DJ Krucial is from the Washington, D.C. Metro Area, but has lived in Boston, MA for 10+ years, where he attended and graduated from Boston University. "If you've ever listened to the radio in D.C., you've heard my [natural] style...cuttin' and a scratchin', quick-change, with an underlying funk. I grew up listening to dj's like FunkFlex, The Super Funk-Regulator DJ Cee-Lo, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Q-bert, Rob Swift, and the BeatJunkies...and I definitely exhibit a bit of all of them in my music. I'm into a huge range of material, from Blues and Jazz to Baltimore House, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Reggae, Electro and RnB. But my experiences take me around the globe musically...Soca, Baile Funk, High Life, Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Calypso...I'm always trying to expand and experiment with different kinds of music."
Most notably, other than Chu, Krucial has played alongside DJ Geometrix & DJ Sneek of the Trooperz Turntable Crew (VA/DC), DJ Special Blend (Bos/NY), Megastar DJ Ricky Fatts [C&K], DJ Excel the Mixmaster (NY/Bos) [C&K], and DJ G-Squared of the Kreators/G-Squared Productions, with Adam Ezra Group (includ. Crawl Tour '06) [C&K], as stage DJ with Hoopla (Boston-based Hip-Hop duo), Sol Anderson, Zynthea Rose, Kira, JTronius, Broken Branches, Mike Boston, MadUnique, Mighty Yotes, JMC, Roc Solid, & Singapore Kane (Boston M.C.), as well as, in conjunction with DJ Ghost, from Mykonos, Boston Area DJ/Producer, DJ Supreme One [C&K], DJ 7L (of 7L & Esoteric) [C&K], Maylyn Murphy, Danielle Scott, Project Move, Javier (Columbia Recording Artist) [C&K], Matt Cusson [C&K], KUKU (Nigeria), Soulfege (Ghana/Boston), Africa Great Lakes Ensemble, Samba (Kenya), j.e. borgen, Ceramic, Dana Edelman, Aderbat, Big Willie Green (Boston-Area Producer/Engineer) & Braddigan (from DISPATCH)...*[C&K]=both CHU & KRUCIAL...
