He is the only solo DJ in history to claim the World DMC Champion trophy 3 times consecutively. Originally from Nicaragua, he now resides in Miami, Florida.

He's said himself: he has to switch genres constantly to keep himself interested after this long in the game. He even said he pisses off his own fans, but he has to do it for himself. He still does hip hop...and everything else. The master.

!!!!Craze is a Legend in the business !!!!!

@imprmc

@2wiceashard

11y

And he also won the DMC mixing championships three years running. One of the best.

@TarmanTheChampion

His beastie boys tribute at paradiso was absolutely insane! No less than perfect!

@truesouljs

Craze won the DMC world championships 3 years in a row on vinyl. He's really good!

@gedbeat15

@glenjamn2 Craze will never sell out, notice he plays shit that's dope right now, but he stays true to his turntablism roots (using traktor vinyls instead of serato discs, scratching, not using the screen to beatmatch)...Craze (alongside Roc Raida) he's the best DJ ever

@DJTonyTrixx

12y

awesome opening, man i wish i could open a show like that. Its crazy skills right there plus awesome quick mixing too.

@itsDjCaliKid

12y↑1

Every set has some preparation behind it. Not every song sounds good after one another just because its the same bpm. You gotta know this broo. and besides i think craze has proved himself enough!

@eduardojvivas

@TheGhettopo

I started to listen to him when he was dj'ing with his old crew "the Aliees"... I think it's more than 6 months ;)

@OrlandoMagicRRZ

respect to the crowd for absorbing crazes dopness!!!

@djski121

Legend in the game!

@Hammisvinet

Sure you can say that. Most musik produced live on the MPC is driven by a beat (kick, snare etc.), while most house and dance musik is more about the synth and vocal these days. You could produce some house musik on the MPC by having a bunch of long synth samples. Or simply the entire synth beat recorded for each sequence, like doing a known song before hand and then remixing it live.

@Dappp66

first drops give me cold chills : p

@TsoLIt

a Dj can do whatever he wants, so if he wants to do this, he will do this.

@The1992Raver

Amazing, I love it! 8-)

@wickedbassn

13y

Craze is just dirrrrrty!!!! :)

@Gremmis

12y

God people also understand the context of this, its a massive dance/electro event. Full credit to him for being able to kill it with many different genres, if he was booked for his hip hop/scratch type set that is what he would play, people have to relax.

@DJPRETTYROX

11y

SPECTACULAR!!

@djclixthebeatman

13y

@alekscee have you watched any of his dmc / itf battle sets got one of the most creative minds in the dj game.

@jawkneejavier

11y↑1

Amazing. This guy doesn't think Craze can do it on vinyl. Craze might be the greatest turntablist of all time. If you're joking then you're hilarious.

@thebub716

14y

@alekscee Craze is a turntablist first and a DJ second...also one of the nicest dudes ive met...earlier that night i met him in person and had a chat with him in Encino CA...right before he got in his car and left to the Avalon...he had a total of 3 shows that day!...talk about working hard...but at the gig he did at Primitve in Encino...he fucking rocked it...scratched like crazy..and was nice enough to let other random ppl jump on and show off....keep in mind hes a 4X WORLD DMC champion

@Roughngreedy

12y

He spoke for "all" djs and talked about how no set was real improve beyond just pushing play on abelton.

@DJRozey

11y

my opinion my fav dj's are craze and jazzy jeff

@Elevated805

11y

WHERE CAN I FIND THAT CONGO STYLE OF MUSIC? OR HELL MORE TRACKS THAT SOUND LIKE KILL NOISE??

@81neelia

Regardless Craze will always be tight as fk.. Everybody has their good & bad times..

@HarsimranSinghMegaShipz

12y

Excellent

@MrFlyboygully

11y

that essentially all of us dj/producers do when we dj live is only press play

@1MreVo8

11y↑2

Funny.. He won the DMC World Championship three years in a row on vinyl..

@dethtour

5x in a row. He's not allowed to compete due to so many wins.

@KyleLaskowskiMusic

12y

Im just starting to dj, and im just using vdj with an vms2 right now. but this is what i want to be, ill get there someday haha

@CyberVsWolverine

12y

now this is a fucking dj!!!

@masterJUNRY

12y

lov it

@SourMoonBlues

11y

That is true. But I think of it as a necessary sort of medium for the culture. It's never been about how the music is presented. Its meant for people to dance. Simple as that.

@nikokenton

13y

Nice quick mixing, i can't stand it when DJs just let tracks play over 4-5mins before they start to mix to another track

@brianboylan1613

11y

what was the opening track called

@pnuttt3r

11y

Yeah def killed momentum at 28sec.

@danielstaib6325

that red light at 5:50 was insane!

@shoesfx

12y

a DJ is supposed to play with his vinyl, mix songs and create a concept. DJ craze has always won the World DMC championship, in the end he just dropped it because there was no other DJ able to beat him. His skills are unique, he has a rare talent and he is not afraid to experiment more. Tiesto has never tried something new, he sticks on what he knows best and does nice mix, which i like his sounds but that is all. Tiesto is an average dj compared to DJ Craze who has won more than 15titles.

@Kalosius

11y

Thats not the drop though, hes got something else going on, its a lot crazier

@grapsta

12y

wake me up when he drops some d'n'b

@SoThisOneDude

12y

I wouldn't say Tiesto is shit though. I would see Tiesto for his original tracks and go to Craze for his mixing and turntablism.

@TheGlyn1234

11y

tracklist needed!

@frottery

11y

but that is what non-turntablists do. the extremely best case scenario you have on-the-fly remixing tools for stutters / effects (like he does here) but even that is just pressing a button to engage the effect. It's also nearly impossible to fail anymore... these dudes don't cue/mix with headphones. They do it visually without even listening to the music, with preset cuepoints. Yeah perhaps they blend a bit but... nope, easy.

@Kalosius

11y

I stop by here from time to time hoping that someone figures out that opening track. See yall soon.
