KUTMAH - UNDERGROUND AND ABSTRACT [FROM A DJ SKETCHBOOK]





















When talking about Kutmah, it’s tempting to use an epithet such as “the best DJ you’ve never heard”, or “best kept secret”.
Justin McNulty was born in Brighton, England to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the United States when he was 12 years old and grew up in Hollywood, California. It was here where Justin became Kutmah and ultimately made a name for himself as a talented underground artist and DJ.
















Kutmah became a member of LA’s dublab collective and then in 2004 he founded the celebrated clubnight ‘Sketchbook’ which forged fundamental roots of the now-infamous LA beat scene.
As an associate of Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder collective, his mixtures from his time spent on the West Coast are legendary amongst those that know, and he’s also released several of his own original records; even though he’s predominantly a DJ, with foundations in hip-hop ('Dirty Otis') and a record collection that spans far beyond the genre ('Shake').
Now that boilerroom.tv recorded him playing live, it is unnecessary to admit for sure; Kutmah  - one of the best underground music experience!
