The DJ known as Craze combines a bit of the good old-fashioned spinning of yesteryear (think Public Enemy) and unabashed love of some of today’s newer acts, along with his own home-bred brand of turntablism and freestyling. Because it’s easy to get lost in the weeds of DJs sprouting up everywhere in today’s music scene, it’s likely that  Nicaraguan-born influence, along with a shameless devotion to the classic sounds of Miami Bass, that has him making headlines in the scene: Craze has already won the DMC World DJ Championships (3 times  to be exact, and the only DJ to ever to so), as well as the prestigious honor of being Kanye West’s tour DJ. Songs like “Crabhappy Crabaholics” and “Tekmaster Anthem” point to the DJ’s willingness to poke fun at himself (is it just me or is that a rare trait among DJs nowadays?); what you’ve got is a lot to listen to and even laugh along with. Here’s more of his work on Red Bull Music Academy Radio.
