in a world where every party, rave,
club & festival has a DJ, its not unusual to think, ‘..is this as
good as it gets? what is the future??’ DVJs!! The worlds of Music
and Video incorporated together. And whom is going to play this
new form of? The Urban Knights are the DVJ’s Benny Kane & KVL.
Hailing from the musical hotbed that
is Bristol, and currently touring and performing in the UK, Europe
and Worldwide, they are more than just mere DJs The Knights pride
themselves on originality and adding theatricality to performance
weather it be a small bijou bar or to a 3000 person capacity club
or festival. Signature to their video performance is the incorporation
of costumes and masks. From film characters and capes and masks
to full on Star Wars Bounty hunters, they know how to make a stage
impact. They tailor their sets to suit performances so you never
see the same show twice. Benny Kane of the UK team says ‘Video is
the most powerful universal advertising medium on the planet’ ‘We
like to cut all types of video for a performance, from live performances
of Hendrix,
The Beatles & the Stones all the way to current dance floor dub-plates.’

KVL,
‘I like to drop and scratch video acapellas all over electro and
breaks,
it adds the right flavours to get everyone involved on the dancefloor
from your hardcore purists
to your average raver. Video has allowed us to play all types of
music in a set that previously would
never have been possible from Breaks n Electro to HipHop & Drum
n Bass’ |
Benny Kane,
‘ We don’t pigeon hole ourselves to a single genre or style,
we like to rock a crowd, and leave them wanting more...’ |
