Jon K, Mr Pedro, Daniel Willis all night and day on the GIANT STEPS sound system!
Picture a vast dance floor at peak time being gradually built to a frenzy—the rhythms and moods are constantly shifting, the music starts slow and weird and ends up... well, who knows where. Among the dance floors and communities that embrace the unexpected, he deserves to be described as one of the finest DJs out there. You'll see what we mean on his RA podcast, a mix that represents Kraus's apparent mission to move people with non-standard track selections. In isolation, you'd struggle to imagine how some of this music would work on a dance floor. But, as always with great DJs, context is key.
Kraus's reputation stems from his standing in the Manchester scene, where he's been honing his style for the best part of 20 years. He was a resident and cofounder at the long-running Eyes Down party, and worked at Fat City Records for a decade. If you've come across Kraus in recent years, you'll probably associate his name with the party Hoya:Hoya, where he's been a resident, and The Soup Kitchen, where he's played regularly. There's also his show, Peking Spring, on NTS in Manchester, a showcase for the deepest reaches of his tastes. Outside his hometown, you'll have also seen his name billed on some of the best lineups around the UK and further afield. His set at this year's Dekmantel Festival with Joy Orbison was one of the weekend's highlights, and it seems as though word of his skills is gradually spreading beyond the UK.
