World Champion
KID FRESH GERMANY Hailing from and based in Hong Kong, Kid Fresh is not only a solid institution in Europe, but also known as one of the key tastemakers and most in-demand DJs in Asia’s club circuit. As a mastermind behind the monthly event series HYPE NASTY at Hong Kong’s superclub VOLAR, his night was awarded Hong Kong’s Best Club Night by Time Out Magazine in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, Kid Fresh released his mix album PEOPLE WANT SUGAR via DIPLO’s MAD DECENT Imprint and created an instant classic that scored praise by some of the biggest names in the industry. He raised his first monument in 2003 as a scratch DJ and turntablist, being the first DJ since David Fascher (1991) to win a World Champion title for Germany. Between 2001 and 2004, he scored 3 Worldwide and 5 National DMC/ ITF DJ Champion belts, being the founding member and mastermind behind one of the world’s most successful turntablist crews LORDZ OF FITNESS as well as one of the mentors (alongside DJ QBERT) of World Record Turntablist and 2007 DMC World Champion DJ RAFIK. HONG KONG Jetting back and forth between Beijing, Bangkok, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, London and Berlin, Kid Fresh has shared bills and stages with the likes of LAURENT GARNIER, CARL COX, DIPLO/ MAJOR LAZER, DILLON FRANCIS, CRAZE, A-TRAK, SINDEN, HOT CHIP, RATATAT, BEYONCE, THE CLIPSE, LIL JON and STEVE AOKI to name but a few. His highly eclectic DJ sets are always pushing boundaries and setting new standards, incorporating forgotten classics as well as cutting edge dance music from all relevant genres. The ultimate combination between knowledge, experience and versatility, and the technical abilities and showmanship of a world champion turntablist enable him read and control any type of crowd.
