Biography
Scottish DJ, producer and label owner Kevin McKay has a discography that spans the last 20 years. He has produced everything from world-renounded dance tracks to cult underground productions and been playlisted by a wide range of djs from Andy Weatherall to DJ Sneak.
He produced and mixed every track on Mylo's platinum album "Destroy Rock & Roll" - including the 4 top 40 singles "Drop The Pressure", "Destroy Rock & Roll", "In My Arms" and "Muscle Car" and the UK Number 3 hit "Doctor Pressure". He was behind the Linus Loves album "Stage Invader" with its singles "The Terrace", "Night Music" and the UK top 40 hit "Stand Back". In the 90s, as one half of Muzique Tropique he has remixed Jori Hulkonnen, Larry Heard, Two Lone Swordsmen and Cassio (amongst others) and under his own name his remixes for artists such as Romanthony, Mateo Matos and Vince Watson have been caned by a-list djs like Kiki, Matthias Tanzmann and Laurent Garnier.
Kevin started his journey into production DJing in Glasgow in the 90s. Hanging out at the Sub Club he was inspired by local DJs Harri and Slam and their soundtrack of Nugroove, Italo House and Balearic Beats. He began collecting 12"s from local stores 23rd Precinct and Raw Records and spent his nights making mixtapes to pass around the local bars and shops. He soon picked up a residency at The Tunnel playing alongside guests such as Sasha, Masters At Work and Roger Sanchez. It was at one of his residencies he met Andy Carrick. Carrick was making dance music and asked for Kevin's help in making his music more DJ-friendly. They put together a 4 track EP and, failing to get a record deal, Kevin decided to apply to the Prince's Trust for the funding to self-release. His first label, Muzique Tropique launched in December 1994. Its debut release - the McKay/Carrick penned "Prelude To The Storm" - sold 2000 copies and the label was off and running.
