Coming from a highly musical family of jazz vocalists, opera singers and pianists (his uncle, Sir Roland Hanna, played with Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington), 19-year-old Kyle Hall is one of the current shooting stars of Detroit electronic music. Hall has been involved in Detroit's house music underground since age 11, when local DJ legend Raybone Jones taught him how to spin records. Subsequently mentored by
Rick Wilhite and
Mike Huckaby, he developed a unique style of rhythmically loose, free-floating house in his lo-fi basement studio, which first appeared on
Omar S' FXHE label, and most recently on respected UK imprints
Hyperdub and
Third Ear Recordings.
