KOBRA KAI BIOGRAPHY

Kobra Kai are a melting pot of influences and genres mixing instrumentation, musicianship, rhyme and electronic production to form a vibrant live blend of drum n bass, jungle, breaks, grime, hip hop and dubstep.

The band draw together a parallel studio and live setting with a unique live performance - guaranteed to fire a frenzied dance floor.

From their birth in 2005, to showcasing at the Australian Dance Music Awards with Sneaky Sound System and Midnight Juggernauts, Kobra Kai went on to become finalists in the ‘Nokia Be Heard’ competition, gaining national exposure and solid PR. Their featured track ‘Watch Your Step’ received the highest number of downloads from the Nokia site and the accompanying music video received airplay on MTV.

Kobra Kai have performed extensively throughout Sydney with resident gigs at Sydney's Home Nightclub as well as interstate. Support slots for touring acts have included Roni Size and Dynamite MC, DJ Marky and Stamina MC, Bliss n Eso, LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad and The Potbelleez.

In 2007, Kobra Kai won Triple J Unearthed (NSW) and were chosen to play Fuzzy Parklife, gracing the stage with Shapeshifter, Muscles and Stick Figures to name a few. Since then they have gone on to perform at the Sydney Big Day Out, Future Music Festivals and tour major areas around the country.

Roni Size will always be a part of Kobra Kai's sound, but I like the shades of dubstep and grime in this one. It's dark, dirty and thumping.
