Biographies
Affectionately known by peers as the “ambient boy from Singapore”, Kin Leonn is a Singapore-born and currently London-based, composer and producer. Kin Leonnʼs transportive music projects as founding member of electronic act ‘midstʼ and his genre-melding solo DJ sets, have instituted him as an in-demand music presence in the cityʼs thriving electronic underground. 2018 saw Kin Leonn release his debut solo album Commune on KITCHEN. LABEL, winning praise from the likes of KEXP (USA) and BBC radio (UK). Layering a hybrid of textural synthesis and organic compositions, Kin Leonn’s compositions are often borne from the piano, but continue to evolve into a non-linear interplay of synthesisers, guitar drones and techno excursions.
KITCHEN. LABEL is a Singapore and Tokyo-based independent record label focusing on releasing music that explores the ground between various strains of ambient, neo-classical and the avant-garde. Founded by Singapore-born Ricks Ang in 2008, the label has since grown and extended its base to Japan where it has received wide recognition for its artistic output and distinctive aesthetic. KITCHEN. LABEL documents momentary flickers of melancholic beauty in unlikely environments.
