A Skillz certainly has the funk ! Back with another volume of “Beats Working” A Skillz drops his favourite tunes of now staring off with some solid funk tracks then moving onto the more Hip Hop type of sound before it gets a bit more glitchy then raising the tempo with more party types of sounds. A direct download from Soundcloud, enjoy !
Happy New Year !
A Skillz aka Adam Mills is the one man band that has been in the EDM scene for quite a while now. Constantly touring across the globe and bringing his turntablism talent wherever he goes. Never one to stick to genres you can find his DJ sets full of variety from Funk to Hip Hop to Breaks to Drum and Bass. Starting with his debut album Tricka Technology back in 2003 along with long time friend and DJ Krafty Kuts to his recent production of “We Got Fun” I’m pretty sure A Skillz is not going away any time soon.

Originally recorded by BBC Radio 1 UK and aired on the Annie Nightingale show back in 2006 this mix showcases the diversity of well known DJ’s Krafty Kuts & A Skillz. Their back to back LIVE DJ sets have become legendary and this one is no exception, recorded at the One World Snowbombing Special 2006 in a unique environment basically on top of a mountain playing all the tracks we love and know. I hope you enjoy !
