DJ Ides - Got Funk?
Crossfade presents Q45 & DJ Amy B
Friday April 20
– Brown Alley
As Crossfade builds from strength to strength , we welcome back one of Sydney's tightest DJ's Q45 along with special guest MC Amy B.
Q45 is attempting to move beyond the limitation of “genre”. Although he is most often described as a breaks DJ, this London born/Sydney raised producer/DJ loathes pigeonholing and is coming to Melbourne to display his impressive, yet remarkably eclectic sets !
Growing up in South London in the late eighties left DJ Q45 with lasting and impressionable memories of Hip Hop and electronic music’s arrival. There were the breakers in the street, laying down the lino and cranking up the ghetto blaster. There was the early ravers returning home when young Q45 was getting up to go to school or soccer matches. In 1987, aged 10, he bought his first record – “The Show” by Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew – A seminal Hip-Hop record which, occasionally, he still plays to this day.
Essentially Q45’s sets draw on his past influences, he likes to show the links, build bridges, between different genres. His sets encompass Hip-Hop, Breaks, Acid Jazz, Drum & Bass, Trip Hop, and Two-step, but as the one like the Q45 says “Its one thing to be eclectic, but the hard part is to be able to mix different styles together so that it flows – that is where I come in”.
