Kid Massive - A Little Louder
Release Date: 5th March 2012

You'll probably have heard the name Kid Massive because of his huge 2008 hit 'Get Busy' and the subsequent reworks he did of 'Music is the Answer' and 'Touch Me (in the morning)' the 2nd of which was picked up by Roger Sanchez's Stealth Records.

Fast forward to 2010 by which time he had clocked up support from dance music’s elite including Roger Sanchez, TV Rock, Bob Sinclar, Eddie Thoneick and Avicii and continued to gain respect with releases “Pride (A Deeper Love)” and “Home”. The first of these, a rework of the C&C Music Factory classic, complete with an epic remix from John Dahlbäck, gained radio support across the globe and achieved shining reviews in both IDJ and Mixmag, propelling it to number 5 in the UK Buzz chart.

Hot on its heels came “Home”, the powerhouse collaboration between KM, Grammy Award winning artist Paul Harris from Dirty Vegas, Michael Gray of Full Intention fame and sultry vocalist Sam Obernik. Hailed as ‘Ibiza summer magic’ and championed by Pete Tong on Radio 1, “Home” hit an even more impressive number 2 in the UK Buzz Chart and number 5 in the Cool Cuts Chart.

And now in 2011 the first single from the same named album “A Little Louder”, featuring legendary house vocalist Peyton, has blown up to epic proportions with an incredible list of achievements: number 5 UK Club Chart, no 19 UK Cool Cuts Chart, no 10 UK Buzz Chart, number 38 Beatport Top 100, number 11 Beatport House Chart, number 19 Australian ARIA Club Chart, number 3 DMC World Chart and number 2 DMC UK Chart. The unmissable remix package from TV Rock, Bassjackers, Muzzaik and Damian William garnered heavy support from national UK and French radio stations, plus the likes of Tiesto, Fatboy Slim, Roger Sanchez and Chuckie, remaining in the Beatport Charts for a whopping 5 months.

This new album, his first solo project, has 12 tracks of the most subliminal house music I've had the pleasure to hear for a very long time. It's full of funky,bouncy, chunky and addictive tunes. 

The outstanding tracks on the album, for me, are 'Get Wild', 'Don't Cry' and 'Heaven', but none of them would disgrace any dance floor and I predict that this album could well be the hit album of the summer.

You can imagine yourself dancing on a beach to any one of them. This is a great debut album from an important new talent and is highly recommended.
