Krushed and Sorted

Krushed & Sorted are one of Cape Town's legendary underground dj outfits, and have grown from humble roots into one of the main forces driving the flourishing Cape Town underground music scene with their label African Dope Records.

They have appeared as headline djs at events such as The Camel Experience, Rustler's Valley Easter Festivals 98 & 99, Ninja Tune tour and the Balaeric events, and are renowned for hosting chill tent at Summer Of Love, Vortex and Alien Safari that have helped define outdoor trance and music festivals.

Krushed & Sorted have since become one of the country's most sought after production teams, mixing and mastering all releases on African Dope (African Dope Vol 1 compilation, Felix Laband, Moodphase5ive, Kalahari Surfers) and a myriad of jobs for corporate clients, including composition and sound design for television and cinema ads for, among others, BMW, NBS, Nike, Redds Cider, Triumph, Peter Stuyvesant, Exact, Markhams and Archers Aqua.

They are widely recognised as leading figures in the SA music underground, and credited with kickstarting a new generation of music from Cape Town.

the album - "acid made me do it"

Krushed & Sorted's debut album - released in April 2000 - reflects this diversity of musical taste, drawing from influences (and samples!!) of classic dub, 40's jazz, old comedy records, old-skool jungle and psychedelic ambience, and fusing these with the freshest in cutting-edge breakbeats, filtered loops, sub-bass technology and state-of-the-art digital post-processing techniques. The result is a madcap, new assault on the breakbeat and drum n bass genres of modern electronic music.

Acid Made Me Do It is an album in celebration of the home studio, created almost entirely on a 5 year old Pentium 166 computer, a Yamaha A3000 sampler and cutting-edge audio production software. It was assembled, mixed and mastered entirely at Krushed & Sorted Studios in Cape Town.

Following international dates during April / May 2001 in the Czech Republic and Netherlands, and Solipse festival in Zambia 2001, K&S headed back to Europe to perform at the illustrious Pukkelpop and Lowlands festivals in Belgium and Prague in August 2001 and then toured again in the Netherlands and Belgium in April and May 2002, and in London in August 2002.
