[ClaireFu]

Aberdeen's high court of turntablism is represented tonight as the man behind some of the biggest hip-hop and funk shows the town has ever seen brings you his modern interpretation of 'salmon' dance music. Now don't get us wrong he doesn't technically play house music these days but there's a background of 4/4 (well maybe 8/4) with tracks from the Euro crunk mashers as well as the hip-hop-routed B-More world of Diplo, Spank Rock and M.I.A plus the techier angle of Modeselektor and Paul Woolford - and not forgetting FU's own edits, remixes and tweaks for the occasion!! Get down with the kids Y'ALL!!

More on A LA FU. He's toured, supported and shared the stage with the likes of Gil Scott Heron, De La Soul, Afrika Bambatta and Blackalicious; appeared on TV with DJ Kool Herc, illustrating the art of DJing for MTV alongside Roots Manuva and competed against the Scratch Perverts at the first ever DMC Team Finals. His production work is stellar, working closely with Big Dada and Ninja Tune record labels and remixing work for Coldcut and Saul Williams. A LA FU’s most recent project has seen him creating a lovingly-crafted, utterly blazing two hour mix of the Big Dada label’s output in celebration of their 10th year in the business.
