The acclaimed Swedish DJ Crussen brings a distinctive blend of high energy, playful folk and electronic to his musical events and MO SOUND-BITES’ final edition of the year. The evening will open with acclaimed master of music DJ Tony Montana. Born in the southern Swedish town of Ystad, Crussen was fascinated with music from a young age, playing the French horn in an orchestra and drumming in a hard-core punk band. Keen to channel his creativity through drawing, dance or music he says much of his inspiration as a drummer came from the skateboarding scene and Swedish punk bands. At high school he discovered making music on a computer was an even faster way to create, and never looked back. In 2005 Crussen moved to Oslo, Norway, to study sound design, and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Popular Music and Record Production from Southampton University, United Kingdom, followed by a Master’s degree in the same field at London’s Kingston University. Today, Crussen’s boundary-pushing avant-electronic exploration features on labels such as Clubstar, The Magic Movement, Underyourskin Records, Musicpark Records, Coyote Cuts and many more. His inspiration, he says, comes from chancing upon a peculiar rhythm, sound or sample, and the process he follows differs according to his mood. Don’t be fooled by the folksy look though – he’s a formidable force behind the decks. Following his exclusive Hong Kong appearance at MO SOUND-BITES, Crussen will appear at Wonderfruit, one of the world’s most acclaimed annual arts and music festivals. The event in Thailand, from 13-16 December, debuted in 2014, and is the biggest, most exciting – and carbon-neutral, sustainable - music festival in Asia. MO SOUND-BITES presents Crussen on 8 December 2018. This exciting evening event will be supported by DJ Tony Montana. Doors open at 9pm.
