About

King Horror isn't just a DJ; he's a sonic necromancer, resurrecting the raw energy of vintage ska, reggae, and early dancehall with a distinctly macabre twist. Emerging from London's vibrant sound system culture, King Horror crafts a sonic experience that's equal parts dance party and B-movie soundtrack. His sets are a carefully curated blend of rare vinyl, dubplate exclusives, and original productions, all infused with a playfully dark sense of humor. Drawing inspiration from horror films of the 50s and 60s – think Vincent Price meets Lee "Scratch" Perry – King Horror has carved out a niche for himself as a purveyor of "horror-infused reggae." While his early work leaned heavily on classic Jamaican sounds, more recent productions showcase a growing experimentation with electronic elements, creating a sound that's both timeless and utterly unique. Collaborations with artists like Dub Pistols underscore his versatility and respect within the scene. With a consistently active touring schedule and new remixes and productions always on the horizon, King Horror continues to spread his infectious brand of spooky good vibes across the globe.
