The show blended classical music, and computer-voiced fictional characters with an exclusive selection of remixes created specifically for the show called "Kissy Klub Versions". With this radio show Kissy became an influential force in the developing electro scene not just as a producer but as a taste-maker too. Notable artists such as Diplo, Felix Da Housecat, Hervé, Uffie & Erol Alkan made regular appearances alongside exclusive tracks Kissy supported which kick-started careers for a long list of breakthrough producers and DJs〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zeds Dead featured on NOW Magazine - Live Coverage at The Kool Haus • Dim Mak )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kissy Sellout Favourites "The Squatters" Sign to 23rd Precinct Music! )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Foamo - Circle Talent Agency )〕 across the globe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judge Jules, Gilles Peterson among DJs leaving Radio 1 )〕 As Kissy grew more experienced, his live DJ shows began to focus on his ability to mix records of all genres together on four Pioneer CD decks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kissy Sell Out - DJsounds Show 2011 )〕 A signature trick he developed on his radio show and live tours was to put electro beats over classical pieces of music. This is something which began to attract media attention when was invited to speak at a formal debate at the Cambridge Union against Stephen Fry about the relevance of classical music to the youth of today in May 2011. When not working on his own music, much of his time as a music producer is spent mentoring fresh names in dance music through his label San City High and also by judging DJ competitions such as the Red Bull Thre3style UK tour. Kissy has often been described by the press as being a staple of the east London electro scene, and most of his records are produced at San City High Studios in the Shoreditch/Brick Lane area. Kissy spent his teenage years growing up in Colchester, Essex. It was during his adolescent years growing up there that he became obsessed with records by Nirvana, Aphrodite, Swans, Felix Da Housecat and John Martyn,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kissy Sell Out Artist Profile ) 〕 while dividing the rest of his time between school, DJing at teenage house parties and meeting girls at the local roller-skating rink.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kissy Sell Out Biography )〕 His particular interest is in melodically complex post-modern dance tracks around 128 BPM in tempo. Until 2009 the majority of his musical output as a producer was in remixes for other artists such as Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris, The Human League, Sugababes, Groove Armada and All Saints. It was this early production work that caught the attention of executives at BBC Radio 1. In July 2007 Kissy Sell Out was signed by BBC Radio 1 to present a monthly instalment of a specialist dance music show called ''In New DJs We Trust''. In October 2008 he permanently took over Eddie Halliwell's Thursday night slot to host his own weekly show called the ''Kissy Klub''. His radio show covered a selection of musical styles and genres with the tracks often seamlessly mixed together. A feature of his radio shows was the Kissy Klub Versions, which were unofficial remixes created for the show. His last Radio 1 show was in 2012. Inspired by early recordings of underground drum'n'bass events in the UK, Kissy used to use an air horn during his DJ sets and in June 2007 was pictured on the front cover of ''DJ Magazine'' blasting one into the air. During his final year studying Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art And Design in London, Kissy worked full-time as a design assistant at a high-fashion magazine called ''POP'' Magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kissy Sell Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
