Str8fwd

Born in France in 1981, Str8fwd got first immersed in hip-hop culture and rap music right in the middle of the 90’s. He quickly became fond of scratch and turntablism after listening to artists such as Cut Killer and Q Bert. In 1999, he decided to buy his first turntable, and, little by little, managed to get his own complete setup. He started to learn scratch techniques on his own, before practicing mixing rap music.
His first contact with drum and bass music occurred in 2001, in Paard op Hol, The Hague. At that time, he was staying temporary in the Netherlands as an exchange student. He got immediately hooked on and spent some more time around the drum and bass scene before returning to France to finish his studies. At that point, (in 2002), he decided to go back to the Netherlands to keep on studying, mixing hip hop and get a deep insight of the Dutch drum and bass scene. In 2004, he began to buy drum and bass records and to practice new mixing techniques.
Str8fwd’s experience on stage got started few years ago: his first gig took place in December 2005, in a small venue called Select, in The Hague. After this event, he tried to develop his own style of mixing, notably by bringing a “scratchy” touch to his tech-step & deep, rolling sets, thus reminding the public of his hip-hop background.
Str8fwd recently moved to Singapore and joined Junglizta, a drum n'bass label from Indonesia, formed by DMZ a.k.a dKronix and Cosmiek a.k.a. Raiteki as a medium to launch their vision and mission to spread the love of drum n'bass culture to the wider world, they also aim to always presents the hardest and baddest dnb performances around..
