Kid Fonque

Unique in his ability to merge a myriad of different influences into a style that is entirely his own, Kid Fonque (AKA Allan Nicoll) will be the first to tell you “it’s all one sound at the end of the day”. Whether he’s spinning otherworldly electronica, velvety soul, house laced with saucy samba rhythms, chin-stroking nu jazz or dubstep that makes your ribcage vibrate, a Kid Fonque set will always be fresh, refined and technically adept. This ability to traverse so many different styles, successfully—places him among the country’s most reputable DJs.

Since the late 90s he’s appeared on countless line-ups, playing at virtually all the seminal underground night clubs and festivals around the country. Demand for his sound and skills spilled over SA borders placing 'The Kid' behind the controls at events in Swaziland and Zimbabwe. ‘Two sides of The Beat’ is far more representative of the diversity he’s known and loved for: disc one bulges with 4/4 dancefloor deepness and the second glows with warm global grooves. His debut album 'Kid Fonque and Friends' features contributions from artists such as Zaki Ibrahim and Okmalumkoolkat.
