It was at BPM on Saturday 7th October that Kramnik made his first performance in the UK. He was asked to play the event, which also billed the likes of James Zabiela and MYNC Project, in the Panda Hire Silent Arena.

What a fantastic concept. Pick up a pair of headphones on your way into the silent arena, and chose the channel via a switch on your headphones of the DJ’s set you want to listen to.

Kramnik’s showcase of his newest mix, The K Song drew in the crowds, all stood by nodding heads and tapping their feet in approval.

We’ve just returned from BPM at the NEC in Birmingham – the biggest event in Europe dedicated to DJs, and so far we’ve only heard positive things about it.

The level of musical hardware in attendance was noticeably first class. Brands including Pioneer, Allen & Heath, Bose, and Poker client M-Audio were all there showcasing their latest products.

David Atkinson from M-audio sees BPM as a great tool for M-Audio:

If we want hands on, one-to-one time with DJs and producers there’s no better a place than the BPM at the NEC. It means we can demo products, talk to our customers and find out what they need.”

With an event entirely dedicated to the DJ, it was only right that a few DJs were thrown into the mix to demonstrate their skills. At one side of the arena you had James Zabiela giving the CDJ 2000s a serious work out, and at the other – the Silent Arena – hot Poker client Kramnik showcasing his new album mix, The K Song.

From a DJs point of view, Kramnik commented:

“BPM is one of the best opportunities to take a good temperature on the industry, and get a feel for what’s coming next. A definite must for anyone with BPMs in their blood…”

So positive feedback all round. Great work BPM. We look forward to attending next year.

We’re as excited as kids in a sweetshop as we’ve snapped up the fantastic DJ Kramnik to our roster.

This up ‘n’ coming DJ has got the UK music press all in a quiver over his 90 minute feature length, album mixes he creates with more passion and dedication than the DJ scene has witnessed in a long time. Kramnik spends literally hours every day researching new music for his immaculately crafted mixes.

From progressive to techno and electro, and everything else in between, his mixes tell an emotive musical story, and so much so that DJ Mag made his first mix ‘The Zen Zong’ a Top Pick in their June issue; iDJ flagged him up as ‘one to watch’, and Total Kiss FM exclusively aired the mix in their ‘Main Room Mix Session’ slot.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, he’s created a brand new 90 minute mix called ‘The K Song’ which you can download for free on his website www.kramnik.dj Please sign his guest book and let us know what you think. He’ll be playing an excerpt from this mix, live at the BPM event in Birmingham this Saturday 3rd October.
