STREAMING AUDIO INTERVIEW

He’s one of Australia’s most revered DJs, having taken out any and every DJ poll and award worth its salt over the past few years. And, although widely regarded as a breakbeat DJ, 2006 saw his direction change, with the Kid now more than likely to drop slamming electro or jacking tech into his sets.

Having just released his latest mix CD for Ministry of Sound, the ‘Clubber’s Guide to 2007’, which was put together alongside longtime friend Goodwill, we thought we’d catch up for a chat. Listen in as Kenobi gives us a rundown on how NYE/NYD panned out, why he’s moved on from the breakbeat tag, and what he’s hoping to achieve with his radio show on Triple J.

Kid Kenobi is now on tour to support the release of ‘Clubber’s Guide to 2007’, out now through Ministry of Sound/EMI. Catch him and Goodwill at one of the following launch dates:
