DJ KRUSH - 20th Anniversary Tour - 28 Jan 2012

November 4, 2011

The undisputed Godfather of the electronic beats scene, DJ Krush, celebrates 20 years since his first ever live gig with a very special 3 hour set sure to delight his legion of fans!

DJ Krush’s importance as a music producer cannot be underestimated and without him some of the biggest artists Soundcrash puts on would simply not exist, at least in their present form. But despite his enormous influence, DJ Krush has always been a live performer at heart, honing his skills to perfection throughout the years and now capable of building layer after layer after layer of drum samples to the point where his audience have no choice but to completely lose it and immerse themselves fully in the wonderful, dark, and downright genius world of DJ Krush.

In every good beat worth its salt in the past 20 years there is a bit of DJ Krush. In the really good ones, there is a lot. And tonight, we get 3 hours straight from the source. It’s time to celebrate.

Masaaki Yoshida, aka Anchorsong came to become a Soundcrash resident artist through personal recommendation from Dj Krush, and so it is only natural that he plays tonight. A natural rhythm fiend, Anchorsong creates lush electronic beatscapes live with the help of drum machines, looping stations, beatboxing and keyboards, building soaring tunes that will get you nodding your head at first and jumping with excitement after a while.

Representing London’s vibrant beat scene is Kidkanevil, a versatile producer equally at ease making beats in his studio or playing out in clubs, giving his live sets a distinct personality as he weaves his own productions with the heaviest beats around and manipulating them to his advantage – and ours. Check out his Raymond Scott remix album free to download on his bandcamp page for some serious bass geekery, and make sure you catch his set at The Forum. This man can really work a room.
