"If I see people not dancing, then I immediately like to switch it up and give a good energy. If you put too much attitude into your music, then you tend to have people chin stroking or just standing around. So my emphasis is all about the party - making everyone smile and happy, everyone having a good time."- Krafty Kuts

There are few artists that have so affected the genre of music in which they produce. Krafty Kuts is easily the most constantly prolific and significant contributor to breakbeat and his continual support from breaks punters to purveyors like his three years as the 'Breakspoll Best DJ', 'ADMA Best International DJ', 'Face of Breaks Best DJ' and other similar awards continue to cement his king spin position within the genre's ever growing talent base. And within his own framework, he has been pushing the genre since its inception, taking trends and influences from all walks of music to create a multi-faceted musical soundscape that is as easily accessible for several thousands at a festival, to just a lone lover of the field.

"It's all about the depth, the musical range - I'm taking all my influences from Latin, to a little bit of hip hop, to funk, keep it pumping though and keeping it groovy. I also work really hard to put my own exclusive tracks on there to make it interesting with lots of scratching, quick mixing, lots of loops and edits - kind of like throwing everything into the cooking pot and mixing it around a little bit."- Krafty Kuts

For his much anticipated FABRICLIVE mix, Krafty Kuts does not disappoint, piecing together the definitive schooling soundtrack for fans from all corners of breakbeat; downright dancefloor and unabashedly feel-good, this party mix is perfect for some slinky summertime fun.

"This FABRICLIVE mix has been really important to me. It's been two years now since the wheels were put in motion to make this happen, and even though it's taken that long, it's been worth the wait. I want to go forward all the time, pushing good music to good people who will appreciate both the execution and the end result." - Krafty Kuts
