About CRAZYLEGS. TERROR DANJAH. BADNESS. BOK BOK. 27/11.
Crazylegs is Bristol's most exciting bass music party right about now. We bring the most hyped DJs on the planet to our clubnights on a regular basis. We rep the freshest sounds in dubstep, garage, grime, bassline, UK funky, fidget, baltimore, bashment... everything that's hot NOW.
We've put on big collaborative parties with Dirty Canvas, Wifey and Pollen and we're soon to organise events with Night Slugs, Seasonfive, Mad Decent/BuggedOut and Penguin Dance. We've booked DJs from Rinse.fm, Hyperdub, Planet Mu, Tempa, Dress2Sweat, Deja Vu, Applepips, Punch Drunk and HENCH. We were recently featured in FACT magazine, and have been bigged up on Rinse.fm, Passion Radio and by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1.
We've also just released the first instalment in our new DJ mix series. Available for free download and as a limited run of free CDs, we'll be aiming to release a new one every couple of months. Crazylegs 001 is mixed by Smutlee, and we've already lined up a handful of the UK's top DJs to record mixes in the near future.

CRAZYLEGS 004: a five-part minimix series
Following on from mind-blowing mix sessions earlier this year by Smutlee, Grievous Angel and Shortstuff, the Crazylegs mixtape series is about to return in full effect - perfectly in sync with the buildup to our first birthday party!
Except this time we're doing it a little differently. Crazylegs 004 isn't just one mix, it's FIVE mixes - each comprising roughly 30 minutes of the sickest underground bass music, each mixed by an artist from the amazing birthday party lineup, and all to be released in quick succession in the buildup to the event itself!
004.1: SCRATCHA DVA
First up, a man that needs little introduction. Traditionally one of grime's elite producers, the brilliant host of Rinse.fm's controversial breakfast show and newest signing to Kode 9's dubstep flagship label Hyperdub - we bring to you half an hour of the hardest, most twisted UK funky (some might call it "funkstep") from man like SCRATCHA DVA.
At Scratcha's request, we can't publish the tracklist for this mix, but rest assured it is SICK. Tracks from Proxy and Major Lazer jump out as a real indicator where his sound is going at the moment - cold, mechanical beats and distorted bass stabs expertly blended together with deeper UK sounds to satisfy house heads and bass fiends alike. This is something very different, and very special.
