Oliver Sabin (born 5 November 1991), formerly known as Unicorn Kid, is a Scottish electronic music/chip music composer and musician from Edinburgh, educated at Leith Academy.
Emerging in 2007, Unicorn Kid helped spark the brief revival of chiptune, a genre which involves making dance music using the sound chips from old game consoles.
In 2009, following an appearance at T in the Park[10] and support slots for Calvin Harris, played two official shows at In the City[11] and Sŵn Festival.
Unicorn Kid was the support act for synth-pop musician Owl City on his rescheduled UK and European tour in September/October 2011.
[18] In April 2012, Sabin released a new track "Pure Space" for free download just prior to a UK tour with Major Lazer.
On 7 September, after being released from his contract with 3Beat, Sabin announced via Twitter that he had called it quits as Unicorn Kid because he was not enjoying the direction his music was going under the alias.
