About Me


Kevin Valentine
Kevin Valentine’s distinct clubthumpers are guaranteed to rock any dance floor right down to its foundations. Trance-friendly and ready for the clubs, Valentine’s compositions capture both the requisite hooks and in-the-now feeling with real artistry and organic strength. Deeply woven textures and absorbing atmospheres emanate from Valentine’s music like radiation off uranium. Dance fans and aficionados of electronica will find themselves head over heels in love with Valentine’s work. There’s no question about it.
Free, Strong, Wise
These three words are the definitive traits, as far as Valentine is concerned, that music should possess. Music should be liberating and cathartic, a cleansing pulse that runs through the listener and prepares him for the morrow. Songcraft gives strength, encouragement and inspiration to an audience, leaving them stronger than when they first heard the music. Finally, music is about self-exploration and one comes away from the best music a little wiser and more self-knowledgeable. Valentine strives to place all of these qualities into every composition. Take one listen to any Valentine track and you’ll see that his efforts are successful.
Imagination
Imagination is a vital element of music. It should stimulate the creative juices in all who hear. Imagination wrought from music can also be a tool for inward/outward journeying (something electronic music is especially suited to when crafted by the right artists). “Music is a record of a journey that should kick start the imagination.” These words from Valentine lie at the heart of his musical philosophy, which says that songs out to engage the listener on all levels from mind to emotion, create a journey, a trip, an excursion and a study of the self and everything around the self to which self relates.
Life Experience
Life should have intensity and real LIVING in it to feel and experience. This is the drive behind Valentine’s music. “I’m most inspired by adventure and experience. All music is my influential force.” Life is to be lived, not squandered. The heart of the adventurous believer, the one who lives free, is the sort of energy that propels Valentine’s works. It’s why listeners both on and off the dance floor can wholeheartedly embrace his songs.
Kevin Valentine
What it all boils down to is that Kevin Valentine is a force to be reckoned with in the dance community and the music world at large. He is a force the music world will consider, over and over again, as success comes hammering at his door like his propulsive beats hammer the dance floor.
