In recent years there have been releases with the likes of the mighty Viewlexx of Holland, and England’s Flight Recorder and Red Laser Records. He’s also released tracks as part of compilations with 030303 Records and Fundamental Records. This exposure to his music has enabled him take his live sets across Europe in the past few years where he’s rocked his ‘classics’ and tested out his ever-growing unreleased works. In the studio and on stage it’s a blend of software and hardware, the old and the new. The music takes heavy inspiration from underground synth music such as italo disco, house, electro, new beat and wave. Kid Machine’s focus is firmly on the future, and moving things forward, using that inspiration in interesting new ways. His full debut album was released by Cyber Dance in 2014. From his Live Set, you can expect: Epic, space, darkness, emotion, slow-motion, heavy, chugging, military.

Flemming Dalum: "During my lifelong search for italo and other electronic music from the 80ies - I stumbled over Kid Machine. His unique sound and style immediately blew me a way - and I had to present his fantastic tracks in one of my mixes. Dragon and Replicants kick started Kid Machine career – watch out for more !" (Flemming Dalum – Moustache / Cyber Dance / Roller Disco / Bordello A Parigi / Flexx / Panama Racing / Magic Waves ) James Penrose: Kid Machine is undoubtedly one of the greatest Italo-Electro producers to emerge this year and is in fact so good that he gives even the original classics a run for their money!!" (James Penrose - Magic Waves Radio / Cyber Dance Records / Casionova) Markus Schneider: "I really love Kid Machine's dark Italo-electro-disco-influenced synth sounds. They always remind me of John Carpenter soundtracks. His productions are essential, don't miss them! He transforms my favorite vibes from old underground Italo Disco tracks into dark, contemporary electro-disco grooves." (Markus Schneider - The Robot Scientists / Emerald & Doreen Recordings) Gert Nygaard: "Having had Kid Machine's musical ventures on the radar for a while, I've enjoyed the continued refinement of his unique sound. The passion for Italo flavors and talent has made Kid Machine a strong brand to watch out for." (Gert Nygaard - Skycreaker / Relux Music Group)
