SAN FRAN are absolutely creaming themselves at the thought of one of THE GREATEST HIP HOP artists performing at our legendary venue. This could be the gig of the year…
Turntablist extraordinaire Cut Chemist brings his envelope-pushing live show to Wellington for his cut ‘n’ scratch audio-visual blowout; “Sound of the Police”.

This is Cut Chemist at the peak of his powers, a master craftsman, creating some of the wildest buffalo slabs of music you have ever heard right in front of your eyes using turntables, a mixer, a loop pedal and all original vinyl pressings. Accompanying Cut Chemist is long-time visual collaborator, Tom Fitzgerald, the virtual founding father of LA’s Cinefamily and king of disintegrating digital video deconstructions; a guy who is able to manipulate, warp and destroy clips in ways that are hilarious, groovy, musical and psychedelicized like no other.
The music chosen for this mix goes quite a bit deeper into the crate than his other contributions. Driven by his passion for Ethiopian, Colombian, Sudanese and Afro-Brazilian sounds respectively, this mix also features a few classic tunes you might recognize.
