Kev Delaney

Kev Delaney is a solo electronic artist and DJ known for dance and house music since the late 1980s, focusing on production and event promotion.

Kevin Delaney, AKA So Good Boy, developed a love of dance music from very early on in life after a weekend spent in London with his uncle, the legendary Finbar O'Brien.

In those days of the mid/late 80s it really was all about the soul and funk, and Kev started buying 12" records and taking them to parties, playing out even if all that was available was a record player. Kev got involved in the Acid house scene in early 1988. His uncle, Finbar O'Brien, had started doing some parties in Edgware, North London, and he got involved in everything from helping on the door to moving equipment.

As the scene turned from Acid House to House Music the Pirate Club was formed, and from 1989 onwards it became a very respected event wherever it's home was. Venues included HMS President on the Thames, Camden Palace, The Rocket in Holloway Road and Roller Express. These events were instrumental in the growth of dance culture in London and at the time many of the superstar DJs of today played there.

In 1992 Kevin went to Australia. This was a pivotal moment for him and within 3 months of arriving he was involved in the club scene out there. He ended up purchasing his first sound system, a 10k JBL, and for the next 3 years he ran parties in New South Wales and Western Australia. Kev was lucky enough to work and play alongside many big names down under. The Aussies have a love and respect for many UK based DJs and Kev became associated with some other English promoters attracting acts from the UK to Australia such as Carl Cox and Ratpack. Kev also started doing the warm up sets for the parties and before he knew it he was engaging the crowd and DJing at lots of parties as well as providing production.

Returning from Australia in 1995 Kev went straight to Ibiza and did a season out there. This was when the terrace at Space still had the decks on the bar. He got himself involved with the production at Space, the beginning of things to come...

A wife and a family story began in 1997, and the love of music never faded despite this new sensible role

2015/2016 and he's playing at venues including the Ministry of Sound and McQueen's under the new So Good brand and all is So Good!

Kevin was running his own events on a regular basis all over the south of England and loving being involved in the scene once more up until 2025. His attention to detail on his productions is well respected in the industry as all the equipment is state of the art and his commitment and effort is shown in not just his own productions but any other promoters, he provided sound and light production for.

Over recent times he worked on some larger projects He's also teamed up with Marc "Rambo" Whitman and has done a series of party's in the south of England over the past 11 years. These events always had the best in production with great line ups which included Victor Simonelli, Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw, Terry Farley, Blocko and Alex P to name just a few.

Kevin has taken some time out over the past year from the scene but enjoys a spin every now and then and is always happy to help with the Beat Bunker team as he sees their events as what the scene should always be about. Good music and good people
