Born 1985 in Stockholm to Hungarian parents, Kornél Kovács' perambulations in music began early and have continued at pace ever since. Raised on that classic, enviable diet of “proper” music training plus parents with a killer record collection, Kovács' daytime lessons were given texture at night as everything from Kraftwerk and Art Of Noise to King Tubby and Boogie Down Productions wafted through the house. Applying the Stakhanovite work ethic of his heritage, Kovács started knocking on as many of Stockholm's musical doors as possible, loitering in the city's record stores and stalking its DJs, working his way through the local library's selection of new records. Kovács, then a “nerdy kid who got to hang around the older cool kids cause they found me funny”, even managed to wangle a few DJ gigs on the back of an intense early teenage love of 90s drum'n'bass, turning him into “Stockholm's youngest former jungle DJ” by the age of 14. After a few years in this exquisitely premature retirement, Kovács picked his headphones up again in the 00s, and exciting things followed. Kovács was already writing about music, for his own blog and various culture magazines - this was joined by a DJ residency at Stockholm's legendary Paradise night, as well as a weekly radio show on P3, Sweden's Radio 1 equivalent. A stint at Red Bull Music Academy in 2008 was followed by the formation of Studio Barnhus with his Stockholm acquaintances Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. At first a studio space, soon enough a DJ trio, and eventually a record label, Studio Barnhus has now charted 100 releases and counting – the initial Good Children Make Bad Grown Ups EP was Kovács' first appearance on vinyl.
