ELECTROSANNE FESTIVAL 2009

Artist of the week:

Dj Craze ( USA / Ammo Records )

Craze's life is a legacy of rags to riches, geek to chic, no‐name to world fame. He never had it easy ‐ his is a story that's an uphill battle, but a story that ends right at the top. And that he proved – 3 times at the DMC World Championships, an unprecedented record, and a title that no other solo DJ has yet to match. While Craze is regarded internationally and unquestionably as one of the best scratch DJs in the world. On top of his untouchable turntablist skills and scratch champion showmanship, the world has also recognised that Craze is a second to none club DJ – he has toured the globe over. All DJing aside, Craze is also a world‐ renowned producer, releasing wildly successful drum'n'bass records. It's the respect from both DJs and audiences alike that has paved Craze's seamless move between hip hop and turntablism to drum'n'bass. This is Craze – the man who arguably defined his hometown Miami turntablism scene, only to return now to reinvent this take on the Miami sound; a neo‐genre of his own special blend of every which way club codes from the ghosts of discos past, present and future.

Friday 18th of September / 2h00 / Loft Club / Lausanne
