Kenny Palmer DJ History:
Whilst a presenter on Juice 94FM, Kenny was asked to be resident at two clubs in south London - the Soundbarrier and Dorringtons - where he played alongside DJs such as Steve Lee, Nancy Noise and Paul Gardiner. During one of his sets at the Sound Barrier, Kenny got his first major break when a promoter heard him playing. He was so impressed with Kenny's energy, mixing and track selection that he asked him if he would like to play for his event at Woody's the following week, playing alongside Ashley Casselle and Mike Gray (Full Intention). The following week Kenny stole the show, and straight after his set he was offered a residency for Friends at London's Heaven nightclub where he played alongside the UK's finest DJs for two years. During his time as resident for Friends at Heaven, Kenny's abilty, energy, and dedication were once again rewarded when he was booked to play for Sugar Candy at The Cross nightclub in Kings Cross, where he played alongside DJ legends Joe Fish, Fat Tony and Tall Paul. That night opened another new chapter in Kenny's DJ career, when a promoter heard his set and asked him if he would like to become monthly resident for Purity at The Cross with Mark Shimmon (Shimmon & Woolfson) and Sunny Side Up legend Simon Hill. Kenny's reputation, and crowd following were getting bigger after every gig he played, and he was soon booked to play at Bagleys Bunker, and then Bagleys for Freedom, where on his first night, he had lines of clubbers bowing down to him at the end of his set. More gigs followed soon after, and he played alongside the likes of Lisa Pin Up, Jim Shaft Ryan, Steve Thomas, Seb Fontaine, CJ Macintosh, Bobby & Steve, Seamus Haji, and Judge Jules. During this period, Kenny was offered a residency for Purity, who were hosting the Studio room for Smartie Partie night at the Glasshouse in London. Unfortunately after only a few months, Purity decided to end their nights at The Glasshouse. This was when Kenny got together with another London DJ, Pete Conti, and started their own night, and SuperSexy was born. After holding SuperSexy gigs at Bagleys Bunker, The Cross, and The Hanover Grand (with Craig Richards and Seb Fontaine), they moved SuperSexy to the Glasshouse, as this was a venue that they really loved playing. For the next two years Kenny played every month for SuperSexy, and on occasions they hosted the second room of the Smartie Partie events where Kenny played alongside the likes of Marshall Jefferson, The Sharp Boys and Carlos Fransisco. Kenny continued to guest out at venues around London, including Turnmills, The Camden Palace, Chunnel Club, Heaven, Ministry of Sound, and The Cross. He also played gigs in Italy, Ibiza (El Divino, Es Paradis) and toured the USA. One of Kenny's DJ highlights was to be asked by Trace Harris to play for Smartie Partie at their millennium gig in the Glasshouse. Shortly after the Millenium gig, SuperSexy closed, and Kenny was offered a residency playing for BBK at The Mint Club and The Fruit Cupboard in Leeds where he played played with DJs such as Norman Jay, Timmi Magic and Matt Jamm Lamont, during this period Kenny also played his regular gigs in London, and also at The Hush Club and Bonds in Birmingham. After a short revival tour of SuperSexy at Sundissential, Afterssential, Eat Your Words, Hull, Pure Addiction Nottingham, and Blueprint, Nottingham, Kenny decided to put promoting on the back-buner to concentrate on several music businesses, his DJ'ing never stopped, and he has gone on to play at events worldwide, including DJ bookings at Cairos first ever dance music festival and PUMA fashion show in Warsaw, Poland.
