Krafty Kuts

When you enter a DJ’ing competition, having never DJ’d before, and get to the finals, you know you must have chosen the right career path – Krafty Kuts was born, aged 17. Having been responsible for the massively successful “Finger Lickin’ Funk EP”, remixes of Flint and 2InDaBush as well as DJ’ing regularly under the Finger Lickin’ banner, Martin is now firmly part of the Finger Lickin’ family.

Martin Reeves, a.k.a. Krafty Kuts, can truly be recognised as a member of the breakbeat elite. Along with other high profile figures such as Adam Freeland, Rennie Pilgrim, Freq Nasty and the Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts has been instrumental in pushing the breakbeat sound to a world wide audience. He was voted Best International DJ at the Australian Dance Music Awards and the Face of Breaks 2003 at the International Breakspoll Awards. These were the ultimate accolades for his efforts. However, this success didn’t just happen overnight.

Whilst producing and remixing, Krafty Kuts has also managed to maintain his Djing commitments the world over, playing alongside such luminaries as Fatboy Slim, The Freestylers, Jungle Brothers, Scratch Perverts, Roni Size and Armand Van Helden. Amazingly, Krafty still manages to hold down his residency club at Supercharged.

Today, Krafty Kuts is still working harder than ever. At both the 2005 & 2006 Breakspoll Awards he took out the much coveted “BEST DJ” award and has been booked solid all year. Amongst competing a killer remix for Deepcut, Krafty has found time to DJ all over the world and work on his much anticipated artist album, released in early 2006.His debut solo album on Against the Grain features collaborations with Tim Deluxe, Freq Nasty and the Scratch Perverts, among others. In the words of Krafty himself, the album is a monster!
