Anyone who knows the ten year history of Big Dada must also know the name of DJ A La Fu. Aberdonian Kenny Atkins spent his teen years in California before returning to London around the time that Big Dada was setting up.

In the decade that followed, Kenny became a resident at the short-lived and much missed GOSH! nights at Plastic People, as well as supported and shared a stage with the likes of Gil Scott Heron, De La Soul, Afrika Bambatta and Blackalicious.

His most recent project is the worldwide critically acclaimed Radio Skool series which features among others Maseo (De La Soul), Juice Aleem (New Flesh), Mike Ladd (!K7) and Infinite Livez (Big Dada), as well as being a top five seller on New York ’s Turntable Lab alongside DJ Shadow and Coldcut.

This special Universal Forces mix was recorded live in Moscow and features some crazy-ass Russian chick speaking god-knows what at the start. In a way though, it doesn’t matter as it’s a freekin’ awesome show which simply begs you to raise your glasses to Kenny A La Fu. DJs don’t get much better than this!
