DJ Theory
DJ Theory (Jake Krauth) is all about moving forward…
Born and raised in the hills of Western MA, he’s been making music since he was in his huggies. Specializing in reggae/dancehall, club/dance music, hip hop/turntablism and many notes in between, DJ Theory has been making some serious moves in ‘09 and shows no sign of slowing down… Theory’s original production, remixes & mixtapes have turned heads on a global level, and his live DJ sets showcase a raw & natural talent that is undeniable in any setting. Within a year of moving to San Francisco from New England, Theory has played at many major venues and events in the Bay Area, and secured a position as the Official Scratch DJ for the SF 49ERS, performing live at every home game.
In addition to his solo works, Theory is a founder and active member in the MA-based hip hop collective “The Problemaddicts”, whose last album was charted in the top 10 on CMJ . Through his work with The Problemaddicts he’s performed, toured, produced, scratched, mixed and collaborated with artists like Masta’ Ace, Planet Asia, Tash of Tha Alkaholiks, Ed OG, El Da Sensei, Akrobatik, Jahdan, and more. He’s also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many of his influences, just a few of which have included KRS-One, Sizzla, Mos Def, N.E.R.D, Brazilian Girls, Ghostface, Dead Prez, Soulive, Antibalas, Sean Price & Bootcamp, Little Brother, GZA, and many more.
With everyone and their grandma bluffing as DJ’s these days, it’s essential to have aces like Theory out there holdin it down every day for the people. “Ever Forward, Never Backward” for 2010 and beyond…
