Kevin Knapp is one of tech house’s greatest chameleons. Between his coveted work with Jamie Jones’ renowned Hot Creations imprint, to Dirtybird, DFTD, Truesoul, and more; Knapp’s solidified an effervescently amorphous standing as a commanding force in the subgenre, dominating club floors across the world in the interim. After cutting his teeth in San Francisco throughout the oughts, Knapp moved to Berlin and went on to debut a multitude of records, including his Hot Creations’ record “Heft” that became the catalyst for Knapp’s more global success. Relocating to Europe in early 2013 had brought about friendships with the likes of Pan-Pot, Tiefschwarz, and Sacha Robotti. Not only has Knapp become a fixture on the global circuit and a club scene heavyweight over the years, but his collaborations have come full circle; he’s collaborated once again this year with Audiojack on a new piece called “Implications.” It’s through both Knapp’s willingness and wholehearted desire to represent the underground that he is poised to forever succeed.
