Biography of Keith Kemp
electronic music producer :: disc jockey :: audio software enthusiast
A Detroit native, Keith’s exposure to electronic music via Industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy and Brian Eno sparked an early infatuation with synthesizers and audio software. Club life after high school inspired Keith’s interest in spinning records, connecting the dots to Detroit artists such as Plastikman, Underground Resistance and Carl Craig.
He has since focused on various creative areas of electronic music: DJ, producer, operating a label, and performing his own music live.
DJ:
Keith’s gigs have seen him headline alongside almost every prolific producer to have graced the electronic music stage in the past decade. A highly regarded technical performer, Keith’s sets combine his love of house, Industrial and German minimalism with Detroit techno. Sharing his taste in quality music with people as a DJ, he has traveled across the United States and performed at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2002 and 2005. After strictly DJing for a few years, he took the next logical step by cutting down his schedule and returned to his machines, working hard on his own unique take on electronic dance music.
LIVE:
Blending the ethics of minimal techno with the moods and feel of house music has helped Keith in the creation of a live p.a. His passion for music technology, whether hardware or software, has allowed Keith to continually develop his live performances in a modern micro-house sensibility. His live performances are best described as a deft fusion of percussion programming, sub-atomic bass lines, and melodic flourishes.
Keith regularly performs live for revered Detroit promoters Paxahau and Freshcorp.
PRODUCTION:
Manipulating computers, samplers and synthesizers, Keith is revered amongst local producers for his technical prowess. Infused with the digital tools of the present, drifting between work and music, he has released various 12″ and remix work for Out Of The Box, Ferrispark and Frik ‘n’ Frak. Look for a solo 12″ for D records and Beretta Grey in 2007.
