Freeform 5 & Krafty Kuts

Uk DJ's hitting tiny country towns. Interesting scenario! I bet they thought so too.

Freeform 5 describe themselves as "It's like one part Prince, mixed with one part Kraftwerk and one part Blondie, throw it in the acid house party blender with a healthy measure of sex and you get Freeform Five". Pretty good description i should think. Only a DJ set, but apparently they went off at Sydney's Parklife with a full piece band mixing the set. Impressive blend of electro, breaks and random bass mash up remixes of a few new pop (namely Justin Timberlake) songs.

Krafty Kuts is one of the worlds most sort after and respected dj / producers in dance music, he recently picked up the trophy for 'Best DJ at the Breakspoll 2005' awards for the second year running and will be releasing his debut solo artist album Freakshow this year. The album features collaborations with a host of hot talent including Dynamite MC, Tim Deluxe, Ashley Slater, Dr Luke, Theo, Bespoke, Ed Solo and Chris Sargent. The gig was stylish, touched on hip hop and breaks with a lot of bits in between. From fun loving funk to bassline breaks Krafty Kuts is one experienced dj.
