Kidkanevil, a moniker that playfully tributes classic cinematic villainy, is the artistic identity for the UK-based producer and musical auteur, Gerard Roberts. With a sonic palette that merges the ethereality of electronica with the punchy rhythms of hip-hop, Kidkanevil has become a distinctive voice in the underground music scene, garnering attention for his innovative beats and collaborations.

From the dreamy textures of "My Little Ghost" to the East-meets-West fusion in the collaborative project "Kidsuke" with Japanese producer Daisuke Tanabe, Kidkanevil's discography is a testament to his role as a global sonic explorer. His more recent works, such as "Big City Life" and "BUBBLE," continue to reflect his evolution as an artist, embracing influences from contemporary electronic music while maintaining an intimate connection with the hip-hop-influenced rhythms that initially carved his niche in the industry. Not shy of creative partnerships, his track "Coin Game" features the vocal talent of Nakamura Minami, highlighting Kidkanevil's ongoing appreciation for cross-cultural collaboration. Whether it's the jazzy inflections in "Rap Biscuits, Vol. 1" or the monstrous beats in "Kaiju," Kidkanevil consistently pushes boundaries, securing his reputation as a producer with both depth and diversity in his musical storytelling.
