WMusicians have been making music about love and heartbreak for hundreds of years and Kidnap Kid’s statement on the eternally relevant topic starts with' BrokenHearted',a track that taps into the memory vaults. Next up is 'Mist' whose simple melody is layered over intricate sounds to create an immensely absorbing track.
The start of 2016 saw Kidnap Kid launch his Birds That Fly imprint as a platform for his own music as well as a means to support like minded producers, such as Applebottom and Amtrac, both releasing on the label with great success. The label’s debut release was from Kidnap Kid himself and ‘ Moments’ was met with such high acclaim it collectively reached 10 million streams, 1.3 million of those coming from Spotify and subsequently made the Spotify chart in over 10 countries. It was championed by several Radio 1 DJs and was the closing record for many, including Maceo Plex who closed his set at CRSSD festival with the track.

No Order’ is a? “deeply emotional and darkly ?atmospheric track”. Billboard Only three releases in and Kidnap Kid’s Birds That Fly is proving to be one of the most prominent UK labels with knockout releases so far coming from Kidnap Kid himself and Bristolian Applebottom. Keeping the standard sky high, this next offering comes as an epic double hitter from US native Amtrac. Caleb Cornett aka Amtrac has been pushing his creative limits as a producer, DJ, musician and vocalist since 2008. Through this release he skillfully creates feelings of elation and euphoria sharply contrasted with a moody and melancholic ambience. He explains how ‘No Order’ is like a movie score for the club, diving deeper with it’s dark atmosphere. Big ups to Kidnap Kid. I love the direction he’s taking with the label musically and aesthetically.” Raised in Kentucky but now based in LA, multi-talented artist ?Amtrac can electrify an audience with his moving live performance and his driving, funk-filled DJ sets. He recently released ‘Those Days’ featuring vocals from Stevie Wonder & Marvin Gaye on legendary UK label Toolroom Records followed by the ?‘Lost In Motion’ EP, which really gave a snapshot of where he is at musically. Never content to settle, Amtrac’s musical mood and influences change with each passing season. His ambition and curiosity keep him locked on the edge, always happy to experiment with new techniques and sounds.

Applebottom has come to be considered a beatmaker able to transverse genres with that rarest of production talents: the consistent ability to make a straight-up club banger, which makes him the perfect follow up for Birds That Fly. “‘TheRide’ was quite a diff?erent piece of music for me, ’he explained of the track, ‘I had been thinking about where I'd want to release it and I was pretty stuck. But shortly after I'd finished it Kidnap Kid’s first EP on Birds That Fly came out, and straight away I felt a connection with the sound and a lot of the music I’ve been making recently. It already feels like it has a clear and distinctive sound forming and I can't wait for my music to be part of that.” Applebottom hails from the musical mecca of Bristol but shares a pioneering view of its style and output. “?I think a lot of people have just gotten too comfortable making the same sounding dance music - and for me that kind of defeats the point, there’s so much variety in it. I feel that particularly for my generation anyway, we’re a lot younger as producers and it’s kind of our job to be that next generation that produces that next sound. We should be striving to make something new and different and build our own vision of what it should be.”

Kidnap Kid kickstarts his new label with an anthemic and emotive production that is arguably his best to date. ?‘?Birds That Fly’ ?is an indelible cut that’s timeless in nature. It's accelerated by an equally moving and slick production, ‘?Moments’ feat Leo Stannard?, a captivating classic in original form as well as the paired instrumental mix. 'After releasing on a number of great labels over the past few years, I'm excited to have one to call my own. Birds That Fly was born of the need for a home that felt in harmony with my musical aesthetic. I'm looking forward to releasing the music I love over th?e years to come.' - Kidnap Kid
Kidnap Kid's versatility is what shines here. Treading a winding path, he originally made his home on the Black Butter label, but has since spread his wings to encompass a more underground aesthetic. This journey has led to the conception of ?Birds That Fly?, a home for his own and other likeminded producers and a platform that will no doubt be a compellingforceinthecomingmonths.Th?e? vocalson‘?Moments’belongtosingerandsongwriter?LeoStannard?,?who at only 20 years old is also part of the Black Butter family, and was recently supported by BBC Introducing.
