From his work as a founding member of the infamous Glitch Mob to his groundbreaking solo work, Kraddy (born Matthew Kratz) has always been known for shattering genre conventions while moving crowds everywhere from Red Rocks to L.A.’s famed Low End Theory club. From his breakth rough 2008 hit “Android Porn” to the innovative bangers comprising his latest e.p. Labyrinth (Alpha Pup), Kraddy continues to hybridize hip-hop, dubstep and dancehall with face-melting panache and rock and roll bravado. But the man himself was as surprised as anyone when the mainstream crossed over to him. With its epic melody, dramatic build s, and speaker-shuddering bass drops, “Android Porn” was hailed as the anthem of the decidedly maverick “glitch hop” movement, getti ng remixed by everyone from Mochipet to breakbeat icon Si Begg. Soon, however, the song started appearing beyond the sweaty, crowded dancefl oors that are Kraddy’s mainstay, getting licensed for TV shows like “America’s Best Dance Crew” and “America’s Got Talent”; a Hungarian dance troupe’s outrageous performance to the track quickly became a YouTube sensation. Having a format-obliterating viral smash made it easier when it became clear his alliance with West Coast elect ronic-music legends the Glitch Mob was ending. “It was an amicable s plit—we all agreed I’m more of a solo artist,” Kraddy recalls. With the Mob, it was hard to have a clear voice; I was restrained— it grew apparent that I had a different vision then they did. ‘Andro id Porn’ kicked a door open in my mind, and I saw a whole host of ne w possibilities.” Labyrinth signifies the pinnacle of a musical evo lution that began when Kraddy moved from his native New York to San Fr ancisco. He soon became a mainstay of that city’s beat scene: changi ng the game with his 2003 debut album, Truth Has No Path, Kraddy conti nued to gain notoriety with a series of unorthodox releases, from “F aux Show” (a raw remix of Ol’ Dirty Bastard's \"Shimmy Shimmy Ya\" ) to his second full-length, The Illegal Album, which fused Kraddy's r adical production chops with classic hip-hop/dancehall a capellas. Mov ing to L.A while releasing notable remixes for the Infesticons and Moc hipet and a series of coveted bootleg mashups and mixtapes all built t o Kraddy’s latest evolution, which has moved beyond pure electronics : his live shows will soon feature a live drummer, taking Kraddy even closer to a style he calls “Led Zeppelin 3000.” “It’s full and epic and shameless, but Kraddy-style,” he laughs. “That’s what I’ve always want to do, and now I’m doing it.”\n\nFor more infor mation visit http://trueskool.com/events/kraddy-album-release-party DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111008T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20111009T030000 CATEGORIES:san, francisco, ca LOCATION:MIGHTY, San Francisco WEBSITE:http://kraddymighty.eventbrite.com/ URL:http://kraddymighty.eventbrite.com/ CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="Carey Kopp":http://trueskool.com/profile/k85 ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2247901563?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Carey Ko pp":http://trueskool.com/profile/k85 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
