year, and has been getting rave reactions from people all over!
February Mixset
Biog:Bringing Steel City breaks straight to your ears, Kickflip is now established as one of breakbeat's most respected producer/DJs. Now signed up to The Fat! DJ Agency and resident for Sheffield's premier BUG & Urban Gorilla nights, as well as playing gigs up and down the country, Bob's sets and music has inspired people all across the globe.Kickflip's productions encompass a wide range of styles, taking in influences from funk, drum and bass, house, hip hop and old skool hardcore. Each track is polished to work as well at home as it does on the dance floor, with low down dirty grooves, intricate attention to detail and abnormal noises to distort your mind. Past releases have received support from Meat Katie, Chris Carter, The Drumattic Twins, General MIDI, Jay Cunning, Madox, Groove Diggerz, Vandal, Tayo, The Stanton Warriors and Annie Nightingale via her show on BBC Radio 1.Obsessed with forward-thinking sound from an early age, Bob spent his formative years growing up in a quiet part of the middle of Wales, filling the time by teaching himself production on a ghetto home studio and practicing all sorts of turntable trickery. When he hit 19, he moved to Sheffield to seek bigger and better things. Through the back room of the legendary NY Sushi and Sheffield's premier Urban Gorilla night, he found the nu skool breaks sound, and was immediately hooked.In the past Bob has worked with Lisa Marie Experience and Alistair Whitehead, and now in his Kickflip breaks guise has had a steady stream of releases on Akademia, Choo Choo Limited and the well respected Fat! Recordings, and has remixed for the likes of Groove Diggerz, Kid Blue and Future Funk Squad.Currently developing his sound and producing new singles for Fat! Records and Sheffield's Trixta Recordings amongst others, as well as collaborations in the works with Future Funk Squad and MI Loki, there's plenty more ruffige to be heard from this lad yet.Kickflip also hosts a weekly show on NSB Radio , between 7pm and 9pm GMT every Sunday, showcasing his own unique brand of hip hop, funk, techno, hardcore influenced breaks... and if you're lucky, he might do a bit of scratching to spice things up even more.
