Krash
Hi my name is Krash is a DJ and bass/bassline producer heavily influenced by the infamous Sheffield sound and underground rave scene. He’s been DJing for almost 4 years and started seriously making music about a year ago.
He’s have spent many years traveling out to raves embracing the scene and discovering most of my influences and inspirations in his own production.
“Going Home was quite an early project of mine, it being made not long after starting my music making journey. In retrospect it shows my progression over the past year I’ve been making music. This track matches the whole vibe of when you’re in the taxi heading home after the rave with its cool down but still energetic vibe.”
Mighty Funk’Houser
Seeing and witnessing him in action is his CV. No pen
to paper or fingers to the keyboard… just “Funkz”, the
decks, the mic and his real life vibes!
As the saying goes; “Actions speak louder than words”.
I choose to say less and do more.
Here are a few artists and DJ’s who I have
been thankful enough to have played amongst
and hosted for: Anouj, Afronaut & Mark Force [Bugz in the Attic], Aluku Rebels, Ben Hauke, Chino-Vv, Down Town Calling, DJ Q, Henry Wu, IsThatYou, Sy Sez, Soulful Grooves, Comfy Bella, Very Soulful Productions, plus many more.
“I’m here to have fun, experience, learn, gain knowledge, spread a message, create a vibe, dance and finesse my style, as well as pass on all that I have witnessed to the next souls in line.
This journey is different for each individual so I tell you now; NEVER watch face just DO YOU!
We will see when the lights are on/off, when the
sun rises and sets and when the moon is at its most
brightest in the sky.
That’s all for now, see you in a session.
Peace and love is the order of the day”.
