KRAFTY BIO:
MySpace.com - Krafty Kuts - Brighton, UK - Breakbeat / Hip Hop / Electro - www.myspace.com/djkraftykuts

When you enter your 1st DJing competition, having never DJ'd before and get to the finals, you know you must have chosen the right career path - Krafty Kuts was born.

He was voted Best International DJ at the Australian Dance Music Awards and the Face of Breaks 2003 at the International Breakspoll Awards. These were the ultimate accolades for his efforts. However, this success didn't just happen overnight. Krafty Kuts' first ventures on the wheels of steel occurred in the mid 80's when he was bitten by the hip-hop and Electro bug. It was during this period that he developed his cutting and scratching skills, which are now a trademark of his party rocking sets.

While Krafty Kuts was rocking down the house with his DJ skills, he was also busy working on his own music. In 1996 he was signed to FSUK, one of the Ministry of Sound's offshoot labels. 3 EP's were released to critical acclaim, along with 'Gimme the Funk'; a one-off release for Fatboy Slim's label Southern Fried that was hammered by every DJ worth their salt. The success of these releases led to Krafty Kuts becoming one of the most in- demand remixers within the UK dance music scene. Today, the list of people Krafty Kuts has remixed reads like an A-List, including the likes of Jurassic 5, Utah Saints, Arthur Baker and Eric B & Rakim. His remixing talents were cemented at the 2003 International Breakspoll Awards, where he won Best Remix for Afrika Bambaataa's 'Funky Heroes'. As well as dishing out killer remixes, he's also managed to compile 'Slam The Breaks On' 1 & 2, both classic overviews of the breakbeat sound.

Whilst producing and remixing, Krafty Kuts has also managed to maintain his Djing commitments the world over, playing alongside such luminaries as Fatboy Slim, The Rolling Stones, The Prodigy, and Roni Size. Amazingly, Krafty still manages to hold down his residency club at Supercharged in Brighton.

In 2003, he, along with production partner A.Skillz, released their album 'TRICKA TECHNOLOGY' on Finger Lickin' Records to worldwide critical acclaim featuring hip hop legend Kurtis Blow as well as new talents Real Elements and ever reliable funky bass player Dr Luke. This album defined funky breakbeats among DJs around the globe, a genre on its own.

Today, Krafty Kuts is still working harder than ever. At the 2004, 2005 & 2006 International Breakspoll Awards he took out the much coveted BEST DJ award (3 years in a row). He will now step down from the Breakspoll podium to allow other artists a chance at taking the #1 title. He also won the Best Breaks DJ Award at the recent M8 awards in Ibiza and has been booked solid ever since. Krafty has finished working on his debut solo album 'Freakshow' on Against the Grain label featuring collaborations with Tim Deluxe 'Bass Phenomenon', Ashley Slater, Dynamite MC, Dr. Luke, A.Skillz and the Scratch Perverts, among others. In the words of Krafty himself, the album is a monster!

Jon is a permanent fixture up in Whistler has already broken significant ground in Vancouver with residencies at Crush and Sonar not to mention in Whistler and Banff as well. It's safe to say Jon plays all things funky and ELECTRO which is why he's arranged tours and opened for Dirty South, Kid Kenobi, Hook n'Sling and more!

Posted on behalf of JT from VWENT and Tommy Africa's in Whistler.

As the info says, this is an exclusive Whistler event... With Krafty's hectic tour / studio schedule, Vancouver won't see him till mid-2008.

This is last minute, but tickets will be only $15 or $20 available online and this will be a wicked way to bring in the season up there. Not to mention that the vibe up there in unlike anything in Vancouver.
