Dj Krime, born in 1978 in Krakow Poland, from birth was deeply immersed in music and creativity. His musical journey started in the tender age of 7, when he went to music school to learn about music and study violines and piano for over 12 years.

His first concious contact with hip hop music was in the late 80’s when his older brother gave him a copy of a Run DMC “Raising Hell” tape. In the early 90s his older brother Mk Fever started to organize parties in Krakow, which was pretty much the birth of what is known as club culture in Poland today. He was playing vinyl, cds, and tapes.

In 1993 the brothers got a set of some cheap belt driven turntables, and a mixer without crossfader, and then Krimes dj adventure took it first baby steps. The Brothers moved on a set of Technics turntables. In the Year 2000 Krime became a participiant of the internationally renowned Red Bull Music Academy which was held in Dublin, Ireland, being a only hip hop dj chosen from Poland, and one of the very fews in the whole academy that year.

In the Year 2001 Krime took part in the first edition of Vestax Turnatblist Extravaganza Eastern Europe, and took the first place. Krimes musical styles developed with time and he started to play really diffirent styles of music.

Specially fascinated with jazz, funk, and soul, Krime started to to dig in the crates. In his sets you can hear basically every music thats good, because there is only good and bad music, and the names are not so important.
