   About Powercut
So, I'm a Bristol based DJ/promotor, part of the Funk From The Trunk collective and resident at We Like To Party at Timbuk2, Byte at Native, as well as rocking the second room at Shoestring and Hospitality with partner in crime Mr Lingo. I've supported artists such as The Herbaliser, Fat Freddys Drop, Nextmen, Roots Manuva, Coldcut, Andy Smith, Boca 45, K-Delight, DJ Skully, Krafty Kuts, Klashnekoff, Jehst, C2C, Cut La Roc, Flevans, Jon Kennedy, Wiley, Andy C, High Contrast, Ed Rush, Klute, Lo Fidelity Allstars etc. My DJ sets focus on anything with a heavy, funky drum break. See above for upcoming nights...

I'm going to be slowly updating this to include my tunes and mixes. So far I've just put up a Beastie Boys mashup I made to play out. If anyone wants a 320 mp3 of this then send me message and I'll hook you up.

Hey!

We just recently finished our EP and are so proud, all the hard work payed off! If you have a few minutes please give it a listen and tell us what you think :)

"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.

"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with greater conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.

It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.

What’s Crackin’ Powercut ?
We’re hitting back our myspace folks to let you know that your prayers have been answered. What prayers, you may ask. Well, today my friends, the good reptiles over at Bossasaurus (namely the ones writing this message) have teamed up with Murs (Living Legends, Def Jux, 9th Wonder, etc.) to, for the first time ever, offer you a taste of our music with an emcee over them. If you hate emcees and were feeling the tranquility of our un-defiled instrumental works than we sincerely apologize for our critical error in judgment. Otherwise come on over and check out:








We hope you enjoy it. If you don't come thru and talk that sweet smack.
