Kyle Hall

Born as Detroit's second wave of techno was thriving with the likes of Blake Baxter, Carl Craig, and Underground Resistance, Hall started DJ'ing and making music at the age of 11. He made important early connections with Raybone Jones, Rick Wilhite, and Mike Huckaby, learning from the latter how to use a modular software music studio. Hall debuted on Omar-S' FXHE label in 2007 with the single-sided 12" "Plastik-Ambash." The next year, he launched Wild Oats and appeared on Moods & Grooves with a pair of EPs that were considerably more melodic and grooving yet far from easy listening. Over 2009 and 2010, Hall fielded a slew of remix assignments from elder and contemporary Detroiters and young U.K.- and New York-based acts, teaming with local heavyweights Alton Miller and Amp Fiddler for "When the Morning Comes" and also remixing tracks for Hyperdub's Darkstar ("Aidy's Girl Is a Computer") and Warp's the Hundred in the Hands ("Dressed in Dresden"). During the same period, Hyperdub and Third Ear Recordings became Hall's first U.K.-based labels to host his productions, respectively issuing "Kaychunk" and Must See EP.
