Craze Kicks Off a New Mix Series Chock Full of "BEATS"

One of the things I've loved about Craze has been his constant search for the perfect beat. I noticed it when he decided to incorporate more of a drum & bass spin into his turntablist sets back in the late '90s, and ever since he's just gone where the sound has taken him.

In this new mix series, Craze is just dropping some fire BEATS. I'd typify it as the sound you hear everyone from Mr. Carmack to Ivy Lab going in on. There's no tracklist, but this is more about mood than trainspotting: "The first of many mixes with this kinda sound … When I asked one of the producers who are spearheading this movement what to call this genre he said “That’s the thing … there’s no name to this genre … they’re just beats” ….. So there it is."

Recently, DJ Craze revisited his love for drum & bass with a massive sixty-minute, 56-track mix of strictly Ram Records material. If you've followed Craze's career, you'd know that post-turntablism days, he was heavy in the dnb scene before dipping out because of the fuckery. Word is this set made him revisit some of those feels, and who knows, maybe we'll get more on the dnb tip? For fans of the historic Ram imprint, mixes like these are crucial.

A-Trak and Craze Played a Two-Hour Hip-Hop Set During HOLY SHIP 2015

With the HOLY SHIP! festival catering to the EDM set, it's not normal to hear many full-on hip-hop sets in that environment. Turntablist champions A-Trak and Craze, who were both a part of the Allies before "EDM" turned into a widely used term, went back-to-back for two hours, dropping nothing but rap on that ass. We're talking Lil Wayne's "Go DJ," old Outkast, Busta Rhymes, NORE, Nas, and so much more. It's fire for your Super Bowl party, trust we.
