Krafty Kuts BIO:
Martin Reeves, Aka Krafty Kuts, is without doubt one of the world's greatest DJ's. Lauded in the Uk, worshiped in Australia, acclaimed in America, where ever he plays he is guaranteed to cause a commotion with his riotous skills. So far in a glittering career he has gained dance music's top accolades including Best International DJ at the Australian Dance Music Awards, Breakspoll's Face of Breaks 2003 and Best Breaks DJ at the M8 Ibiza awards 2006, in only his first year as a resident on the white isle. A stunning haul at Breakspoll 2007 saw him claiming Best Album for his debut long player ‘Freakshow', Best DJ for a record third consecutive year and to cap it off, the richly deserved Outstanding Contribution to Breakbeat award that acknowledged his long journey to the acme of club culture.Inspired by the hip-hop and electro sounds that were rocking his world, Martin first stepped behind a pair of decks when he entered a DJ competition and incredibly, as a complete novice, he made it all the way to the final. With his love affair for the wheels of steel well and truly cemented, Krafty Kuts set about learning his art, perfecting the cutting and scratching that was to become the core of his DJ sets.Immersing himself in the music he loved, Martin went on to run one of Brighton's most popular record shops throughout the 90s. Building an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music in all its forms, Krafty's expertise marked him out as a prime supplier of dance-floor bullets to Brighton's musical elite, including the town's most famous son Norman Cook. Having built a fearsome DJing reputation for himself across the south-coast, with a string of high-octane gigs it was during 1996 that Martin took the next logical step, transferring his dance-floor knowledge to the studio, creating his own tracks to take his sets to the next level.His first big break came when a dubplate of Krafty Kuts' ‘Gimme The Funk' found its way to Norman Cook who immediately snapped it up for his Southern Fried label, releasing it to huge club approval. Suitably impressed Ministry of Sound offshoot Fsuk took on Krafty unleashing a string of classic singles; ‘Funky Elements', ‘Wild In the Aisles' (a tribute to Martin's legendary appearance on Supermarket Sweep!) and ‘Return of the Elements'.With his own tracks elevating his profile across the globe Martin mixed his first compilation ‘Slam On The Breaks' which gathered the cream of the breaks scene into a mercurial mix, further enhancing his notoriety as a devastating deck technician and selling by the bucket-load. At about the same time, Krafty hooked up with Skool of Thought to establish the SuperCharged club night. Home to his longest standing residency, the night continues to pull in huge crowds and after 8 years of all encompassing party action on a Wednesday night, it is now one of Breakbeat's most globally revered nights.With the club world at his mercy the demand for Krafty's studio abilities reached new heights. Becoming the remixer du jour, Krafty transformed numerous tracks in to serious party bangers for the likes of Jurassic 5, Arthur Baker, Eric B & Rakim, Stakker Humanoid and Afrika Bambaataa's Funky Heroes', for which he won a Best Remix award.By 1999, with his all-encompassing club style, blending beats and breaks across the board, honed to perfection, Martin entered the studio with Freddy Fresh, long standing studio partner Ed Solo and NY's own Dr Luke. Together they produced a series of beats and skits that were destined to become the backbone of Finger Lickin's legendary Finger Lickin Funk release.The following two years saw Martin's star rise still further, creating music for a Coca Cola advert, PlayStation 2 and Guy Richie's ‘Mean Machine' as well as mixing one of Mixmag's most popular cover mount CDs. With DJing and music making taking up all of his time, Krafty decided it was time to leave music sales behind and left the record shop that had proved pivotal in his early career. Free to concentrate fully on his creative side Martin launched both the Against The Grain and SuperCharged labels with club partner Skool of Thought and began releasing a series of smart-bombs that would hake the foundations of the Breaks scene. The ‘Lost Plates Ep', ‘Lock The Hype' and ‘Sound Check' proved beyond any doubt that Krafty Kuts was now established as a force to be reckoned with in dance music.NEON Steve BIO:They say nice guys finish last but that certainly isn't the case for one of Western Canada's most talked about DJ/Producers; Neon Steve. This peer-declared nice guy has jumped ahead of the game and is quickly showing why he's held down top spots on Beatport, Juno, Hype Machine and Soundcloud hot charts in addition to taking the 1st spot in Hush Nightclub's 2010 DJ Challenge. Comfortable rinsing out everything from Disco to Drum and bass, Neon Steve has developed a reputation for producing bass music ranging in tempos with distinct hip hop and funk influences. Anyone who's had the chance to see him will attest; Neon Steve has an exceptional ability to produce guaranteed boogie down tunes that will have any dance floor poppin off!Hailing from Vancouver Island and currently residing in Victoria BC, Neon has thrown down in all major cities between Victoria and Winnipeg. In addition to headlining, he's provided support to some of the world's top acts including, but not limited to: A Skillz, Rusko, Jack Beats, Zeds Dead, Cut Chemist, Krafty Kuts, Nero, Featurecast, Eskmo, the Freestylers, MSTRKRFT, Freq Nasty, Boy 8 Bit, Pimpsoul, Mooqee, Nick Thayer....and the list goes on. His production credits boast some impressive remixes for the likes of Datsik and Bare (Subhuman Records), the Beekeepers (Jalapeno Records Uk) and Excision and Downlink (Rottun Records), the latter of which solidified a spot on Beatports Top 10 Dubstep chart for well over a month! His resume sports numerous releases including drops on Bombstrikes, Rottun Records, Subhuman, Jalapeno, Punchout and Swing Set Sounds. And as if that wasn't big enough, he's received full support from the Bombstrikes and Rottun Records crews which aided in his music getting played at Festivals across North America and Europe including having his tracks played at 3/6 stages at the Shambhala Music Festival! At the ripe old age of 23, Neon Steve shows no signs of slowing down. Currently in plans for tours across Canada and the Uk in addition to collaborations and remixes leading up to a forthcoming Ep on Bombstrikes, Neon Steve is well on his way injecting a bit of brightness amongst some of bass music's brightest stars.
