Cut Chemist | Waterbom Park | Sunday 26 February

Every once in a while an event comes along to really blow you away.

Cut Chemist is one of those DJ’s that has the potential to truly move you. A master of cut’n’scratch, his style is as visual as it is audio, mesmerizing each and every member of the audience.

Starting his career over two decades ago at the prodigious age of 11! Cut’s resumé reads like a who’s who of an entire era of music.

The proclaimed virtuoso of decks shot to fame as a founding member of hip-hop group Jurassic 5 and Latin funk outfit Ozomatli, two hugely successful gigs he managed to run in tandem whilst putting together ground-breaking collaborations with scratch superstar DJ Shadow.

Since going solo in 2006 with his first LP, The Audience Is Listening, Cut has proven his ability to push the boundaries of what exactly a DJ can do to wow crowds the world over.
His explosive 2007 tour supporting Shakira was an exhibition of world music and visuals the scale of which had never before been seen. His passion for Afro-Brazilian sounds, rooted in Ethiopian, Columbian and Sudanese culture brings home to many that hip-hop owes its soul to the sounds of Africa.

Now the turntablist brings his cut ‘n’ scratch live extravaganza, Sounds of the Police, to Bali for one night in support of Sounds of Life, which aims to raise awareness and funds for the selfless work of Robin Lim, whose Bumi Sehat clinics in Ubud and Aceh help underprivileged people through general health facilities and pre and postnatal support for new mothers. All ticket sales will go towards the construction of Lim’s new birthing clinic facility.
