Okay, this is a complicated one...
Back in 2006, Plushgrizzly from Aykaism.ch (now defunct) invited Jon H from Fort Knox Five to play a gig in Switzerland. He recorded the whole evening for a later broadcast on our common radiostation bigbeat.ch (now defunct). I'm not sure, we did ever play it, though... Not even sure if it was ever published in any way.
15 years later, I found this gem on my harddrive and played it during two episodes of my radioshow Eclectix, airing every Sunday, 6pm (cet), on evosonic.de.
First, I didn't want to upload it since I didn't know if it's okay with his friends and family over in DC, but after being asked by FK5 to upload it somewhere public, so they can share it with the world, I guess it is okay... ;)

For those not in the know: Jon H was 1/4 of Fort Knox Five, who died 6 years ago way to early in August 2015. He was an inspiration for way more people all around the world, than he could ever think of and I'm one of them. Thank you, Jon, for everything.

Funk the World 82

This here is our latest offering of fresh new jams and classic cuts with stacks of exclusive unreleased gems put together for your listening pleasure. 

Adventures In Beats

So after an amazing week in Baku Azerbaijan I decided to dedicate that week at the Redbull 3style World Mixing finals with a Podcast. It was the perfect opportunity to work on something that was very inspiring. This mix showcases all my varied styles of music I like to encompass in a Krafty set, in the typical style of the Redbull competition. Utilising 3 styles of music in my case a lot more which gave me the opportunity to dig deep, pull out some funky tunes, blend, scratch and mix a heap of Kraftyness. Being a judge at this event, spending time with the likes of Jazzy Jeff, Skratch Bastid, D-Styles, Q_bert & Shortkut Z Trip, & more I came away feeling blessed & inspired by all of these incredible artists. Big shout to the organiser Kenny Macintrye from Redbull  and everyone  involved for helping me become a better DJ and witness some of the true masters at there craft.
Here is the Mix Only Enjoy

The next instalment of my Golden Era Podcast series is here, Including an interview with Legendary British Funk act Cymande. These are Funk tracks from the 60's - 70's which are my personal favourites and inspired me to do what I do today. Funk is a style, genre a way of life that has been the biggest influence in my career. In this mix it takes in everything that I love about how Funk can be Latin, Jazz, Folk, Rock but if it's Funky then it can fit under that bracket !!
