KETTAMA
Full-throttle bangers in the house!
- sam. 22 août
For the past few years, KETTAMA is a name that has continued to burn hot on the tips of tongues.
Real name Evan Campbell, the Galway born, London based artist has spent the best part of the last decade bringing the sounds of his native ‘G-Town’ to the world, embarking on a seemingly ever-evolving, never-ending sonic pilgrimage in the process.
From his humble roots in the Irish electronic underground scene, to spreading his wings in the UK and across Europe, KETTAMA now undertakes an unrelenting worldwide touring schedule, most recently with a standout tour across North America, Canada and South America.
With past performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Kappa Futur, Creamfields, Arc Festival, Portola, to name a few, this year is shaping up to be his biggest yet. Currently halfway through an Ibiza residency at the iconic Amnesia nightclub, KETTAMA also hosted a solo Boiler Room show in London which drew over 15000 sign ups, and sold out his biggest London show to date, at the legendary 02 Academy in Brixton on 4th October.
Two years on from landing his Fallen Angel EP, KETTAMA now presents what could be his magnum opus, with his Archangel debut album set to land on Steel City Dance Discs on Friday October 3. Having already released a number of standout singles from the forthcoming record; ‘Yosemite’ with Interplanetary Criminal, ‘It Gets Better’ (Forever Mix), ‘Air Maxes’ with Fred Again.. And Shady Nasty and most recently ‘If U Want My Heart’ ft. KLP with DJ Heartstring, Archangel is primed to be a serious milestone moment in KETTAMA’s unrelenting career.
KETTAMA & Clouds’ Sort It Out was widely hailed upon its release, serving as the official announcement for KETTAMA’s number 1 dance album Archangel, which was released In OCtober. The album’s much-adored focus track, Man With The Second Face, cemented his reputation as one of electronic music’s most exciting names.
Following Archangel, KETTAMA has just released a new collaboration with Fred again.. and Shady Nasty titled HARDSTYLE 2, which is out now. After becoming Mixmag’s October cover star KETTAMA went straight into a sold out USA tour which will see him play to his largest crowds to date.
