Kid Kameleon is a beat strategist and technology enthusiast who blends, chops, restructures and generally smashes rhythms from across the sonic spectrum. From breakcore and ragga-jungle to dubstep and grime, with stops along the way at B-More, dub, dancehall, hip-hop, DnB, electro and the straight up unclassifiable, he's a champion of underground sounds and outsider music. The Kid has dropped his fast-paced, eclectic style at parties from California to Estonia, sharing stages with the likes of Kool Herc, U-Roy, DJ Spooky, Asian Dub Foundation, Alec Empire, Squarepusher, The Bug, Vex'd and The Plastician, and many more. A blogger (kidkameleon.com, riddimmethod.net, and localoaf.org), he also writes a monthly column called Basic Needs for XLR8R magazine covering "Low End Necessities from Ragga to Dubstep and beyond". In 2006 he wrote major features on Dubstep, Breakcore, and Berlin's Nu-Dub Scene (Jahcoozi, The Tape, Al Haca, Tolcha, and Shir Khan), and has done short pieces on The Bug, Debaser, Ghislain Poirier, 8 Bit Weapon, Skream, Kode 9, and Dolphin and Teknoist.
