Krafty Kuts (Fingerlickin’, Instant Vibes) www.kraftykuts.com
Multi award winning DJ Krafty Kuts, started 2011 with an audible bang. Collecting THREE Breakspoll awards (including Outstanding Contribution) has only further cemented his legendary reputation in the global DJ scene. Now with his schedule firmly packed out until next year, things are only going to get crazier for one of dance music’s most in-demand and highly revered artists
Effortlessly maintaining hierarchy status in every genre across the breaks, electro, dubstep, drum & bass and hip hop spectrums, Krafty’s music represents mash-up in its truest form. His high octane sets never fail to boost his fanbase and his regular teaming with Dynamite MC and obsession with only the biggest new tracks and remixes keep his show fresh and exciting with every minute that passes.
His ability to rock even the most diverse crowd will see him hit every major global festival throughout 2011, and with a Canadian and Asian tour completed and more mapped out in Australia, New Zealand and North America it’s clear to see this is set to end as one of his biggest years yet. For anyone a little closer to home, keep your eyes peeled for upcoming ‘A Night With Krafty Kuts’ events and a university tour plus his second iPhone app which is currently under construction.
Those who know this highly skilled DJ will agree that his incredibly warm nature and passion for the scene sets him apart time after time. This, coupled with an unfaltering ability to deliver the finest, most eclectic and endlessly inspiring beats to his fans, will ensure Krafty continues to sweep the board and inspire a global scene for 2011 and beyond.
KJ Sawka (Consirator, Pendulum, Destoid) www.kjsawka.com
Seeing Kevin Sawka on the drums is the only way to believe the hype. He can play the most complex of jungle, drum’n'bass and breakbeats utilizing no loops and no extended samples -only his two hands and two feet. If you can catch him in the right moment –live, at a show, or in a studio session- you’ll witness him perform each and every 808 bass kick, snare slap, and compressed highhat tick himself, in real-time.
Live and in the dj scene, Sawka is pushing the envelope with his one-man balls-to-the-wall dancefloor show, which now does include a laptop, samplers, loops, and a rack of gear to produce a full-on production -plus projections, live-action cameras, and intelligent. For many live music venue gigs, Kevin also employs a full featuring ethereal female vocals, a keyboardist, and a cellist performing similar material in an in-your-face way that only the reverse-engineering, seemingly bionic Mr. Sawka can bring.
Mr. Brown (Soul In Motion / Heavyweght / Junglist Movement / Prophecy FM)
Mr. Brown has been in the game over 21 years and is a well-respected member of the Toronto Drum n Bass community. Originally playing ska, reggae, and house for the first 8 years then made the transition to dnb; but this early music preference is still transmitted through his sets today. In 2002 he started a production company known as Soul In Motion that throw events that promote the best local and international DnB producers and DJ’s around. Mr. Brown isn’t just local to Toronto, as he’s played all over Canada, the US as well the UK. Not to mention, he’s been played alongside talent such as: Netsky, Sigma, Brookes Brothers, Shy FX, Fabio, Andy C, and Break just to name a few. Currently, aside from working on a series of side promotional projects; Junglist Movement and Heavyweight Productions, he is a rotating host on Canada’s longest running DnB radio show “The Prophecy. Mr. Brown’s high energy behind the decks are pure crowd pleasers and he has no sign of stopping anytime soon.
