Hope everyone is well and enjoying the warm weather, thanks to all who made it down to the last ALYK with Terry Farley, like many of you have said, a dope night and a dope DJ. As always our residents, Desi Rocca & David Hardy supplied the quality house grooves to get the party started.

 

Our next episode of Act like Ya Know, takes place May 29th @ Sawa, with a DJ who we’ve had play @ ALYK before and is one of our favourites, a real DJs DJ, playing quality deep house, techno and Detroit inspired joints. Resident @ the warehouse project, where he’s played with DJs like Francois K, Underground Resistance, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Laurent Garnier, Hot Chip, to name a few.

 

 

 

Krysko started his career as resident at The Redlight, Sankeys Soap where he played with such musical legends as Francois K, Masters at Work and Todd Terry, before moving on to play for the Tribal Gathering events. In 2006 Krysko was to become resident at the succesful warehouse project in Manchester (http://www.warehouseproject.com) playing along side such heavy hitters as Underground Resistance and Laurent Garnier to name a few. Krysko’s received props from DJs, promoters and punters the world over with his trademark jacking house sound guranteed to detonate any dancefloor.

 

With David Hardy been called up by Cappello, to join the England Squad in South Africa, we’ve asked one of Sheffield’s finest to join us for this months ALYK, promoter of the monthly Don’t Walk Boogie parties, Dan J joins the Squad this month, along with our resident supreme Desi Rocca.

 

 

Of Ukraine descent, but born & breed in Yorkshire, England. Krysko was brought up on a musical diet of funk, soul, jazz and of course house music. Mainly due to his uncles influence who was a player in the early London house/techno scene. Having been dj’ing for nearly 16 years he’s developed taste in a wide spectrum of musical styles.

 

In 2001 Krysko became resident at The Redlight, Sankeys soap and over the last 4 years he’s played alongside most of his musical heroes, including – Francois K, Masters at Work, Dj Sneak, Jeff Mills, Frankie Knuckles, Todd Terry, Deep Dish, Theo Parrish, Groove Armada, Danny Krivit & Joe Claussell, Dimitri from Paris, Jazzy Jeff and has even managed a rare short back to back set with the Chicago legend… Derrick Carter.

 

Soon after joining Sankeys as resident another one of his ambitions was fulfilled by following on in the footsteps of the original TG legendary residents; Jeff Mills, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Sasha & Gayle Sann by becoming Tribal Gathering resident for the new generation. Krysko has played both Tribal Gathering weekenders, the last included a LIVE RADIO 1 ESSENTIAL MIX and the huge Warehouse party for 10,000 people, which won many awards as event of the year in 2003 and has closed the RADIO 1 stage at the GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL in 2003 & 2004. Other RADIO 1 appearances have included regular guest slots on THE ESSENTIAL SELECTION with Pete Tong including both live mixes and interviews. Other festivals include – LOVEBOX 2006 at Victoria Park, London playing the main stage.

 

Krysko has had great props from people such as … Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay “one of the most exciting of the new crop of DJ’s I’ve heard, will be booking Krysko for Lovebox” … Erick Morillo who said in DJ Magazine “he’s my favourite DJ in the UK, he’s got great ears and he’s really talented” … and DJ Sneak who said “…he’s bad ass!!”

 

In September 2004 Sankeys Soap celebrated it’s 10th anniversary by releasing a double compilation CD mixed live by Krysko & Vickers which went on to sell nearly 5000 copies in the first 4 weeks and was awarded 10/10 & mix compilation of the month in DJ Magazine. As well as Sankeys & The Warehouse Project, Krysko has over the last 8 years played and blown apart clubs such as Stompaphunk, The End, Electric Chair, Back II Basics, The Egg, Notting Hill Carnival, café Mambo & Somny in Ibiza and clubs all over the UK.

 

Other projects include – rita and sue – as a duo playing many festivals and backrooms from soul, funk, jazz, nu soul, disco and Balearic-ness… this project has led to a current monthly residency at the legendary Back to Basics in Leeds.

 

 

 

Krysko is still resident at The Warehouse Project, Djing with some of the worlds biggest DJs, as well as taking his jacking house sound to clubs up and down the country and beyond. There’s also his productions, due to see the light of day sometime in the not so distant future.

 

Team GB, welcomes back Krysko to Act Like Ya Know, this one’s gonna be special.
