It is with great pleasure to announce that King Unique (Bedrock) (UK) will playing at Capulet on Friday night , the 15th of April 2016 ..
It has been 10 years since King Unique hit Brisbane to showcase his quirky and eccentric style onto the dance floor ..
King Unique is Matt Thomas, an all round studio junkie and dj with a taste for tripped-out cosmic techno and rough-edged underground house; in a career spanning nearly a decade KU’s distinctive sound has won an enviable global following. A ceaseless schedule of dj sets and festival gigs backed up by relentless studio sessions resulting in scores of records, remixes and radio broadcasts has made the KU sound an instantly recognizable part of the music-life of millions of the world’s clubbers - and a fixture in the vinyl crates, cd wallets and laptops of the world’s most influential djs. Consistently appealing across genres the tracks have been played by everyone from John Digweed to Soulwax, Richie Hawtin to Tiesto, and have turned up everywhere from Hollywood soundtracks to mobile ringtones - not to mention countless compilations and mix albums.
Formed in 2001 by Matt Thomas & Matthew Roberts, King Unique hit the floor running, claiming the title of Undisputed Remix Champs by scoring five Essential New Tunes in five months on Pete Tong's "Essential Selection" Radio 1 show. A US Billboard Dance Chart number 1 for the remix of Dirty Vegas’ “Walk Into The Sun”, plus two more solo Essential New Tunes for Matt under his Watkins and Mainframe alter-egos saw KU firmly cement their place amongst the ranks of first-call remixers. The King Unique production touch has been in constant demand since, appearing on more than sixty remixes and yielding some of the biggest dance floor bombs known to man - Underworld's "Two Months Off", The Killers "Somebody Told Me", Planet Funk’s “The Switch”, Luke Slater "Feels Like Love", and Tracey Thorn’s "Grand Canyon".
2006 saw the end of the original duo’s studio partnership, as Matt Thomas took on the King Unique role as a solo artist. The four years since have seen the KU sound rise to new heights with a mixture of euphoric acidic melodies, dark brooding techno vibes and old skool beats. This new 'cosmic techno' has found it's home on John Digweed's Bedrock label with the release of "2000000 Suns" and the KU / Anthony Pappa collaboration “Vamoosh”. Backing up the new material have been remixes of John Digweed’s “Bilder”, Hernan Cattaneo’s “Teleport”, Fergie’s “PCP” and an on-going association with James Lavelle’s UNKLE project that has so far resulted in five stunning re-workings; “Heaven”, "Heavy Drug", “The Answer”, “Reign feat. Ian Brown” & “Rabbit In Your Headlights feat. Thom Yorke” - all adding up to reaffirm Matt's status as one of the most versatile and consistent producers of the last ten years.
The renowned King Unique dj set has made KU a regular addition to the line up of some of the world's most respected clubs and biggest festivals, playing everywhere from ultra-hip blacked-out sweat boxes in Tokyo to euphoric crowds of thousands on the tropical beaches of Madeira. An increasingly hectic international schedule has seen Matt racking up enough air-miles for a free trip to the moon, with gigs in Sydney, Panama, Budapest, Seoul, Helsinki, Mexico City, Dubai, Rosario, Bogota, Kazantip, Vilnius - just to name a handful. Since the very first shows Matt has pushed at the cutting edge of the technology revolution that's swept through club culture, taking laptops, new gadgets and studio gear into the booth. 2010 saw the addition of the near mythic Monome controller to the sonic armoury - part track-mangling Ableton controller and part psychedelic light show, lovingly hand built by techno-hippies in the Catskill Mountains.
Matt + Mac + Monome = Beats + Bleeps = KU Live

Cìrukè (Conic Records, Freakin909, Illogic Music, Hotfingers Records)
Predominantly residing in House, Tech House, and Techno - Cìrukè, is the electronic moniker of Australian based Music Artist, Cassandra Kemp.
At the core of everything that Cìrukè does, is her musical background and unique point of view - as singer, songwriter, musician, producer and DJ. Cìrukè’s feeling-based approach to music, “favours mood, flow, and relevance to the moment - over genre. It’s about a track’s quality and feel.” It is this raw and honest connection to music, which drives Cìrukè’s desire to push the boundaries of her craft, and most accurately captures her as an artist.
Since adopting the Cìrukè alias in early 2015, Kemp has continued to establish herself on the Australian Electronic Music Scene, acquiring residencies at Australian underground events - Ma Maison (BNE), House Vibes/La Vibrations (BNE/GC), and Housework (BNE) - travelling both regionally and interstate to headline/play events in Melbourne [OneSixOne/Circus](VIC), Sydney [YOURS, The Sly Fox](NSW), Central QLD [Dark Forest Festival], the Gold Coast [The Loft], and Brisbane [XY2/ Oh Hello!/Lychee Lounge/ Super WhatNot/ Capulet/ BaoDownNow].
First and foremost, Cìrukè’s sets are devoted to taking herself, just as much as the crowd, on a journey. With a stylistic approach that is unashamedly eclectic, Ciruke is known for her dynamic presence behind the decks – blending the likes of Deep, Driving, Melodic, Detroit, Minimal, Tribal, World, and Progressive grooves – into her signature, and constantly evolving, sound. Cìrukè never approaches, or mixes anything the same way twice – “the muso in [her] craves that live, unplanned element, which fully immerses [herself] in the moment, and truly connects [her] with the music.
As a Producer, Cìrukè has upcoming releases sitting right across the Electronic spectrum. With musical influences that range from her instrumental/ acoustic beginnings, to being heavily influenced by the likes of Faithless, Above & Beyond, Robert Miles, Imogen Heap, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers - and not surprisingly, heavyweights of the Underground such as Solomun, Nina Kraviz, John Tejada, Carl Cox, Maya Jane Coles, and Eats Everything - it’s little wonder why Cìrukè feels most comfortable, creating freely, and without genre limitations.
The first half of 2015, saw Cìrukè unleash her Percussive House remix of Southlight’s #1 Kiss FM Dance Track, You & I - featuring huge, warm, synth-stabs and rolling basslines - which clocked airplay on KISS FM Australia. In October, came forth her dark/melodic Techno remix of BK Rogers’ track, 'Love In The Music' – which dropped on London based Label, Kingdom Kome Cuts - with the EP garnering International support pre & post-release. Now in early 2016, Cìrukè is preparing to unleash an extensive catalogue of releases, including an EP on fast-rising Techno Label, Illogic Music (Italy), and a number of solo-productions featuring her vocals.
Former/upcoming guest vocal collaborations include; We Got To Let It Go - House Of Virus (UK/Lithuania) ft Cassandra Kemp [Hotfingers Records], No Good – House Of Virus & Bobby Blaze ft Cassandra Kemp [Freakin909], Southlight- Hypnotize Me ft Cìrukè [Southlight Records], and Chris Geka & Tecca (France/Spain) & Cìrukè – The Chase [Label TBA].
Having just finished a January tour of Sydney/Melbourne, which included headlining at Disco Volante, Cìrukè’s growing momentum is now shifting abroad. With an Australasian tour penned for April, and dates planned for the UK, Europe, and the US in later 2016 - Cìruke, is gearing up for one fast-paced year.
