British multi-award-winning DJ Krafty Kuts is set to deliver his own blend of breaks, electro, dubstep, drum'n'bass and hip-hop to the masses at Subculture, on Wednesday, August 31.
Kuts has hit every major global festival so far the year, and has tours mapped out in Asia, Canada and North America.
His recently launched label, Instant Vibes, has seen its first offering Shake Them Hips well received. Upcoming track Let's Ride, featuring Sporty-O, is gathering gold-standard feedback, while his third studio album is under way.
• An Evening with Krafty Kuts is supported by Queenstown's own Downtown Brown, Turbohag, Jules and D-Jade. Limited $20 pre-sales are available from the Church St basement club, Quest and www.dashtickets.co.nz
