DK Watts

After growing up in New York and spending the last decade living in San Francisco, DK Watts (who is 1/2 of the production duo called the Short Bus Kids) recently made the leap across the Atlantic Ocean to live in Amsterdam.

A veteran of the underground house music scene, DK Watts has made a lasting impression with a number of quality releases on his Bounce House Recordings label as well as many other respected Imprints. Respected I DJ Magazine journalist Russell Deeks describes the Short Bus Kids as “Two of the best producers in deep house right now, no question, and getting more eclectic as they get more confident, it would appear” in his “This Is Why We Dance” blog when he named his 2009 Artists of the Year.

Release after release on DK Watts’ Bounce House Recordings label has garnered worldwide recognition from his fellow peers and industry publications such as I DJMagazine, De:Bug and DMC Update.

DK Watts also hosts a weekly radio show on Digitally Imported and Cue Radio every Friday. The show called “House Music as it Should Be” attracts an audience of over 2,500 listeners around the globe. It airs at 20:00 – 21:00 CET (2-3PM EST USA) on each station.

Expect no let up from DK Watts. A number of future Bounce House EPs featuring himself, the Short Bus Kids as well as other known artists is scheduled. DK Watts is also busy in the studio working on a full-length album.
