DJ Ojciec Karol and mC glennSKii will be performing at events in the UK from the 14th to the 23rd of March.
Additional UK promoters are sought for cooperation on this tour.
DJ Ojciec Karol (OY-chets KA-roll)
Ojciec Karol is a DJ and a producer of Breakbeat Funk music and a founding member of the “Break Da Funk” collective. He is also a DJ and scratcher in a Hip-Hop band called “Bassgrou”.
His scratches have also been used on LP’s of bands including Patent, Bassgrou, Marika, and Letko. Ojciec Karol operates in music genres such as New-Funk Breaks, Old-School Hip-Hop, Heavy Funk, Big-Beat, and B-Boy Breaks. Organic analog sounds with broken beats, smashing bass, scratches and spiritual energy is really what this “Tigger likes best”!
For more than a year, Ojciec Karol and DJ Spike were on the radio waves with the “Break Da Funk” show in Jazz Radio FM, where Break and Funk fans enjoyed a fusion of music mixed live in the studio along with the live instruments of guest musicians.
Now they run a weekly radio show on Radio Kampus 97.1 FM. Ojciec Karol is also a Break DJ who played at various B-Boy contests across the country. He released a mix CD titled „Akumulatura”. It was a mixture of various breaks. Recently he’s finished a new mix CD "Sepukultura" featuring live musicians. Now he and DJ Spike are working on their debut album "Break Da Funk". kWaSdLaMaS! You know the score...Peace
