About 808 || Kyle Hall, Jay Daniel, Soul 2 Seoul at Sugar Hill Disco


Detroit wunderkind Kyle Hall has been actively involved in the house music scene since age 11, when local legend DJ Raybone Jones taught him how to spin records. Subsequently, under the auspices of such notable mentors as Rick Wilhite (Three Chairs) and Mike Huckaby, Hall developed a rich understanding of the city's deep house underground. By his early teens, Hall was already performing radio and club shows around the area.

Hall's first break as a producer came at age 16, when he was approached by deep house luminary Omar-S, whose FXHE label released his debut record and introduced his music to a wider audience for the first time.

He is also a part of the legacy of the motor city sound with a mother, namely Naomi Daniel, who is the voice behind Planet-E classics' "Stars" and "Feel the Fire," both of which were produced by Carl Craig & released in the early 90's.

He holds a residency with his friend and musical guide, Kyle Hall in Detroit and has been steadily building his profile since his acclaimed debut at Movement Festival Detroit in 2012. Boiler Room called him "one of the most exciting new discoveries we made in Detroit. Jay Daniel is officially our new favorite DJ. Incredible talent", a prediction that is more than clearly holding true. Since then Jay has been working hard on developing his productions and is set to have his first release on Theo Parrish' Sound Signature in September 2013. He will round out the year with a release on Kyle Hall's Wild Oats label.
