About Kelvin
I started life in the music industry as an MC. I use to spit bars on dnb when I first started out nearly 30 years ago. I then moved into mcing for a friend of mine DJ ATK on UK GARAGE. We used to go up and down the country most weekends and our 2 biggest gigs was at the very first Global Gathering in the Sidewinder tent, the other was Halloween Sidewinder and the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes. My name back then was MC Sentinel, and I loved performing for the crowds, the music started shifting towards Grime and my love for it fizzled out, due to having other commitments and having to hold down a full time job. My affinity to underground music never stopped there and I had made a lot of friends within the music community.
My story
A friend of mine lent me his CDJ’s in 2012 as I wanted to learn to mix back then it was Dubstep I was really into and just taught myself how to mix. I was collecting a lot of music then through other friends that were djs and really liked the Tech House sound so started to mix that. I got myself onto a pirate station DISTINCT FM and played as many slots as I could but something was always missing from the music I liked to play and as I started hearing more and more vocal driven music I eventually found myself playing Soulful/Deephouse. The name Kelvin Kevlar came from the Dubstep/Tech House era and I just kept it going. Now Kelvin brings a love of the distinctive soulful house sound to the dancefloor. My sets combine dark grooves, soulful vocals and infectious rhythms creating energy from the very first track.
The sound
Underground soulful and deep house grooves to keep your body moving all night long.
My GTP show
A mosh mash of grooves layered with vocals. Deep South African House and Soulful House from Europe America and beyond.
