SUBSOUND Liverpool 2013 review

Saturday night (6/2/13) saw the return of SUBSOUND after a great 2012 this time being hosted at HI-FI in Liverpool.

With a glorious line up featuring Dj Rasp, Utah Saints, A-Skillz and  headlined by Krafty Kuts there was a lot for the people to listen to and dance until the early hours.

We arrived in time to see Utah Saints set and were greeted by an already full venue. Utah played a good set and had the crowd, at times, jumping and hollering to the mix. A bit mis-mash for me and not enough of each track played to totally enjoy it. Highlight was obviously playing some of their well know Utah Saints tunes such as Something Good which saw a vast amount of the old-skool up on their feet.

Arguably this warmed up the crowd nicely for A-Skillz to take the stage.His set in comparison was  a more crowd-friendly piece. Playing a vast arrange of music, from Stevie Wonder through to AC/DC, he elegantly made them flow with ease much to  he obvious delight of the crowd, who by this time were in full effect. 

The best thing about the night though was the good vibe coming from the people. The atmosphere was one of joy and it was good to see the old-skool mixing just as easily with the new kids on the block as they were with them.

It was also great to see them taking an effort to make the most of it. Adorned in glowing gloves and long glowing hair extensions it felt like a flashback to the glory days of dance. I even witnessed some dancing round their handbags if you can believe that!

The night was a success on many levels and the fact they had to have a lock out at 1am just goes to show that their is a market for this and hopefully will see more SUBSOUND nights in the future.

Krafty Kuts at the Hi-Fi Club Liverpool - Saturday 02 February 2013

Venue: Hi-Fi
Location: Seel Street, Liverpool

Doors: 22:00 till 05:00

Fresh from a fantastic 2012, SubSound in association with Fingerlickin' Management and Instant Vibes are very proud to bring the legendary Krafty Kuts to Hi-Fi Club Liverpool with his colossal club night  ''An Evening With….''

'An Evening With Krafty Kuts' has been absolutely smashing it as one of the UK's biggest club nights from its home at Cable London, featuring some of the freshest and most impressive DJs and producers on the international scene.  October and Decembers events at Cable saw all records broken with almost 1600 dedicated party people all clambering through the doors and onto the dance floor of the London Bridge nightclub. When it comes to the best in bass driven music and party vibes to keep you bouncing until dawn, Krafty Kuts knows how to bring it!!

Saturday 02 February will see record label owner, producer and DJ extraordinaire A.Skillz return to 'An Evening With….' whose incredible deck talents fuse funk, soul and hip-hop with D’n'B, dub-step and breaks, all sliced, mashed and cut together with his unique style of scratching and mixing. His reputation as a true party rocker has won him prime-time slots across the world at a who’s who of major events, festivals around the globe.  A-Skillz has established himself as one of the most highly regarded in his scene, releasing countless bullets, from the infamous Insane Bangers series to singles on the legendary Finger Lickin’ Records and the now classic artist album ‘Tricka Technology’ celebrating its 10th Anniversary with his stablemate Krafty Kuts.

Joining the headliners in Liverpool are none other than Utah Saints who have been DJ-ing around the globe since the very birth of House music! The Utah Saints list of achievements are literally endless,  they have released 7 Top 40 hits, supported U2 on tour to name just a couple, but their career doesn’t stop there.  The duo are still very much at the top of their game, which they proved in full effect when smashing it at Krafty's Cable night in December!  When the pioneering DJs aren’t playing at clubs and festivals in all four corners of the world, they can be found in the studio working hard on their new material and remixes as well as their brand new SugarBeat label and the new single from the duo will be released in December and the album to follow shortly!

The host with the most Martin Reeves, aka Krafty Kuts, is without doubt one of the world’s greatest DJs.  Lauded in the UK, worshipped in Australia, America and Canada - wherever he plays he is guaranteed to cause a commotion with his riotous skills. So far in a glittering career he has gained dance music’s top accolades including Best International DJ at the Australian Dance Music Awards, Breakspoll’s Face of Breaks 2003 and Best Breaks DJ at the M8 Ibiza awards 2006, in only his first year as a resident on the white isle.  An unparalleled haul at BreaksPoll 2007 saw him claiming Best Album for his debut album Freakshow’, Best DJ for a record third consecutive year and to cap it off, the richly deserved Outstanding Contribution to Breakbeat award that acknowledged his long journey to the acme of club culture.   From humble beginnings Krafty Kuts is now one of the biggest players on the world’s club scene, DJing alongside The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and even the Rolling Stones.  And with his recent stunning album release 'Let's Ride', combined with his continuing residencies around the world, it appears there is no end in sight to the meteoric rise of Krafty Kuts!!

Born and bred in Merseyside, DJ Rasp has become one of the Europe's premier and most respected hip-hop DJ's, and a true ''champion” turntablist.  Rasp started djing back in 1996, influenced by hip-hop dj's and turntablist crews such as Cash Money, ISP & the X-Men. After his initial years of dj'ing at house parties, producing mixtapes and non-stop practising, in 1998 Rasp decided to start competing in the highly technical and competitive DJ battle circuit.  DJ Rasp has become a veteran at DJ competitions, reaching the UK finals many times and becoming double UK champion in 2009, taking both the DMC UK and IDA UK crown's and in 2010 successfully retained his IDA UK champion title and became DMC UK vice champion.
