Bio:

These two are a permanent fixture in the Vancouver Breakbeat scene and collectively have been DJ’ing for over 18 years – Precise’s roots are as a Hip-Hop turntablist having won numerous local competitions such as: DJ Soundwars, placing runner up in the DMC’s and ITF DJ battles in the years 97 through 99, and he was invited to compete in the nationals as well. Kraig loves all things funky and has been dropping sets of Breakbeats, soul, funk and vocal House music fused with live percussion all around Vancity at hundreds of clubs and parties in BC, Alberta and Los Angeles, CA.

Put these two together, and you’ve got a DJ set full of party rockin Funky and Electro Breaks fused with old skool Hip Hop with the elements of turntablism and live percussion added to the mix. Lately these guys have also been busy working on series of remixes and rerubs that are tearing up the clubs…

This is the reason that these two have played alongside the biggest in the biz: Krafty Kuts, The Freestylers, Atomic Hooligan, A. Skillz, The Bassbin Twins, Fort Knox Five, The DrumAttic Twins, The Rogue Element, Kid Kenobi, Aquasky, DJ Icey, DJ Craze, DJ Dopey, A-Trak, Dig-Dug, Big League Chu, Czech, Vinyl Ritchie, DJ Fixx, Sharaz, Tony Faline, Mat the Alien, Myagi and the Smalltown DJ’s.
