He's been called the hardest working man in breakbeat and the godfather of party breaks. And on this weeks Breakonomics with Adam Fogarty; the legendary 'KRAFTY KUTS' not only takes the time to talk to Adam about his unique story in another feature length interview, but he also throws down an exclusive guest mix on this weeks 11 O' Clocker Rocker. This is essential listening for all breakbeat fans.

"Inspired by the hip-hop and electro sounds that were rocking his world, Martin first stepped behind a pair of decks when he entered a DJ competition and incredibly, as a complete novice, he made it all the way to the final. With his love affair for the wheels of steel well and truly cemented, Krafty Kuts set about learning his art, perfecting the cutting and scratching that was to become the core of his DJ sets.

From humble beginnings Krafty Kuts is now one of the big players on the world’s club scene DJing alongside The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and even the Rolling Stones. Martin is unequivocally one of the hardest working DJs around and it appears there is no end in sight to the meteoric rise of Krafty Kuts."
