“After two years in the Redbox we decided it was time to release the beast that is Kye Gibbon – Foamo – into the fabled Space Discoteca. Certainly one of the better ideas we have had over the years here at Space. One of the hottest acts we have ever booked in terms of feedback from the crowd and one of the nicest people we have worked with, always going the extra mile to accommodate our wishes in terms of online marketing content, mixes, edits etc helping to spread the word”
Mark Broadbent (We Love)
” Kye has absolutely nailed it tonight, F**K ME! ”
Mark Broadbent (We Love) on Foamo’s set Sunday 11th July 2010.
“Kye is smashing it at Space”
Joe Roberts (DJ Mag) Sunday 11th July 2010
It’s not often that talent comes rising through the ranks fully formed, undiluted, and with as much potential as Foamo (aka Kye Gibbon).
For a 21 year old from the sleepy town of High Wycombe, it’s quite an achievement to hit the ground running with his debut single ‘Moving It Over Here’ on Cubism Records surprising established producers old enough to be his dad with the depth and quality of his engineering skills, never mind the absolutely huge bassline!
Since then further release on labels like Wearhouse and massive blog hits for his high profile remixes of The Mystery Jets and La Roux have secured his reputation as one of the UK’s brightest young producers.
Avid Radio support has come from Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank and Pete Tong, Kissy Sell Out, Andy George and Jaymo in addition to club DJ support from The Bloody Beatroots, Fake Blood, Alex Metric from Armand Van.
Foamo’s latest single ‘War Dance’ has been licensed internationally with labels such as Skint, So Sweet Records and Ministry Of Sound. After summer appearances at Electric Daisy Carnival, Truck Festival and Bestival, Foamo will be back on the club circuit this Autumn.
