Since his early schoolings in the arts of DJing, A La Fu’s skillful endeavors soon saw him leave his hometown of Aberdeen to showcase his work in numerous places throughout Europe, Australia, the U.S. and Middle East, settling for a while in London after having performed at London’s Fabric where he was asked to join the Big Dada label in the role of tour and resident DJ.
A La Fu then became resident at Big Dada’s hugely missed GOSH! night at Plastic People as well as touring and performing globally with Roots Manuva, Mike Ladd and almost all other artists on the roster. He has recorded for both Big Dada and Ninja Tune with remix work for Coldcut, Saul Williams and Juice Aleem, recorded the Well Deep series, and also produces the labels official podcast. Amongst his more prestigious accolades, A La Fu was nominated for, and won, a new music award in 2008 from the BBC, has appeared several times on MTV and other networks, notably alongside DJ Kool Herc illustrating the art of DJ’ing, performed for Radio 1’s ‘In New DJ’s We Trust’ and more recently on the Mary Anne Hobbs’ Xfm show. After competing against the Scratch Perverts at the first ever DMC Team Finals, A La Fu then performed at Glastonbury at the request of the Perverts. In the last ten years, A La Fu has held various residencies around the world his favourite includes Glasgow’s world famous Sub Club. Spending more time in the recording studio on solo work of late A La Fu has released his debut ‘Themes’, a box set containing three 7” records including a collection of artwork; the release illustrates his diversified palette and forward thinking, intuitive composition. More recently A La Fu has drawn on his vast and varied experience as a DJ to produce the meticulously crafted project ‘DJ Memoirs – Choose Your Own Adventure’, a double CD and accompanying book.  |
