The Mirror Dance presents K15 (Wild Oats / Eglo)
We’re ecstatic to be welcomed back to one of Edinburgh’s finest institutes – Sneaky Pete’s for evening of jazz, soulful house and broken beat courtesy of K15!
Part of the new wave of the London hybrid jazz scene, Kieron Ifill, more commonly known as K15 is at the forefront of this fresh new sound coming out of London. Drawing influences from everything from jazz, hip-hop, broken beat and soul, to house and techno. K15’s sound is unique but made from the same silk as likes of Floating Points, Henry Wu and Dego.
K15 grew up on hardcore and jungle in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s in London, he would listen to his older brothers rave stories while saving up his pocket money to buy records. As he got older, new sounds were emerging from the London Underground scene, garage and house being the main ones. These genres rubbed off on K15 and are undoubtedly noticeable in his production.
K15 has been producing music for well over a decade now, his first major release which catapulted him into the spotlight was his 2014 ‘Insecurities’ EP which was signed onto Kyle Hall’s, Wild Oats Music label, after Hall discovered some of K15’s Chicago style jazz-House (think Glenn Underground) via Soundcloud.
As well as being a seasoned producer, K15’s DJ career has seen him graduate from curious bedroom DJ to international touring DJ, thanks largely to a lengthy stint as warm-up DJ for a night called UK Soul Jam (no relation to our Soul Jam) at Camden Town’s The Jazz Cafe in the late ’00s. His affinity with jazz lead him to release a highly-acclaimed 6-track LP under artist name Culross Close followed by ‘Moments’ in 2018, which was released on his own label Esencia.
We can’t wait to have K15 up for for his Scottish debut and to play a 3 hour set for us, at everyone’s favoirte sweatbox!
