Huge thanks to everyone involved in Symphonica, amazing night of fantastic tunage!
In association with the wonderful Madame Electrifie and Rocstar Recordings
1 x Orchestra + 1 x World Champion DJ = SYMPHONICA
A night of club classics recreated using the skills of 4-time world DMC scratch champion Mr Switch, accompanied by a full live classical orchestra in a breath-taking rendition of dance music like you've never heard before.
Mr Switch aka Anthony Culverwell is one of the most talented & successful DJs to come out of the UK - noted worldwide for his versatility, party rocking abilities & scratch skills.
Having made his name on the DJ battle circuit, Switch's efforts led him to win the title of DMC WORLD CHAMPION in 2014, the longest standing DJ competition in the world. This is his 4th world title, following his back-to-back wins in the 'Battle For World Supremacy', 3 years in a row. Under his previous guise of DJ Switch, Anthony performed as soloist in Gabriel Prokofiev's "Concerto For Turntables" alongside the National Youth Orchestra in 2011, becoming the first DJ in history to perform on the BBC Proms, the UK's largest classical music festival. Mr Switch defines himself through his versatility - having performed across the world, he is able to take any challenge thrown at him. Whether he's dropping a hip hop skills showcase, an electro swing throwback through time, or a multi-genre mash-up, he performs with the same energy, skill & sheer enjoyment of his craft. "The DJ's DJ" |
Symphonica is a fresh new project, which fuses together two different worlds - the raw power & soul of the orchestra and the heavy bass & beats of the DJ
Over the course of an hour, expect to hear a mixture of brand new compositions - which pit string sections against scratch skills, double bass against synth bass - and some classic tracks, played as you've never heard them played before - by a whole orchestra! You couldn't just have any DJ at the head of this project, It had to be Mr Switch, 4 times DMC World DJ Champion! Having already cut his teeth alongside orchestras - as the first DJ in history to play in a classical concert at the BBC Proms - this time, alongside composer Miles Hancock, Mr Switch will employ his expert knowledge of turntablist trickery and dancefloor destroying beats to remix the orchestra live, giving a foot-friendly twist to classical sounds. The possibilities are endless!
