BIO

If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering “What is a ‘Surecut Kids’ and how can it improve my life?” Well, the answer is simple really. Gather round and let us school you on the topic…

The group is made up of two long-time friends: Boozy B (the dangerous, leather jacket-wearing rogue), and Mikey Likey (the overly-enthusiastic, embarrassingly friendly, sleep-addict). Together they have been pushing the boundaries of how much time two people can stand to be near each other. Also, they rock a party like their lives depended on it.

If you find yourself at a Surecut Kids show, you’ll probably see them in one of two different modes. The first is a normal club show, where they play a dj set on two turntables and an MPC. Taking turns between mixing, scratching, drumming on the MPC and hyping the crowd on the mic.

The second is their full setup: Four decks, two mixers, and an MPC. These shows are planned and rehearsed sets that involve quick mixing, turntable tricks and MPC routines.

Whatever setup you see them in, you’ll definitely notice the enthusiasm the duo puts into their performances. Jumping around like crazy, sweating all over the equipment, and generally having the time of their lives. The guys hold the belief that if they aren’t going crazy, then the audience can’t be expected to.

Never wanting to be pigeonholed as a particular genre, the Surecut Kids have focused on being musically diverse. The styles you can expect to hear include Club, Dubstep, Indie, Baltimore, Baile, Hip Hop, Booty, Funk, and all sorts of other genres. All mixed in a way that even the shortest of attention-spans can appreciate.

Their on-stage antics have seen them travel to Kuala Lumpur, Papua New Guinnea, Bali, Sydney, Melbourne, and all around South-east Queensland to turn parties upside-down.

They are no strangers to festivals either, having performed at The Big Day Out, Good Vibrations, Parklife, Summafieldayze, Future Music Festival, BBQ Breaks, The Pro Show, Round & Round, ‘That’ Festival, and Chalkfest.

They have shared the bill (and the rider) with many of their favourite artists including Diplo, A-Trak, Dj Craze, Z-Trip, Salt N Pepa, Busta Rhymes, Major Lazer, Naughty By Nature, Gossip, Dizzee Rascall, MIA, XXXChange, 2Many Djs, Fake Blood, Pase Rock, Justice, Ugly Duckling, Lyrics Born, Dj Yoda, Russell from The Bloc Party, Chemical Brothers, Busy P, Vanilla Ice and too many others to list here.

The pair also run a blog (surecutkids.com) which they use to release their bootlegs, re-edits and ever-popular mixtapes and to keep fans up to date on their forthcoming shows.

This year has started with a bang for the guys. Performing to a packed Boiler Room at the Big Day Out, releasing their first official remix (‘Marketts’ by Psyde Projects – out on Groove Penguin Records), taking bookings to appear all over Australia, their mixtape receiving national airplay on Triple J’s ‘Mix-Up’ programme… Its been a whirlwind already and with a bunch of remixes, collabs, and an EP on the way, the future is looking very ‘yes please’ for Surecut Kids.
