This will be CRAZE’S third visit to South Africa with Sold Out shows on both previous trips. On top of his untouchable turntablist skills and scratch champion showmanship, the world has also recognized that Craze is a second to none club DJ, This skill coupled with his love for all things BASS translates into a unique performance that is as impressive to watch, as it is to party to.
From hip hop and turntablism to drum’n'bass, to what ...now sounds like club-style Miami bass formed with the technical love of hip hop, clean cuts and ridiculously dextrous scratching, but with a mix up of straight up rap, ghettotech, raw booty house, old-school electro, Baltimore/Miami bass crossover and sweaty lo-end dancefloor music, DJ Craze has gained respect from both Artists & Audience alike, his unique mash up of sounds making it nearly impossible to stand still.
This is Craze: The man who arguably defined his hometown Miami’s turntablism scene, only to return now reinventing 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.
From being Kanye West’s tour DJ for the “glow in the dark” 2008 tour, releasing 2 of the most popular battle records of all time to mixing fabriclive albums. It’s this versatility that continues to see CRAZE blazing a trail of dance floor mayhem across the 4 corners of the globe.
You are... cordially invited to meet DJ Craze as he shares his thoughts on the world of Turntables at an intimate gathering at the Red Bull Studio on Friday night.
