Kevin D'Cruz

Born to Portuguese-English parents in south London, Kevin began DJ'ing at an early age notably within the London student party scene, playing at warehouses, universities and clubs including Ministry of Sound aged 17. Dragging huge cases of vinyl wherever he played, Kevin's early musical influences where drum n bass, hip-hop and urban, combining these styles in technical turntable performances. Kevin then took a break from the music.

A decade later, and refocused, Kevin went to Ibiza in search of the sound he was craving for. He found it; it was Techno. In 2011, Kevin co-founded Enkrypted Beatz Recordings, a small independent digital label - a project with a group of artists, and remixers, and which gave him his first real insight into music composition and studio life.

In 2012 Kevin turned his attention back to DJ'ing. Starting with a residency at Supernova LDN, a huge monthly party at Egg Night Club in London, Kevin has played alongside established artists such as Kaiserdisco, Danny Tenaglia, Marco Bailey, Andrea Oliva, Mark Farina, Uner, Karotte, DJ 2001, Technasia, Marc Romboy, Edwin Oosterwal, Joris Voorn, Pirupa, Dani Casarano, Joel Mull, Stefano Noferini, Hobo, Julian Perez, Francisco Allendes, and Sharam as well as others. Kevin also played his 1st international booking at Groovefest 2012, Puerto Plata, DR.

Kevin's talents didn't go unnoticed and in 2013 he was added to FACT's artist line up playing alongside Kevin Saunderson, Audiofly, Timo Maas, Satoshi Tomiie, Reset Robot, Guy J, Umek, Uto Karem, and Filterheadz. Kevin also played alongside Yousef and the legendary Laurent Garnier at the highly acclaimed Circus night. Kevin capped off 2013 as a highly productive year by completing his sound engineering studies.

In 2016 Kevin relocated to Ibiza and became the sound engineer for Pacha Ibiza, working and supporting a long list of established artists like Sven Vath, Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin and Solomun throughout the summer season.

Now back in London, Kevin is making new music and working on becoming a full artist. He continues to play vinyl like he did when he was a kid, with joy, freedom and technical polish.
