Back To Mine - Krafty Kuts

The acclaimed Back To Mine series opens its account for 2008 with a superlative set from super deck technician, Krafty Kuts, AKA Martin Reeves. Much admired for his faultless abilities behind the wheels of steel, Krafty follows on from the heavyweight selections of Royksopp, Bugz In The Attic and Guillemots with a funk-fuelled collection, cut and scratched across a gamut of grooves, stretching from party beats to laidback lounge favourites.

Slipping effortlessly into the languid and loose sax vibes of Sharpshooters' 'Pork Pie Stride', Krafty Kuts displays his infamous skills chopping into Massive Attack's debut single 'Any Love'. The jeep beats of Pete Rock & CL Smooth's signature tune 'T.R.O.Y' signals a shift in tempo, cranking up the flow, before Krafty drops the iconic riffs of The Incredible Bongo Band's 'In-A-Gadda-da-Vada' that recently saw club action at the hands of Hip-Hop herald, Nas, as the central sample in 'Hip-Hop Is Dead'. Kenny Dope in his Power House 3 guise and the true king of old skool Electro, Captain Rock, keep the funk factor at maximum, until Martin's Balearic side shines through with Paul Hardcastle's 'Rain Forest' providing a cool interlude.
