His previous records have received critical acclaim, with ‘London Zoo’ (2008) named Record Of The Year in Wired’s annual critics’ poll, and ‘Angels & Devils’ (2014) ranked #2 on Crack’s Albums Of The Year, Mojo’s Top 10 Albums Of The Year’, #5 in Quietus’ Albums Of The Year and #18 on Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Electronic & Dance Albums Of 2014, plus many more.
‘Fire’ is an exhilarating 14 track album featuring the legendary MCs Moor Mother, Flowdan, Daddy Freddy, Irah, Roger Robison, Nazamba, FFSYTHO, Manga and Logan, and possibly the most ferociously realised and immensely moving music Kevin has ever made. The record is a response to the unique circumstances of the past year and also a chance to reflect on his journey from reclusive sound-obsessive to family man.
