On the intro to one of Crookers more eclectic electronica jams, the words “I’ll suck a p**sy, f**k a p**sy, leave it!” sound ad infinitum. The quote seems to be more of a credo than a credence, one The Crookers obviously apply not only to their sex lives (just a hunch) but also to their DJing techniques. But what may at first seem like an attack of frenzied techno and bizarre effects can actually be further dissected into something quite complicated that requires quite a lot of skill: it’s such a combination of stealthful mixing that jumps all over the place. There’s a little bit for everyone here: rave, funk, mambo, and of course the hard-hitting beats they’ve already become notorious for. Comprised of two DJs from Italy, Phra and Bot, the two have been at it for quite a while (Phra has been DJing since age eleven; Bot’s been playing a variety of different instruments including piano, guitar, etc. since he was a wee lad). No small potatoes! Anyways, enjoy a listen on Red Bull Music Academy Radio.
