艺人介绍

Martin Reeves化名Krafty Kuts在碎拍界打拼,至今已有10年经历,从96年便出道,直到98年在英国碎拍现行厂牌FSUK旗下发表首张个人单曲Funky Elements,已经当之无愧为碎拍一代元老.至今拥有5张混音专辑和1张创作专辑,并协助三大厂牌Super Charged,Against The Grain和Finger Lickin'创建,至今这三大厂牌已经是Funky Breaks界非常重要的三巨头.而在全球最权威的年底碎拍DJ评选榜单Breakspoll上,Krafty Kuts在04和05两年一直都占据No.1的头衔,再加上今年出色的表现,继续蝉联也不是不可能.

96年Big Beat兴盛到98年Nu Skool Breaks的诞生与发展,正当Adam Freeland和Rennie Pilgrem两大元老为此忙碌不已的时候,Krafty Kuts在99年的首张混音专辑Slam The Breaks On,就出彩的把Hiphop概念带入碎拍界,此作中选取的包括Jurassic 5,De La Soul,MixMasterMike这样Hiphop界响当当的人物的曲目,配合Drumattic Twins,Cut La Roc等一些先行Funky Breaks艺人,将Funky Breaks这个概念首次带上台面.第二年跟进的此作第二集,已经完全算是一张Funky Breaks佳作.在2001年Krafty Kuts接受著名杂志Mixmag邀请打造了以现场气氛为主的Instant Party With Krafty Kuts,以及跟进的一系列现场巡演,深深的把那股Funky+Hiphop的现场气氛带入每个乐迷心中.

02年开始,Nu Skool Breaks和Funky Breaks成为主流的碎拍两大类型.当年和Q45合力为Fuzzy Breaks打造厂牌系列的首作,大玩Hiphop的风格令人一下无法适应,而04年又与House艺人Yousef合作的一张混音,完全转变的风格也是让人有点大跌眼镜,不得不让人承认是有点失败的两作.

但是与A Skillz的合作,则是Krafty Kuts事业的一大高峰.03年两人在Funky Breaks指标型厂牌Finger Lickin'旗下发表的创作专辑Tricka Technology,不光是和T.C. Izlam合作的同名单曲成为年度最佳Funky Breaks单曲,更是帮助Krafty Kuts夺得次年的Breakspoll No.1 DJ.

进入06年Kafty Kuts事业是更上一层楼,在先行单曲Tell Me How You Feel,和有着梦幻Soprt Style节奏的BasketballJam,占据各大榜单,跟进的这张Krafty Kuts首张创作专辑Freakshow,更是把近些时间慢慢沉寂的Funky Breaks带出一个全新的高峰,与Stanton Warriors,Plump DJs,Drumattic Twins并成四天王,造就新的Funky高潮.

Internationally renowned breaks DJ/producer Krafty Kuts is the co-founder of the label Against the Grain and has a long list of albums, EPs, and remixes to his credit. Born Martin Reeves and based in Brighton, England, he began DJing at a young age, developing his turntablist skills during the mid- to late '80s. He later worked at a record shop in Brighton and began producing his own tracks. Reeves made his recording debut as Krafty Kuts in 1998 on the Ministry of Sound big beat offshoot label FSUK with the EP Funky Elements. Around this same time, his track "Gimme the Funk" had been championed by Fatboy Slim, who ultimately released it on his Southern Friend Records label in 1999. These initial productions drew attention to Reeves' talents as a DJ, and so he teamed up with fellow breaks DJ/producer Lloyd Seymour (aka Skool of Thought) to form the long-running club night Supercharged. He also released his first mix album, Slam the Breaks On (1999), via Lacerba, and it proved so successful that he released a second volume a year later.

In 2001 Reeves and Seymour furthered their partnership by founding the labels Against the Grain and Supercharged, the former of which was inaugurated with a pair of Krafty Kuts EPs (Lost Plates, Lock the Hype/Smash Your Breaks). Also in 2001, Reeves made his Finger Lickin' Records debut with another pair of EPs (Finger Lickin' Funk, Vol. 1, Dangerous). He later released the full-length album Tricka Technology (2003), a collaboration with A-Skillz, on Finger Lickin' Records. Meanwhile, he continued to showcase his talents as a DJ on mix albums including Fuzzy Breaks, Vol. 1 (2002) and These Are the Breaks (2003), and his live performances earned him a series of Best DJ awards (2004, 2005, 2006) courtesy of Breakspoll. Reeves continued his output in subsequent years, releasing the full-length Krafty Kuts album Freakshow (2006), which spawned the club smash "Bass Phenomenon." Plus, there were more mix albums, including entries in the long-running Fabriclive and Back to Mine series in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
