Biography
THE PAST:
Kyle started his journey locked in his bedroom, armed with a stack of vinyl spending many hours on the 1210’s, practicing the art of beat matching. Using this skill he went on to teach teenagers at a local workshop.
Before he even attempted to use new age DJ technology, he wanted to be able to say "YES I USED VINYL". Not a lot of DJ’s his age can use that statement.
He got his black belt in beat matching, now it's time for the future!
Getting his first job in a local nightclub glass collecting, it didn’t take long before he was on the decks. This is where he started to get grips with the Pioneer magic, effects units, DJM 800 mixer. After a while, he started to put on quite a show, and more and more punters showed up on a weekly basis….. Kyle Rees was here to stay!
Kyle’s first gig out of his comfort zone was for a newly formed night called Palooza. It had only been running a few months. Resident Symon Elliott invited him to play the first hour which was labelled “In New DJ’s We DON’T Trust” giving new bedroom DJ’s a chance to prove themselves. Kyle only ever did the warm up set once, he filled the dance floor quicker than any other DJ did and kept them there! He was invited back a few months later again and again. He warmed up for the likes of:
- Paul Morrell (MOS / Gatecrasher).
- Adam Shaw (Mau5trap).
- Kelevra.
- Uber DJ’s.
- Filthy Rehab.
- Rossco Brumell (Rock n Rolla).
- Jackinori & Little Bastard (Afterparty – Hudderfield).
- The Squatters (Sessions / Judgement Sundays / What's Your Status).
Ibiza residents:-
- Dermot Condon (Plastic / Pukka Up).
- Jay Moore (Play2).
- Vicky Devine (Charleys angels / Judgement Sundays).
- And of course, Palooza favourite's FILTHY DISCO!!!
He also became a monthly resident at Palooza @ the Sugar Mill, Hull.
- CultureShock festival in Harrogate.
- The Squatters own branded night - What’s Your Status?
- Sessions – The Big One with Kissy Sell Out (@ The Spa Scarborough) in the B room.
