Kevin McKay (born 24 May),[1] is a Scottish DJ, electronic musician, record label owner and record producer now based in London.[2][3]
History
McKay studied at The University of Strathclyde from 1989 to 1995.[4] One night in 1991 while DJing at the University's student union he met Andy Carrick. The pair subsequently began collaborating on music together. Three years later McKay secured £2000 of funding from The Princes' Trust to release their music on his Muzique Tropique imprint.[5][6][7]
In 1997 McKay founded Glasgow Underground Recordings. The label has released music by Romanthony, Milton Jackson, Mateo and Matos, Jersey Street as well as productions by McKay himself.[7][8][9]
In 2002 McKay met Myles Macinnes better known by the stage name Mylo, founded Breastfed Recordings and signed Macinnes to the label.[10][11]
In 2003 McKay under the pseudonym Brian Warner produced and mixed the Linus Loves single "Stand Back".[12] It was a cover version of the 1983 Stevie Nicks' song. The track peaked at No. 31 in the UK Singles Chart in November 2003.[13]
In 2004 using the pseudonym Kevin Kennedy, McKay co-produced and mixed the Mylo album Destroy rock and roll[11][14][15][16]
In 2008 McKay signed Grum and a year later set up the Heartbeats imprint to release his music.[17][18]
In 2011 McKay re-launched Glasgow Underground Recordings. The label had been largely inactive since 2004.[19][20]
In 2014 McKay released "Goin' Freak" on the Berlin based label OFF Recordings.[21][22] The single was supported on BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong[23][24] and reached number 4 in the DMC Buzz Chart.[25]
