Artist Info:
Los Angeles-based DJ and label head Kingdom aka Ezra Rubin has built considerable influence with both his own discography and the output from his groundbreaking label,Fade to Mind. Rubin was introduced to MIDI programming and composition at an early age. Inspired by U.K. jungle andTimbaland’s genre-defying R&B sound, he began experimenting with sampling keyboards and simple multitrack recording as a teenager. Upon moving to NYC to study visual art, Kingdom developed his signature design style and began his career as a DJ, connecting genres and sounds in a way that NYC club audiences hadn’t experienced before. He released two mixtapes in 2006 and 2008 that fused U.K. grime, U.S. club, hip-hop and his own mutated take on R&B, catching the attention of London-based label Night Slugs, which sparked their ongoing transcontinental collaboration and kinship.
Saturated in mysticism and cosmic authority, Kingdom’s distinctively bittersweet productions mix deep synths and apocalyptic drums into a spacious, multidimensional sound that immediately began having a major impact on club music worldwide. After critical acclaim for his early EPs ‚Mind Reader'(Fool’s Gold Records), ‚That Mystic‘ (Night Slugs) and’Dreama‘ (Night Slugs), Rubin relocated from New York to Los Angeles in 2010 to form new label Fade to Mind with close friends and collaborators Nguzunguzu, Total Freedom, andPrince William. He quickly expanded the roster to include such diverse artists as ballroom house legend MikeQ and Kuwaiti-American composer Fatima Al Qadiri.
