Daz-I-Kue

By Tamara Palmer

Published on March 27, 2008

The Dirty South has a fascinating new musical addition, with Londoner Daz-I-Kue now dividing his time between the UK and Atlanta. This should open up a world of possibilities for a fellow already known across the pond for creating complex yet insanely grooving records. They soar past other so-called black futurists and well beyond the limiting genre tag of broken beat. He's even done the impossible: restructuring Sister Sledge's hackneyed old "We Are Family" into a deeply soul-stirring jam that anyone would be proud to play at their wedding.

Clubland has its share of shady characters, but Daz (a key component of the famed Bugz in the Attic crew) has long had a solid reputation for more than his music-making and mixing duties. He is also known as a responsible, organized, and trustworthy promoter of parties, returning once again to Miami to present a local version of Co-Op, his long-running London club night. Miss his appearances and risk hearing about them later.
