INFORMATION: Recently commended by Roger Sanchez as being “one of the forerunners of producers that had the biggest impact for my dance floor in 2009”, Kid Massive is definitely the one to watch.

Hailing from Denmark and having contributed heavily to the scene there – in 2005 he was awarded “Best Upfront Single” at the Danish Deejay Awards – he now resides in the UK and has watched his profile grow alongside the respect earned from industry ...peers. With a signature style of driving but uplifting house, reflecting sounds across the entire genre and tight production skills to seal the deal, Kid Massive has received support from key figures like Roger Sanchez, Axwell, Laidback Luke, TV Rock and Avicii, to name but just a few.

His first big commercial success “Get Busy” was released in 2008 and has since lead on to hugely popular reworks of the seminal classics “Music Is The Answer” and “Touch Me (In The Morning)” - the latter was released in 2009 on Sanchez’s Stealth Records. More recently, his original production “Thru The Fire” achieved widespread acclaim featuring on radio shows and compilations world-wide.

In 2010 he has kicked things off in appropriate massive style, dropping not one but two huge tracks. Firstly with “Pride (A Deeper Love)”; another rework, this time of the C&C Music Factory classic complete with epic remix by John Dahlbäck. It gained praise from house heavyweights and radio support across the globe, achieved shining reviews in both IDJ and Mixmag and reached number 5 in the UK Buzz Chart.

Hot on its heels has been “Home”, a powerhouse collaboration between KM, Grammy Award winning artist Paul Harris (from Dirty Vegas), Michael Gray of Full Intention fame and sultry vocalist Sam Obernik (notable successes include “Just Won’t Do” and “Baditude”). Hailed as Ibiza summer magic and championed by Pete Tong on Radio 1, “Home” hit number 2 in the UK Buzz Chart and number 5 in the Music Week/Ministry of Sound Cool Cuts Chart – the definitive music industry guide in the UK.

As resident for the famed clubbing brand Kinky Malinki, he regularly plays at London’s infamous clubs including Pacha and superclub Matter, voted number 6 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Club poll this year before its recent closure. Kid’s energetic sets have rocked festival tents and dance floors across the globe this year, as he now turns his studio focus to his highly anticipated debut artist album due for release in 2011.

Eagerly awaiting fans can expect a dynamic range of tracks featuring international talent such as Dutch MC Jay Colin, UK popstress Sam Obernik, Australian indie act Mr Wilson and Tiesto’s favourite vocalist Julie Thompson. Get ready for Kid Massive to unleash an even bigger sound in the coming months!

INFORMATION: Hey buddy!!! smear on some Zink cream, find those moldy board shorts, put on your sunnies, slide into a pair of thongs, grab your surf board, and slip out the door with a wave to Mom and Dad... "see ya later... we’re off to Rip Curl Grom Search 2010!”

The "RipCrl Grom Search" will consist of three one-day events starting on
• Saturday September 18th at Surin Beach, Phuket

So scribble these dates on a note and stick it to the refrigerator door!!!!!

Each day begins with a 7:00 am morning registration and beach clean-up and ocean awareness program with Phuket water safety specialist Steven A. Martin. There will be a free surf clinic (with soft boards supplied by Nautilus Surf Shop) and a free lunch of healthy salads, sandwiches and fruit juice catered by DaVinci’s Restaurant. The surf contest will offer surf heats and finals for the boys and girls of varying divisions resulting in a variety of awards, prizes, and ending with a sunset BBQ beach party and fire- turning show — What could be better!

Learn about ocean safety and the environment!
Everyone is invited to learn about ocean safety and to understand a little more about our local surfing areas — specifically where the rips and sandbanks are. We can also gain insight regarding how to reduce water pollution and the marine garbage pilling up on our Andaman beaches. Kids especially, can gain a new perspective and respect on how to care for the ocean.

The Rip Curl Grom Search is presented by Rip Curl, supported by the Rawai Municipality, Karon Municipality, OBT Chengtalay, Ocean&Earth, Komunity Project, Phuket Post, Nautilus Surf Shop - Kata, 91.5 FM, and Davinci Plaza Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge NaiHarn.
