Kelevra. Uk.
Remix master Paul Kelevra is putting his name at the forefront of Potty Mouth Music, trading in his backstage status for the full on limelight. The Midlands, UK producer/DJ has already remixed for dozens tracks of dance music artists, but this time Kelevra is stepping out in a big, bouncy way with this latest “Clean Jeans EP” on Potty Mouth.
Rising through the vinyl ranks of the dance scene of the late ’90s, Kelevra played clubs on both sides of the Atlantic for more than a decade. Keeping a fun but dirty vibe to his sets, the artist channeled his creativity on the decks into a slew of remix projects for esteemed artists including DJ Dan, Jamie Fanatic, Klaus Hill, Micky Slim and Aquasky, to name a few. Original releases on Wearhouse Music have garnered remix attention from Lee Mortimer, including a rerub of “Grab Ya Funkstick” on the “Bad Dog EP.”
2008 saw Kelevra slide into the Aussie Top 50 dance charts just under Calvin Harris with his remix of Audio Slingers’ “Radio Noise” on Kingdome Kome. He looks to continue the creative momentum in 2009 on the push of a collaborative label with D.O.N.S. Ollie Geodicke called Fidget Kingdom. “Jak Muzik” featuring Whiskey Pete marks Kelevra’s first release on Fidget Kingdom with remixes from Micky Slim, Klaus Hill Jaimie Fanatic & Aniki, alongside a new EP with Jamie Fanatic on the emerging WeAreAllKidz Label.
“I am also working with Mc Flipside & Sharooz who are currently flying high on the back of “Hi Friend” with Deadmau5 & Get Off on Plasmapool for my next single on PBR recordings,” Kelevra says.
When Kelevra is not instigating mischief behind the decks, he is working hard on his own UK-based imprint KrunK, showcasing fresh hip house, fidget and electro tracks by himself and artists across the dance music community. Between crafting and managing, Kelevra’s own work has also garnered support from the likes of Crookers, Kissy, Judge Jules, Tongy and Armand Van Helden.
“I like to think I just bring full on party tunes that I’d like to hear if I was out clubbing—stuff that makes ya want to dance!” he says.
“Clean Jeans EP” includes collaborations with Whisky Pete and Nathan Boon, along with remixes by Kyle Watson and BamBam.
