DJ Craze Murdered Respect LA

Back in 1999, I knew of DJ Craze because he was a murderous turntablist, owning any turntable competition he brought his crates to. Somehow, he got bit by the drum & bass bug, and on his debut album Crazee Musick, he had a track—"Mogli"—that found him recreating a thumping jungle track using nothing but vinyl and his turntable. After that, he went on a dnb tear, dropping mixes, incorporating drum & bass sounds into his turntablism sets, and all-around being a G with it.

I remember the dubplate politics souring him on the genre, but he's been a fan, and recently, he took a trip to Los Angeles where he tore down Respect LA with a thunderous mix of drum & bass anthems new and old, as well as some BEATS, that got committed to tape. You can stream this gem (which features Armanni Reign on the mic) below. Enjoy your holiday weekend.

DJ Craze and Four Color Zack Are Back With More of Their '2¢'

Back in September of 2015, DJ Craze and Four Color Zack let me drop their 2¢ mix over on Complex, and earlier this week, we linked back up for round 2. Their mixes aren't just 30+ minute workout sets; they're dropping social commentary in these ill routines, and part 2 takes aim at the growing L.A. DJ problem, Bill Cosby, and those wack dances that creep up in the rap scene. Turntablism fans, turn up to this.
