K.I.M

K.I.M

Being introduced to Drum and Bass/Jungle music in 1998 by her cousin inspired K.I.M to listen to various radio stations (including pirate stations), such as: Soundz FM, Rude FM and Kool FM on a regular basis. At the end of the nineties when the darker side of the music began to evolve she was blown away with some of the music being released from producers such as Ed Rush & Optical, Goldie, Klute, Digital and Spirit to name a few.

K.I.M started to record radio sets, purchase jungle/drum and bass cassette tapes and rave tape packs, for her 15th birthday she was given Numark decks, that’s when she started to DJ Vinyl. Around 2001, she started going to events such as: Renegade Hardware, Movement @ Bar Rumba, Tech:nology, Intent 2 Supply, Essence of Chi and Middleskool, this gave her the inspiration to start progressing further.

In 2002 K.I.M volunteered to work for a record label called “Offkey Recordings” where she managed their accounts and in 2003 her record collection had grown nicely up to this point, she was then given the opportunity to have her own weekly Wednesday show on ukrumble and having alongside her MC Carnage.

In November 2004, K.I.M had to take a break due to the birth of her daughter, which this did not stop her from recording DJ sets, promoting, mixing and raving.
During this time and after submitting some demos, K.I.M then had some regular playouts and residencies at local D&B events around Kent and South London (Organised Noize, Social Experiment and Armageddon), from there she went on to play at other events such as Terraforms in Oxford which gave her the chance to promote her name further afield. K.I.M was then invited as a guest on internet radio stations such as: UKBass Radio & Manorizm.

In June 2019 K.I.M and her husband Catalyst.AD were asked for the first time to play at Middleskool Bar 512, London as a husband and wife combo, this then lead onto being asked to play at “From the Vaults” in August 2019, Deptford as a combo also, with this K.I.M & Catalyst.AD launched their record label Conjunction Recordings with their first release of the “Coming Home” EP. K.I.M and Catalyst.AD also provided a 1hr promo mix for this occasion.

Since the record label launch K.I.M has been approached for interviews from: DrumandBasics, Ravereport and In-Reach magazine.

In 2020, K.I.M continues to DJ, Market, advertise and manage her record label with her husband. K.I.M is now in the process of learning production and this year K.I.M will have her first duo release out with Catalyst.AD.
