058 – Kutmah

Kutmah is one of those DJ’s DJs that you hear about every now and again (see Oneman, Cherrystones, Gerd Jansen et al). What separates him from that coveted tag is his lack of reliance on the traditional methods of moving crowds; knowing that a well-placed motown record can make people go just as nuts as the latest club banger is a DJing philosophy he’s made entirely his own. It’s this restless bravery that’s enamoured many around the world, and seen him forge strong links with Brainfeeder, Stones Throw and NTS as a result. For this mix, recorded live at Dimensions Festival last year, he blends up an hour’s worth of the dustiest boom-bap, ageless soul cuts and the sharpest hip-hop variations.

Dimensions Festival takes place on 27th – 31st August 2014. Fort Punta Christ, Pula Croatia
