Mix of the Day: Krafty Kuts

Sometimes we just get the urge to try something different and listen to something wherein we have no idea what’s coming in next- it’s times like these we turn to certain maverick DJ’s like the undisputed king of breaks: Krafty Kuts. Both as a producer and a DJ we’ve long been admirers of Krafty both for his genre-defying dexterity on the wheels of steel and his unbridled passion for dancefloor hedonism and each style of electronic music.

Since his last LP, ‘Let’s Ride’, back in 2012, Krafty has been honing his craft with a plethora of single releases, as well as his legendary ‘Golden Era’ mixes, which have received over a million downloads since launching in 2014. Krafty now brings his sound headfirst into 2017 with this fifteen-track album, ‘All 4 Corners’.

Never one to settle on any specific genre, Krafty has incorporated elements of bass, grime, future-funk, hip-hop and everything in between, Krafty shows his ability to put his own spin on any genre he touches. Effortlessly moving from breakbeat bliss to a bass-heavy cut, his production versatility knows no bounds. Krafty Kuts has established himself as one of Britain’s most coveted producers and turntablists, over his 15 year career.

With his ‘All 4 Corners’ out now (grab a copy here) and his upcoming performance at this Summers Nozstock Festival (you can win a set at the festival too), we asked him back to our mix series, this time to the Mix of the Day series and oh boy has he delivered, a mix packed full on unheard and exclusive material, just for us & you. Enjoy!

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
