Unicorn Kid Oli Sabin a.k.a. Unicorn Kid has been getting plenty of attention from various corners of the media and club goers everywhere.

His debut single features 3 tracks, A-Side ‘Lion Hat’ is a disco bag of goodness that has
knocked the winter blues into 2010. It also comes with 2 b-sides in the form of ‘Goodbye’ and ‘8 Bytes’. Not only are the 3 tracks recorded and produced solely by Unicorn Kid he also does all the artwork himself.
This Edinburgh-based teenager has everything going for him despite his young age and the fact that he has to split his time between school and music. Unicorn Kid originally starting producing music as a hobby at 15 by layering different melodies on his Casiotone. He went on to play about with professional sequencing software on his laptop, integrating various circuit bent instruments and toys into his music. His first gig was in January 2008 in front of a small group of friends in a tiny city center bar in Edinburgh. He now has a solid fanbase all over the World including dedicated music
