DJ Krafty Kuts at The Scott Arms

Krafty Kuts, the undisputed King of Breaks, performs live at the Scott Arms Kingston.

Funky Lemonade presents another Kracking night on Saturday 31 May when Krafty Kuts takes over the ones and twos from 7pm til late backed by a heavyweight line-up featuring Cursa, Bubaking, DJ Junk and Cut La Funk.

If you’ve already been to a Funky Lemonade night at the Scott Arms, you’ll know that you’re in for a night of floor-filling beats, great vibes and the very best hospitality. And we’ve got a Korker planned for the next party when Krafty Kuts, aka DJ Martin Reeves, performs live and direct into the night.

Renowned and respected worldwide for his highly technical turntablism, meticulously crafted DJ sets and party-punching productions, Krafty Kuts is in a league of his own. One of the key pioneers in the UK breakbeat and bass movement, Krafty Kuts has multiple awards to his name and has released music on the likes of Ministry Of Sound, OWSLA, Southern Fried, DMC, Fabric and many more.

Continuously immersed in beat culture since forming his own b-boy break dancing crew in the late 80s, Krafty Kuts has had his own record store chain, run labels, promoted critical scene events, formed his own band Wicked City and performed to crowds of 40,000 alongside the biggest names in music from the Rolling Stones to The Prodigy. Living, breathing and sleeping the funk without compromise.

Support on the night is a heavyweight too. For the first time we are joined by Bubaking who like to mash it up with an “anything goes including the kitchen sink” attitude and a cheeky old skool twist. The duo have released a series of infamous Mix CDs, a Radio 1 Minimix for Annie Mac, Burgers & Beats Radio Shows, Cheeky Booties/Re-edits and a string of festival appearances.

Also appearing is DJ Junk, a DJ and producer based in Bournemouth. He is part of the UK’s legendary Second To None b-boy crew. Established in 1985, Second To None were one of the best b-boy crews in the world, travelling extensively to jams and events all over Europe and were joint winners of the first ‘Battle Of The Year’ in 1990. Junk began DJ-ing in 1988 and has been producing his own music since 1992 including the ‘Breaker Breaks’ albums on his own Second To None label as well as other titles including ‘Weapons Of Mass Deckstruction’ , ‘Powermoves LP’ , ‘Decks And The City’, ‘Big Mouth/Big Bread Winner’ & ‘Style Wars’.

Back once again we have Cursa, a Bournemouth-based hip hop DJ and passionate 7-inch vinyl collector with over 25 years experience. One half of the DJ duo ‘Cult.45’, Cursa has been dropping bombs for years now and his sets at Funky Lemonade have been nothing short of phenomenal.

Last and by no means least we have Cut La Funk bringing 25 years of performing alongside some of the greatest in the business, including Sly & the Family Stone, the Fatback Band, Norman Jay and Jazzy Jeff.
