Biography

Jean-Yves Prieur, aka Kid Loco is a French electronic musician, DJ, remixer and producer. He was born on June 16, 1964 in Antony, Hauts-de-Seine, France. He began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early ’80s. He moved on to production as well by the end of the decade, and moved on to and with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch. By 1996, Prieur had built his own studio, christened himself Kid Loco and released the Blues Project EP for Yellow Productions. The full-length A Grand Love Story appeared one year later, earning praise from many in the indie-rock and electronica community. A remix album was released in 1998. Prieur also accompanied st. etienne’s Sarah Cracknell for a rendition of “The Man I Love” from the Gershwin tribute Red Hot + Rhapsody, and has remixed Stereolab, Pulp, Mogwai, The High Llamas, Dimitri from Paris and Talvin Singh. The reconfigured Prelude to a Grand Love Story appeared in 1999 as Loco’s US full-length debut, and the remix album Jesus Life for Children Under 12 Inches followed later that same year. Kid Loco moved up to the majors with his second full-length, 2001’s Kill Your Darlings. With a mixture of Easy Listening, Hindi Funk, Guitar Pop and Hip Hop Beats, Kid Loco has developed an individual sound that fascinates rocker boys, b-boys and boutique owners alike.

    All I can say is that I cannot wait until I myself am 38 fucking years old, so I can only begin to appreciate a glimpse of the vision that Kid Loco has. His music is honest - listening to A Grand Love Theme,

    Hi it's me again months later. I loved a grand love story, liked kill your darlings, and so far the new album sounds pretty good too. But a grand love story is still my favourite i think. The others are too poppy

    i'm hearing a grand love story, i'm just two songs into it, but it sounds really nice, i should get more into this lounge-electro-downtempo stuff, i liked bozoo bajou, now this..

    I bought the remastered reissue of A Grand Love Story and it's been tampered with. The beats are changed and tweaked and sped up/slowed down. It's quite distressing. Even the "38 fucking years old" has been changed to "49 fucking years old"
