DJ CRAZE [3x World DMC Champ] + KEIR (Melb) Thurs March 20- Crown & Sceptre

Eclipse presents

DJ CRAZE [USA]
3x WORLD DMC CHAMPION

Plus KEIR (Melb)

Thursday March 20 (Good Friday Eve)
Easter Weekend
Crown & Sceptre
Small Capacity Intimate event complete with birds eye view video of the decks, projector and screen

After seeing Craze relgated to only a one hour set with very little DnB at Parklife, we're pleased as punch to have this amazing performer back performing at an intimate Eclipse Event on Good Friday Eve.

Expect a two hour mashup of hiphop, rock, funk, electro, house, drum & bass, turntablism and all things nice (complete with projector screen and VJ). Anyone who came to see Craze at St Pauls in October 2006 will know just what's instore. This will be a strictly limited capacity show as we are deliberately aiming for an intimate event. I'll be really surprised if we can't sell this out prior to the night.

Sick

I didn't think craze played DnB anymore.

He played DnB at Parklife so he was definitely still playing it 2 months ago.

It may have been cheesy DnB, but it was DnB none the less.

no shit the dude has mad skills but he was fukn terrible at parklife.  stay hip hop homeboy! or put your headphones on

I think he was drunk at Parklife hey, haha. I was all ready to see his 2006 set repeated for a festival crowd and Craze went for this Summertime party set and left the normal Craze stuff to Scratch Perverts. Just wait. This will be the good stuff =)

I thought he played Miami Bass or some shit now

Its not very professional to come over as a main act international DJ and get drunk and play terrible as Patchy said I wasn't their but heard similar reports.

Anyway da brother has got skill thats for sure.

At Parklife he had a Coopers in his hand the whole time 

He's jumped on the Baltimoe bandwagon like a LOT of ex-DMC DJs have. Baltimore House is basically stuff like Kid Sister and Spank Rock and shit, it's like Miami Bass crossed with early-90s Hip House. I like a few Baltimore tunes, but most of it just shits me to tears unfortunately. DJ Klever plays that stuff too now, and A-Trak is part of Kid Sister.

Is it any coincidence that all mentioned DJ's are members of turntablist crew The Allies? I reckon Craze'd be like "All right fellas, I'm into this now. Jump on it." and they follow suit like little puppy dogs wishing to impress their owner. Having said that, The Allies, and all individual members, kick fucking ass.

I'm yet to see Craze - will definitely be keen for this!!

Venue announced- Crown & Sceptre.

We're pretty excited that we get to give Craze the Kid Koala & Kentaro Ninja Session style treatment with an intimate Crown & Sceptre gig. I think we'll spring for a camera and projector for this event just to make it extra special.

The Sceptre is one of the only venues in Adelaide with a late licence on Good Friday eve and can stay open til 5am so we'll probably rock out some turntablists early and run the DnB through nice and late after Craze's set.

I'm confused... is this on Good Friday Eve, or March 20.
Because if my memory serves me right (and it may not), Good Friday is in April yeah???

not necessarily. depends on the moon or some shit!!  last year easter was in march, and praps the year before too!

Alright, I'm still confused... oh well, March 20 must be right then.

I think I might try and make this one... especially if it is on Good Friday Eve.
Nothin better to on that day besides sleep (or continue drinking n stuffs).

Keir from Melb is now added to the lineup doing a DnB set straight after Craze with MC Pase. We also have another live act on before. Should be a bit of everything at this gig. We just got the Onion cover so I recommed presales to this. Keeping about 130 tix for on the night sales only.

hope you've been practicing your poker simo!

lookin forward to it!

how much is this?

25 on the eclipse website. Probably a few dollars more in shops.


Edit: Oh and Dale if you're reading this on the website you can still buy nutone and cyantific tickets...

 

Be pretty funny if Someone actually bought one.

I will have to see whether I'm working this night. Would be good to see.

I ws gonna go but reckon I'll save my cash and have a big one at Nu:tone instead.

There many presales left for this? Keen enough to go not sure whether I'm working that night or not yet.

and that live act will be a project myself ( ANZAC), DJ OSYRIS ( 2007 Melbourne DMC finalist, Zhivago resident) and Matt Robinson ( Saxophone nutter), have been working on called: THE PRODUCT.

Here's a quick bio:
THE PRODUCT

Bubbling away under the surface of the Adelaide live dance arena for the last year, the unlikely collaboration of 2 turntablists and 1 saxophonist  have been toiling away in an Adelaide foothills studio defining a sound that balances the technicality of turntablism, the pedigree of jazz and soul and  dance floor friendly beats, riffs and rhythms. THE PRODUCT made their live debut at the Crown n Sceptre early in 2007 and are ready to bounce on back this year, with the delivery of the ever infectious James Brown Tribute Set.
 Brown is to THE PRODUCT, that Hendrix is to any guitarist or Dylan to any songwriter, a hero and major influence. So it seems fitting that the three mates, ANZAC, DJ OSYRIS and Matt ‘Robbo’ Robinson, who met through sharing the same tastes in music that James Brown had influence over ie: soul, jazz, hip hop, pay homage to the Godfather of funk.

Cant wait for this gig, me and the boys are well amped.

Peace
ANZAC

oh awesome!!! will def have to come out for this.. spesh to see mr anzac play

i'm still hearing rumors craze isn't playing dnb anymore can any1 confirm or deny this?

i'm not gona rock up if he's playing the elektro stuff i keep hearing that he is

 Yeah he plays Baltimore style or whatever it is i think. The last interview I read he said he was sick of dnb.

 

the last coupla sets of his i've seen i was sick of him playing d'n'b too

agreed

thats what i saw thats what made me question whether he'd be even playing dnb

yeah can we get some confirmation on what style he will be playing because if its hip hop and dnb then ill probably go but on the other hand if its electro and house then i wont.

He's playing a mashup of all styles. If you think he'll get away with not playing any DnB at any gig of mine you'd be mistaken though and KEIR will be playing a full DnB set directly following.

Craze will play his set though for the most part. I've downloaded some recent mixes and I think anyone would be crazy to think they know better what a 3x DMC world champ should play than he does. I'm heaps excited to see what he rolls out. I love my turntablists. Oh my.

keir will be on rollerz with me tommorow night to give u a taste of what he has install for thursday. he is one of my fav aussie djs.

Set times like this...

9pm-11pm Jumbo
11-12am THE PRODUCT LIVE
12am-2am DJ CRAZE
2am-330 KEIR + MC PASE
330-Close Batch + Grossy

awesome   

big up eclipse!!!!

spent a few mins scrolling through but couldn't see a price. anyone?

$25

And maybe $30 on the door? Cheaper if your an Eclipse member...

Hopefully I'll be able to make it to this after I finish work. Probably wouldn't be until 1ish though.

Should be fun! keen to check "The Product" for the first time too 

Yep Yep, can't wait to turn James Brown on his head and funk the fuck out.
Hella keen for Craze, cant wait to see his mash ability with whatever genre he lays down.

Sceptre's where its at tonight!!!

anyone know what or who "Jumbo" is?

No idea. Got knocked off work since it was dead though so I reckon I might head in.

Ah what a waste of time. Drove all the way in and the people before me got the last tickets. What really ups me is that they were just looking for a place do drink up that was open until late and had no idea of who Craze was or didn't care at all about the music. Was pretty keen as well.

It's unfortunate man...especially since you were working and couldn't prebuy.

I tried to warn everyone that this would sellout easily. It sucks watching 100+ people get turned away at the door but if nothing else hopefully it gets a few more people buying tickets in advance which is a feat in Adelaide, trust me. I can tell you Pendulum Live will be a similar debacle. No way with current ticket sales it won't sell out prior to the night and I guarantee everyone starts calling after it sells out or kick up a stink at the door on the night. We won't be keeping anything up our sleeves on this believe me. Once it sells out, that'll be it I'm afraid.

Yeah that was the worst thing since I wasn't sure whether I was going to be able to make it in I didn't want to fork out the cash early. Did your bro end up going in Dale?

Yeah man, Alex had a ball

Yo, after being sick for the last week thought I'd jump on and say thanks to those who attended and showed some love. Me and the boys had a ball. Craze as always was dope as fark.

Highlight of the night for me was Craze being so short he had to borrow Osyris' Turntable flightcase to stand on lol.

Thanks to Eclipse for lettin us unleash on a wicked crowd.

So on behalf of THE PRODUCT, Cheers!!!
