A.Skillz and Krafty Kuts

A perfect down-home party record. Krafty Kuts has delivered nothing but tasty beats since his first release on Fatboy Slim’s label Southern Fried, and this is his finest work yet, in collaboration with hip hopster A. Skillz. The fusion of K’s cuts and A’s scratching and deckmanship make for a party album that doesn’t have a peer unless you go back to the good ol’ days of Brooklyn. There’s a sprinkle of soul, a cup of hip hop and a healthy dollop of whipped funk in this record that sits firmly in the present, looking backwards to the best of New York’s innocent years and setting the future pace for breaks LPs. Drop the top, turn up the stereo and go for a ride…this is the album for summer this year.
