Kidnap Explores Fatherhood and Musical Evolution in Something Lost, Something Gained
For many leading DJs, relentless touring and continuous music releases are the norm. Kidnap, the UK-based artist known for his emotive soundscapes, spent much of his career in this whirlwind. However, his life took a transformative turn after he became a new father, prompting him to slow down and prioritize family over the fast-paced lifestyle.
Despite adjusting his schedule, Kidnap remained prolific in his music production, channeling his past experiences into heartfelt tracks. This culmination of creativity is captured in his sophomore album, Something Lost, Something Gained, released under [PIAS] Électronique.
This album reflects on growing up, nostalgia, and gratitude, celebrating the present moment. My hope is that listeners will resonate with these emotions. I simply create music that I love and share it with the world.

Something Lost, Something Gained features ten tracks that highlight Kidnap’s diverse influences, blending melodic house, indie dance, drum and bass, and classical elements. Fans have been treated to several singles from the album this year, including “Overgrown” featuring Leo Stannard, “Fortified” with Dwara, “Something To Say” featuring Chelou, and both collaborations with Gabrielle Aplin titled “Lost Without You” and “Feels Like Home.”
