Kelp!

know I'm not the hero you asked for, or wanted.. or needed… also I'm really not a hero -
- Presenting the misadventures of a miniature deep-sea diver fish bowl-figurine:
Kelp is the unsung hero, or perhaps the unsing hero..
“I wanna be the last word in neo-vaporwave-electro-funk.. and the first.. well, I don’t want to.. but
they’re forcing my hand”
If there's room in music for a lounge act fronted by an inch high, ethereal deep-sea diver with a
preoccupation for vocoders, FM synthesis and bad midi; Kelp intends to fill it with the most
garish of cutting edge, white elephant Vaporwave and elevator-jingles, now with added salsa.
This experiment into futuristic, holographic swing band inspired, island anti-pop hopes to sound
like the illegitimate fusion of surrealist exotica horn-pipery and the distant whirring of some
cosmic, Gregorian polka, leaking from a submerged, underwater cantina during El Niño
Kelp, also known as Jordie Sunshine, is the Belfast, Northern Ireland based, talk box yielding,
experimental electronic and symphonic pop, HD bedroom producer and songster extraordinaire.
Plucked from the void in the peak-plague days of 2020, Kelp has given us 10 singles and 2 EPs
so far, with, most notably ‘Lamentation’ and ‘Shady Palms’ making their way on to Tom
Robinson’s Mixtape on BBC Radio 6 Music.
Kelp’s latest offerings have appeared in the form of a remix for a song called ‘Indefinite Funk’ by
Belfast-based band, Eerie Wigs and an electro-funk cover version of the original 1987 ‘Fireman
Sam’ theme
Coming soon, 3 brand new singles, an EP and a seminal live show in Belfast city center,
considered to be a world’s first in live entertainment.
