Krafty Kuts

Introduction:

Inspired by the hip-hop and electro sounds, Krafty Kuts first stepped behind a pair of decks when he entered a DJ competition and incredibly, as a complete novice, made it all the way to the final. Krafty Kuts then set about learning his art, perfecting the cutting and scratching that was to become the core of his DJ sets. With a busy schedule spanning Europe, UK and America - he's given us a quick minute for an interview...

What inspired you to get your first turn-tables?

Watching Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jeff and other originators. I just wanted to be part of the scene, manipulating funk & disco in search of the perfect beat.

What’s been the best venue you’ve ever played in?

'An Evening with Krafty Kuts' @ Matter, London. Nuff Said.

After an amazing summer, it’s still ‘non-stop’ for Krafty – whats been the highlight of the year so far?

Bestival by a mile. It was the most exquisite, extraordinary, adventurous night this year, and you can re-live it all at www.be-at.tv

The best mix you ever done?

I did a mix for mixmag a while back called 'Instant Party' which was a corker and has become a bit of a collectable. But I have to say, I’m very proud of this Fenchurch mix as well as the new mix I’ve done for the 10 years of against the grain release.
