The grand master of the broken beat genre Krafty Kuts shows us his funky side in this brand new mix (that you know is going to be great) entitled “Funky Side Of Things”. All sorts of genres have been thrown into this mix from Disco, Hip Hop, Funk, Breaks, Acid Jazz & House. It took Martin Reeves about 4 months to put this together so all care was taken in getting it sounding just right, enjoy !
Starting back in 1998 (I think) was the Kiss 100 FM Breakbeat Show hosted by Danny McMillan a true advocate of the breakbeat genre from it’s early beginnings and who even had his own label. This mix from 2002 is from Krafty Kuts & Skool Of Thought who at the time ran a night in Brighton UK called Supercharged, a place where the now dons of breakbeat used to play every weekend. The Supercharged night soon turned into a label and saw some of the best Nuskool Breaks tunes of the day. This is a pretty cool mix when tunes were a lot more simple.
Without breakbeat you wouldn’t have hip hop, plain and simple. Krafty Kuts drops some delicious cuts and alternative takes from his Golden Era Hip Hop mixes as a promotional item for his upcoming tour with hip hop legend and MC Chali 2na. Can you name all the tunes ?
Krafty Kuts, real name Martin Reeves is one of the most influential people in the electronic music scene today with experience as a DJ / Producer for more than two decades. Never one to be tied down to a defined genre Krafty has mixed it with the best and has crafted (pardon the pun) the breaks scene in to what it is today. Many artists have come and gone over the years but Krafty is still here leading the way !
This mix which goes for over 2 and a half hours was recorded LIVE at Klub K4, Ljubljana, Slovenia back in January 2009 and contains the vocal talents of Dynamite MC.
