DJ FRENZIC - ATM
DJ Kid is quite simply the backbone of the Scottish D&B scene. Flying the flag and representing for many years now. It take’s people like this to build a scene!

JOHN B – BETA RECORDINGS
DJ Kid doesn’t book me enough, but i'm too scared to herang him about it in case he uses his mighty thai boxing skillz on me.

DJ FRICTION – SHOGUN AUDIO
DJ Kid is the heartbeat of Scottish DNB and has remained at the forefront since the first jungle tune was dropped.

MICKY FINN – URBAN TAKEOVER
DJ biscuit lid, (ryhming slang for DJ Kid) is for me the forefront Drum and Bass DJ in Scotland for the past decade with both putting on events and bringing in the Drum and Bass acts. Big up the man for his continued support of the scene and the music.

DJ PHANTASY - EASY
After playing for you at the Liquid Room alongside UK Apache, I realised what I had been missing all those years you never booked me. But now I've been I want to come back again soon. An absolute great night, in a great club, with great vibes, with great people and most importantly a great crowd. UK Apache and myself loved it up there and have been telling everyone about how good the scene is up there. The sound system was heavy and the vibes were great. Plus one real important thing. I met some really good people up there who I have kept in contact with and will do in the future. Everyone who was there had a wiked night and for those that never made it, you really missed out. Looking forward to getting up there again to drop some dubz on the Scottish massive. Your are doing a great job representing D&B in Scotland and with the support I see from the people in Scotland, long may it continue. You have been representing the music for many years now north of the border and the scene needs people like you that will keep it going even when things get a bit tough for everyone. Just remember one thing to all those out there. Everyone must stick together and support each other and they will all see the scene grow and they will all see the benefits and things they can achieve. Big up all crew.

TANIA – UMC AGENCY
As far as Im concerned Kid is one of the most if not the most important people in the Scottish Drum & Bass scene. He has been a pioneer for over 10 years bringing the country's D&B talent to the scottish people as well as keeping them up to date with the latest tune’s by supporting the record labels. A key figure without a doubt!

MARK XTC - VALVE
DJ Kid is a man of my own heart, he loves to have a good party and likes to please the crowd in front of him when playing out (not playing tunes to make other Djs think hes great?) DJ Kid has been in the game nearly as long as me so its nearly time to call him a veteran.

TOTAL SCIENCE - CIA

DJ Kid is undoublty the godfather of Drum and Bass north of the border in Scotland. He's pushed the genre in Scotland to new heights and continues to do so with his djing,events and label.A true warrior of the scene.

APHRODITE – URBAN TAKEOVER
DJ Kid is a bloke that does loads of great things for the D&B scene in Scotland. Played for him a few times and its always been great. His only downfall is that he supports a dodgy football team that hasn't won a bean since 1932. On that note, when are you going to book me again?

ANDY C – RAM
DJ Kid has been at the very heart of Drum & Bass since day one, he has been instrumental in building Scotland’s scene and representing around the world. Edinburgh's d&b soldier.

ZINC – BINGO
I'm in a lucky position where I fly all round the world and meet DJs and promoters every week. Some of them come and go, then there are a few people that are always there, always working. Kid is one of the latter, a cornerstone for the Drum and Bass scene in Scotland, and an important part of the scene as a whole. He's been the top Scottish DNB DJ for as long as I can remember, and will no doubt continue to remain at the top.

TWISTED INDIVIDUAL - GRID
Big up the original bad bwoy DJ Kid and his crew for bringing me 2 the highlands, he smokes weed like a pussy tho!

KRUST – FULL CYCLE
DJ Kid has helped push the scene in Scotland since the beginning with his club nights and now with the label he has reinforced his status as a die hard supporter of the scene and deserves the highest respect for that.

INFLUX UK - FORMATION
DJ Kid is up to something. I'm hearing some tunes and he's pulling in local talent for the projects. All about repping the locals and pushing the talent, big up!

COLIN STEVENS - KNOWLEDGE MAGAZINE
DJ Kid’s devotion to promoting the Scottish Drum & Dass scene and Drum & Bass in general is legendary. Truly a pivotal figure in shaping the scene north of the border. In march 2005 he was our covermount star with a mix cd of all his labels music. Maximum props from the Knowledge team.

DOC SCOTT - 31
Ok, so we all know Kid is the man in Scotland and has been since the scene set up camp north of the border. But what’s most important to know is that he’s been there through thick and thin, through popular times within our scene and when tastes have changed up there and D&B wasn't as popular. A true warrior who loves Drum & Bass!

FLIGHT - 1 XTRA
DJ Kid has been at the forefront and running things north of the border for as long as anyone can remember, he is also credited with being the first person to invite me up to Scotland to play when he ran Metalheadz for Goldie. He has also been a guest on my show on 1 Xtra. Big up!

APB – FORMATION RECORDS
Once a Kid now a key player in the scene! Always on the case with his selection, so expect a full Drum & Bass experience from the legendary highlander.

PARALLEL FORCES - VALVE
Kid has always been a massive part of the Scottish scene. He's supported our music from day one and always had good advice to give. I always look forward to Drum & Bass nights in Scotland. Big up to DJ Kid for making it that way.

RAY KEITH – DREAD
DJ Kid is a long time business associate and personal friend of mine.His dedication to the scene in Scotland and his club night Manga are hard to rival. Collaborating with G Mac they are without doubt the strongest team in Scotland. They have been on the scene for years and there legendary Manga raves are always a pleasure to play at as well as the newer Jungle Magik nights. Renowned for his rolling jungle mash up style, Kid demonstrates his exemplary DJ skills each and every time I am in Edinburgh. Big up Kid it’s a pleasure working with you.

JB & SPICE – BACK 2 BASICS
It's good to see that Drum & Bass is getting represented in Scotland. This music is global and gets the opportunity to be listened to in every country now. Respect to DJ Kid for his hard work.

ASHATTACK – LIFE RECORDS
DJ Kid the bad man running beats both new and old for years, representing the Scottish side of drum and bass. Keep it real bro cause you no your the real deal.

TOBIE TERA – NU URBAN MUSIC
DJ Kid is easily the biggest pain in the arse out of all the label owners I deal with. I have been trying to palm him off to someone else in the office but unfortunately Kid's reputation proceeds him and no one else will deal with him. I can honestly say that my job and life would be much, much easier if I had never crossed paths with this mad psychotic Scotsman. Were it not for the fact that Kid has constantly represented, not just the Scottish scene, but the Drum & Bass scene as whole I would have washed my hands of him years ago. A bad boy DJ, a true renegade and a friend. Kid - I salute you!

PROBE – KOOL FM
Since his time on Kool Fm many moons ago, DJ Kid has always stayed true 2 D&B never falling off when times are hard. From the early jungle days too now Kid has kept it real up there in Scotland. I personally think Kid doesn’t like Drum and Bass, he loves it!

STRIDER – CO LABS
No one in Scotland has or is rocking things like DJ Kid. I’ve known about him for years (little does the ol jock know) and whenever his name comes up with people I know it’s always good and positive - Big up me old jock dawg!

ROHAN - BASSBIN
DJ Kid gave me my first taste of Scottish D&B and it reminded me of the Irish crowd, wicked night. Big up to the man for pushing the scene for such a long time and still representing to this day. He also gave me my first introduction to a paddy wagon in Dublin but hey thats another story!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - V
DJ Kid and the Manga night have been names we have been familiar with for nearly a decade, being the initial crucial cogs in the Scottish Drum & Bass scene all the way through to the present day. We wish the you all the best for the future and look forward to contributing in the near future.

DILLINJA & LEMON D - VALVE
We had a wicked time up in Scotland when we took the Valve system to Manga. Kid played a heavy set with heavy tunes, totally rinsed it. Big up DJ Kid truly setting the standards for the Scottish DNB scene.

TEE BEE - SUBTITLES
First heard of DJ Kid on a tape which accidently made its way to Norway in 1992. I loved that tape, and little were I to know that about 8 years later I was to rubbing shoulders with him at Manga! A true cornerstone of the Scottish Drum & Bass scene, a good friend, and above all a great DJ.

PATIFE - BRAZIL
What can I say about DJ Kid man. Big time music lover I would say to start and pioneer in Scotland inna the D&B Bizinizz. Heard about him first around 1995 when a friend of mine came to Brazil and brought with him some magazines and Kid was in them. Later in the future I was sharing the Dj box with him. Nuff Respect and keep running the show. Respect from Brazil.

MC TONN PIPER - MANCHESTER
DJ Kid the gladiator of the Scottish D&B Scene. One of the true up North Soldiers!

CLEVELAND WATKISS - LONDON

Big love to the man like Kid coming from Cleveland London town.

SHIMON - RAM

DJ Kid the original highlander without question put Scotland on the Drum & Bass map. Big up yer status Kid!

MC DARRISON - THE FUGITIVE

Well what can I say bout DJ Kid? I first met him several years ago back when I was still called Ragga. D. I've always remembered him as having a great sense of humour,and a drive for being very enthusiastic about his Dj'ing and love for the music. I've performed alongside the Kidsta at Manga in Edinburgh, and also in Glasgow on the boat party, which was both fun and groundbreaking. I remember one particular party with me and J J Frost in Edinburgh, when we got extremely hammered, and I was very ill on the way back home to Brighton the next day. Kid likes to let his hair down but is serious about his work, hence the pioneering he has done across Scotland and uk. I even bumped into him in New York City of all places. I will continue to support DJ Kid in the future, and collaborate on further projects and parties

BRIAN BELLE FORTUNE - Author All Crews
I first met DJ Kid back in '95 at One Nation in Aldershot. He'd driven all the way down from Edinburgh! He'd travelled far and wide on a regular basis in the cause of Jungle Drum & Bass. I've mentioned him in both editions of my book All Crews. What strikes me the most, then and now, is that DJ Kid is a true soldier. I have to salute him for his contribution to our music, hosting two wicked club nights in Edinburgh and running his label Restless Natives Records. I listened to a few of DJ Kid's mixes when I was writing All Crews. One of my favourites was Summertime Selection Part 1. The energy of his tunes and mixes helped my words just flow. I'm embarrassed to say how many times I'd just keep rewinding his music. I'm gutted that I've since lost that CD. Keep up the hard work Kid.

ANT MILES
Since day one! Thanks to you we had Scotland covered ... thanks for all your support geeeez .. Respects .. Ant Miles

DJ KONTROL - RENEGADE HARDWARE
Kid has been running club nights and representing the Scottish Drum and Bass scene from as far back as the scene has existed. No one cares about the future past and present of Scottish Drum and Bass more than DJ Kid and that deserves respect!

SKYNET - SKYNET
DJ Kid is a guy with plenty of passion, drive & skill and this is what’s made him shine through in the competitive world of D&B. Scotland has much to thank this guy for.

KENNY KEN – MIX N BLEND
DJ Kid is the man who put Scotland on the Drum & Bass world map from long time ago and has continued to support the scene through thick and thin. Respect is due!

MARCUS INTALEX - SOUL:R
A true DNB soldier. He has lead the battle above the border for as long as I can remember and is certainly one of the very few people responsible for what is a very healthy scene up there.

RED ONE – RAM
DJ Kid & Manga are Scotland's premier D&B outfit. Forever working to push the envelope that little bit further and to represent all corners of the scene. Anyone and everyone that knows Kid or has played @ manga know's this.

PASCAL - FRONTLINE / TRUE PLAYAZ / GANJA
Drum and Bass is finally getting the recognition it deserves across the globe with regional dj's and promoters laying the foundations and stamping their mark in their respective homelands. Scotland in particular Edinburgh has been producing quality parties for many years now and you will be hard pushed to find anyone putting more time and effort into the scottish scene than DJ Kid.

BASEMENT PHIL
I first spoke to Kid back in 1991 when he phoned me at my shop, the record basement, he then proceeded in telling me how good a dj he was, and that he was going to be the biggest dj in scotland, he then asked to get on my mailing list! I realised straight away that kid was not going to go away and came across as having the drive to succeed. I am pleased to see DJ Kid achieve all of his dreams and establish himself as scotland’s premiere Drum & Bass Dj, an accolade he has achieved by his hard work, and his dedication to the drum & bass scene. A true Drum n Bass soldier

MC NAVIGATOR
DJ Kid is an institution when it comes to D&B in Scotland. He is the most prominent figurehead in the Scottish scene founding the now legendary manga night with G Mac at La Belle Angele. I have been proud to represent at his promotions and have to take my hat off to his sheer determination and persistence in his quest to bring this innovative genre of music to the Scots faithful.

DIGITAL - COSMIC WEB

NUBALANCE
When you are talking about Drum and Bass and someone metions Scotland the first name you think of is DJ Kid. He is a DJ that constantly serches for new, quality music and is constantly pushing the bounderies. I'm sure that without him the scene north of the border would be nowhere near as healthly as it is today. Before I had heard the name DJ kid I wasn't aware that there was Drum and Bass in Scotland. Big up!

GREG PACKER -
DJ Kid is a name that has been around since as far as i can remember. I later found out he was actually Scottish not from London and that he'd pushed the Scottish D&B scene from the beginning, a true survivor indeed. He is known all over Australia and he also should book me next time im in the uk.

DJ DELROY - JACK THE SOUND
When Kid came to Milan "to check the local scene" I had only heard of Manga as the main D'N'B event of note to take place regularly in Scotland. The Man took me by surprise with his Hard-core stance at a time when DNB artists in the UK were already getting more than used to the limelight... After ten years trying to do the impossible for this music in Italy, was someone really coming over to "check us out"? A REAL AMBASSADOR? Was this bloke for real? The answer was and still is: YES-YES! DJ Kid knows the rules and how to play by them... promotion, production and DJ-wise. And I big him up for the help he's given us over the past year. I can only look forward to future collaborations with the "Original Highland Souljah''
