I’m back from my holiday, hooray! I’ve been visiting the probably best festival in Europe, the fusion to see some of the finest German artists perform, and I can tell you: Minimal is still huge there, but after a couple of hours time to adapt I got into it again. And with fifteen stages, there is always something new to discover, my personal highlights were Wevie Stonder, Bong Ra and Duran Duran Duran. Now my batteries are recharged, and we can resume our trip through the wonderful world of music.

Many artists use the word kid in their artist name, but seldom they really are underaged. However, Znippy Kid, or Philip B.  choose a quite fitting name, as he is a 15 years old producer from Hanover, Germany, who started to play around with DJ Software when he was 12 years old. One year later, he began to produce dirty house, fidget and electro house tracks as his favourite genres.

His first track got released on Plasma.Digital just last week, a remix for Bymont Bros. and Feral, which you can listen to and buy on beatport. Now he sent me the track Glitchy Dope for an exclusive dancendancen.com release:

Znippy Kids first blog release is a solid electro house track. The bassline is already punchy enough to make your feet stomp, the melody is still a little ricket, but fulfills its job well enough. Especially in the breaks you can hear the talent this young guy has, he surely took his time to learn from the generation before him.

I’m amazed of this promising young  fellow, and I’m sure it’s not the last time you will hear from Znippy Kid. Thumbs up!
