With great pleasure, Steve and his ‘VIVa Music’ imprint can finally unleash Knapp’s productive prowess with an infectiously groovy EP; which includes a remix from Jedsa Soundorom.

Whether it be in the studio, on the decks or behind the mic, Kevin Knapp encapsulates the ethos of an artist in the truest sense, totally committed to the progression of house and techno music. His extensive musical talent is evidenced in his impressive discography which reads like a who’s who in the label game, including the likes of Hot Creations, Poker Flat, Leftroom, Truesoul and Gruuv to name just a few.

“I’m overjoyed to be making my first appearance on VIVa Music. It’s actually kind of surreal moment for me as I remember Steve from his Nubreed days and I used to play Adante out a bunch in San Francisco back in the early aughts. He was part of my introduction to electronic music as a whole at that time, and it seems like things have sort of come full circle now with me making tunes he’s signed. Hopefully, I can help to inspire someone else in kind someday. Stoked to be doing what I love and I owe that privilege to all the genuine heads and hearts out there that seem to be feeling what I do on some level. Appreciate ya, make it bump” – Kevin Knapp

Once the Austin-bred, San Francisco-schooled producer moved to Berlin in 2013 his career truly ignited; the techno capital quickly led to Knapp fielding calls from new neighbors, Pan-Pot and Tiefschwarz, while his touring schedule led to him playing at some of the biggest stages in the world. His undoubted talent and dedication to house and techno has drawn further acclaim from Claude VonStroke and Ricky Ahmed.
