We’re very excited about this week’s Guest DJ because he hails from right here in Brighton, and represents one of our city’s finest labels: Southern Fried. Kashii is a house, garage and dubstep DJ and producer, who, like a musical magpie, flits from genre to genre, selecting the best bits and blending somewhat disparate styles together with ease.
Kashii’s played alongside Zinc, A-Trak and Skream, and in June released his ‘Tru Da City’ EP, a collection of laidback tunes made in the UK Garage tradition.
In this mix that plays like a timely tribute to old school house and garage, Kashii takes us on a journey that checks beautifully lilting melodies and some euphoric breakdowns, though his playful style ensures there are no dips in energy, and keeps everything fresh. There are tunes by Joy Orbison and L-Vis 1990, as well as Kashii himself.
Kashii plays live at Volks on the 3rd November. Make sure you’re there.
