THiCK ARTIST OF THE WEEK:

Foamo 
Kye Gibbon, also known as Foamo, is a 22 year old producer from High Wycombe, UK. Since the age of 13 Foamo immersed himself in jungle/d’n’b, garage, dubstep and grime. With all these influences combined, he crafted his own category of house that often revolves around a big bassline and kinetic beats.

Foamo made his name at the beginning of 2008 with his first ever house track 'moving it over here', which immediately caught the attention of many big names, making it's way into Kissy Sell Out's radio show, and both MSTRKRFT's and Crookers essential mixes.

From there, Foamo produced more original tracks, and official remixes for a wide range of artists such as Mystery Jets, La Roux, Man Like Me, Diplo & Laidback Luke, Franz Ferdinand, Jack Beats and Drop The Lime.

Foamo also quickly made his name for his high energy DJ sets, which earned him a nomination for DJ mag's 'best british breakthrough DJ 2008' award, alongside the likes of Rusko and Alex Metric. He has also performed mixes on various BBC Radio 1 shows and has a busy schedule DJing in the UK & Europe, and has toured America, Australia and Asia. Foamo is also resident at the legendary Chew The Fat parties in London, and was also a resident at the massive Space club in Ibiza.



Here are some of Foamo's best bass-bangers:
