Kuts has won "best DJ" three years in a row as well as being

Breakspoll Awards. "A night
atmosphere. That day at bedsupperclub bangkok . Snan the fun and colorful
world, co-end action and endless fun on the way to open
Despite the show of all time, despite the show. " DJ.Krafty Kuts YOU 'RE NO.1 FOREVER BIOGRAPHY. ..........Inspired by the hip-hop and electro sounds that surrounded him, Martin first stepped behind a pair of decks when he entered a DJ competition as a complete novice, surprisingly making it all the way to the finals. This early success prompted him to perfect his art and set about teaching himself turntable techniques such as 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 a record store in Brighton throughout the 90's, where he built an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music in all its forms. In 1996 he took the next logical step, transferring his dance-floor knowledge to the studio, creating his own tracks for use in his DJ sets. |

..........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. Suitably impressed Ministry of Sound offshoot FSUK signed
Krafty to release a string of singles; ‘Funky Elements’, ‘Wild In the
Aisles’ (a tribute to Martin’s appearance on TV show 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’. At about the same time, Krafty
teamed with fellow-Brighton DJ Skool of Thought to establish the SuperCharged
club night which is still running. By 1999, with his all-encompassing
club style, Martin entered the studio with Freddy Fresh, long standing
studio partner Ed Solo and New York’s Dr Luke to produce a series of
beats and skits that eventually made it onto Finger Lickin’ Record's
'Finger Lickin Funk' release.
..........In the following two years Martin's skills were employed to create music for a Coca Cola advert, PlayStation 2 and Guy Richie’s ‘Mean Machine’as well as mixing a cover mount CD for Mixmag. With DJing and music now taking up all of his time, Martin left the record shop, free now to concentrate fully on his creative side. Martin launched both the Against The Grain and SuperCharged labels with club partner Skool of Thought, on which he released the ‘Lost Plates EP’, ‘Lock The Hype’ and ‘Sound Check’. |

..........Following
up on a contact made during his record shop days, he began a studio
collaboration with up and coming DJ A-Skillz, that resulted in the hip-hop
and party breaks album Trickatechnology. The album saw the pair collaborating
with Kurtis Blow, Dr Luke and Freakpower’sAshley Slater on a series
of compositions.
..........With the demand for his records and club sets showing no sign of slowing down, Martin took a backseat with the labels and club promotion to focus solely on touring and recording. Working solidly throughout 2006 Krafty completed his debut solo album, Freak Show. Once again the tracks featured a strong cast of collaborators from the Scratch Perverts, Tim Deluxe and Dynamite MC, to long term associates A-Skillz, Ashley Slater and Dr Luke. Mirroring Krafty Kuts’ universal approach to music and club-culture, the album moved through a myriad of tempos and genres. Freakshow was crowned Album of the Month and its lead single 'Bass Phenomenon' awarded single of the year in 2006 by DJ magazine. The album was following soon after by a Fabriclive compilation mixed by Krafty Kuts. |
