KRAFTY KUTS, UK – http://www.myspace.com/djkraftykuts
There’s little else to say about the skills of party-pleasing breakbeat don and genre pioneer Krafty Kuts that breaks fans and electronic music journalists the globe over haven’t already attested to. His countless successful releases on labels including Finger Lickin’ Records, Southern Fried Records (Fatboy Slim’s label), FSUK, his two co-owned stables Super Charged and Against The Grain, the latter imprint hosting his last solo LP, ‘Freakshow,’ featuring the likes of Dynamite MC, The Scratch Perverts and A Skillz, just lay the groundwork for his seminal live sets. Follow that with his numerous edits and remixed productions of some of the biggest names in the game including Jurassic 5, Stanton Warriors, A-Trak, Laidback Luke, Deadmau5, Micky Slim, Fake Blood, Plump DJ’s, Crookers, MSTRKRFT, Alex Metric, and Chromeo, and you see where each step-up is heading. This is a man who can waltz into any club, in any town, in any country and take it up a few degrees… to say the least.
There are few artists that have so affected the genre of music in which they produce. Krafty Kuts is easily the most constantly prolific and significant contributor to Breakbeat as is evident by his numerous awards and accolades including his three years as the ‘Breakspoll Best Breaks DJ in the world’, winning Breakspoll’s ‘Best Album’ for Freakshow, ‘ADMA Best International DJ’, ‘Face of Breaks Best DJ’ and others continue to cement his king spin position within the genre’s ever growing talent base. And within his own framework, he has been pushing the genre since its inception, taking trends and influences from all walks of music to create a multi-faceted musical soundscape that is as easily accessible for several thousands at a festival, to just a lone lover of the field.
With a brand new artist album set to be immanently released, you can bet he’s coming armed with a slough of fresh party beats, remixes, edits and unreleased jams – something not to be missed.
