DJ Mixes

5 years ago I decided to put together a mix of chilled beats & laidback grooves, I had no idea it would be so well received. After careful planning, selections & timing I decided it was time to compile another volume in the series. The first mix was one of my favourite mixes, combining all the music I love listening to old & new. With volume 2 I wanted to keep the magic of the first one.. Laidback kick & enjoy the vibe of Eclectic Relaxation Volume 2.

Krafty Kuts & Jimi Needles  Christmas Mini Mix 2021

King Of The Beats !
This the brainchild of Aston from the Freestylers, Martin Krafty Kuts and Lee from Plump DJS.
Years of djing, working on music and generally being good friends they decided to combine forces and came up with their new act  "King Of The Beats"
The concept being all 3 of them have various styles, skill sets and such an eclectic taste that it would be a kaleidoscopic entity of good music and fun times.
As you will hear in this brand new DJ mix they’ve captured that vibe and whether you’re at home, in your car, kitchen or at the gym, it will leave you with a big smile on your face and craving for more.

King Of The Beats is starting a new night at the Arches in Brighton.  A new club called Water Bear & catch us at various clubs & Festivals around the world in the coming months !

King Of The Beats DJ Mix

This is the first Shambhala mix I have ever done after all the years I have played this amazing Festival. Every time I have performed I've come away with countless memories & great moments. This year was exceptional, with DJ Premier, Jazzy Jeff, Skratch Bastid, The Gaff, Chali 2na & Cut Chemist, A.Skillz, Slynk, Fort Knox 5, Q Dup on a Saturday night. I have created the mix exactly how it was performed as  it was not recorded live. Big thanks to Rich E Rich for having me once again, I truly had the most incredible weekend. I hope you guys enjoy this mix as much as I had performing it !

Funk is a style, genre a way of life that has been the biggest influence in my career.

Golden Era Hip Hop Medley

For this mix I wanted to give everyone a little look into music from all genres that has been a major part of my life since the day I played my first record. Making DJ mixes is something I don’t take lightly, this mix once again took the best part of 3/4 months to put together and I loved every minute. Taking influences from Disco, Hip Hop, Funk, Breaks, Acid Jazz & House I wanted to showcase a taste of the incredible tunes that have made me love the Funky side of Things !!!

Funky Side Of Things Vol.1

James Brown for me is the biggest influence in my career!
The first record I ever owned was A James Brown 7”  on People Records "Breakin Bread".

I started collecting all things James Brown related and simply became obsessed with the JB groove. He really was an incredible character but unfortunately passed away in 2006 on Christmas Day, so I felt this was the perfect time to pay tribute to the Godfather of Soul & Funk. This mix encompasses a mixture of James Brown and his Funky People: Fred Wesley, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Hank Ballard, Maceo Parker, The JB’s and more. Without doubt the hardest working man in show business, he toured the world constantly with his band and dancers, performed to millions bringing the Funk to the masses. Who would think back in the 60’s & 70’s that his music would be sampled and be the backbone of Hip Hop,music. The influence his music has had on so many peoples lives is extraordinary and without James Brown and his Funky people I don’t think Hip Hop and even Dance music would be the same. Thank you James RIP the original Funk Soul Brother!

A Tribute To James Brown Podcast Vol. 1

So finally after 4 years I bring to you A Golden Era of Breakbeat Volume 2.
After the overwhelming response to Volume 1 I knew that making Volume 2 was a tough challenge,  so it took a while  to make sure this mix lived up to the success of the first one. Some of the finest moments of my career have been playing Breakbeat. I feel that’s what makes this genre of music so special. I have met some of the most amazing people and experienced incredible highlights in my career.  Running 2 record labels  Against The Grain and the club night Supercharged with Lloyd (Skool Of Thought) traveling the world and sharing Breakbeats so I hope you enjoy this podcast.
