As we announced earlier this year one collective of artists aiming to shake things up on the stage and dancefloor are the ‘DJs Are Alive’. The group, formed by The Scumfrog and featuring dance music heavyweights D:Fuse, Static Revenger, DJ Skribble, and Kristine W the group will launch their live routine in a special event at the Canal Room next Thursday February 16. Speaking about the project The Scumfrog sees this mash up of artists as an exciting challenge:“It has been a long time since I’ve been this excited about a musical project. With remixing getting less challenging by the day, and underground dance music still losing ground in clubs throughout the US, I was looking for a new challenge and found it with DJs ARE ALIVE.”
The group will play “mash up” versions of classic club tracks and their own material with the aid of 2 complete onstage DJ rigs, drums, percussion, guitar, keyboards, sax, FX, and an iconic female vocalist (who also plays an impressive array of musical instruments). You can watch Kristine W’s first ever DJs Are Alive rehearsal here.
With the creativity and expertise on display this collective have the makings to tear the roof off. Tickets to the gig will be hard to get, but if you can get your hands on one we recommend seeing the first ever live performance from DJs Are Live.
