1. Original Mix
From spinning early breakbeat/rave tracks in Edinburgh’s institute of dance music The Venue in September of 1990, on to residencies at Edinburgh's legendary club night Sublime, Pivo Cafe and Low Gravity @ The Liquidrooms, Kev's unique fusion of deep and driving tech-styles has led him to become one of the respected figures within the Scottish club scene. Since 1993, his radio shows and guest mixes on Forth 1, Kiss FM, Beat 106, Fresh Air, BBC Radio Scotland, Clyde 1 and Dex FM have given him the opportunity to push his sound to an even wider audience.
Having played over 30 guest mixes on East/Central Scotlands premier station Forth 1 between 1993-95, he eventually moved on to present his own Saturday night show on Forth in 2002. He has released under his KPAXX guise and Kev Wright since 1999, with vinyl releases on Well Wicked, Addictive records and Plastic Fantastic, moving into the digital age with remixes and releases on Plusquam, Plastic Music, Adjust Recordings, Helevetica Noir, Fixate,Toxic Beats, Beat Therapy and Quanza from 2007 through to present day.
Debuting his new single “So Nice”, Kev now makes his first appearance on the Black Hole Recordings sub label Avanti. With his new single, Kev explores the edges where progressive begins and techno ends. Driving the entire track with a bass heavy combination of beats and synths, “So Nice” subtly gains momentum and almost reaches an hypnotic level. Definitely a sure shot for both genres, “So Nice” is the excellent cut for techno and progressive DJs.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Avanti! presents one of the hottest house anthems for the summer of 2013. The Scotish lad Kev Wright lands with his incredible production with the self-descriptive title So Nice! Its title is the first thought that comes to your mind when you will check out his production. "Mate this is So Nice!" Certainly is no doubt about it. He combines elements of progressive and tech house into one huge melting pot and delivers his futuristic slice of upfront Ibiza style house anthem. Tribal techy beats, funky playful and sexy basslines, cool balearic style melodies and wide variety of vocal samples from female ones to dark male spoken vocal samples inviting us to dance with this banger all night! It makes you feel good and carry your spirit to a nice and surprising journey of love. If you feel in that old school balearic house mood but translated into the current house sound of now, So Nice is the track you are looking for to get now and feel the same..Love iT!
