Kid Crème

Kid Crème is a man on a mission. To deliver quality house music through his productions and DJ sets around the world. He is a perfectionist who will happily delay the release of one of his own records if the bass needs tweaking or the vocals aren’t sitting perfectly in the mix once he has road-tested the track on one of the many quality sound systems around the world on which he plays. Kid Crème aka Nicolas Scaravilli was born in Brussels in 1974 and when the globetrotting is done he still calls Belgium home. Nico formative teenage years were spent learning to spin Hip-Hop and studying music theory & classic piano. Unfortunately expelled from music college in 1991, he decided to set up his own home studio inspired mainly by the London hardcore break beat scene. In 1994, DTM Recordz was born, a label collaboration between Nico, his brother and an old friend. The DTM crew released underground techno records catching the eye of the legendary R&S records who quickly offered them a label deal. Belgian label PIAS saw what was happening and offered him a deal for his techno productions. He accepted the offer and started recording for them under the name Sharpside. Their second release 'Critical Freaks' crossed the techno / house divide and quickly gained support from such varied DJ’s as Dave Angel, Pete Tong , Carl Cox and Judge Jules. With Danny Tenaglia supporting track 'Belgian Resistance', Luke Slater using track ' Telsco Drop' on his album and 'Space Cruising' getting signed to Dave Angel's label, Nico's techno productions were going from strength to strength. In 2001, kid Crème was born with Nico blending the tougher sound of his Sharpside productions with some seriously funky house sensibilities on 'Austin's Groove'. Austins Groove was signed to Subliminal with Eric Morillo adding a Shawnee Taylor vocal on the record. The track got some serious legs when Fatboy Slim dropped it in his now legendary Big Beach Boutique set on Brighton Beach. Around this time his DJ career with Junior Jack really started to take off with Rulin’ at Ministry offering them a residency that lasted 2 years. Classic releases like Hypnotising, Down & Under, Doing My Own Thing and The Game dropped across a mix of major labels and his own illegal Beats imprint. Remixes like his timeless version of Shakedown’s At Night meant that though rare, a new Kid Crème production was always something to take notice of. Thoughout the noughties Kid Crème & Junior Jack toured together – playing the world’s best clubs and festivals and holding down a residency for Defected at their Ibiza Club Nights from 2001 to 2012 spanning El Divino, Pacha & Ushuaia. 2015 saw Kid Crème start to tour as a solo artist as well as dropping new material on Suara (Austin’s Groove 2015) and Positiva (Look For Me) as well as making public a string of his most killer edits including his take on Rodriguez’s Sugarman and Adeva’s In and out of my life.
