DJ Cruze

about

Who is he? DJ Cruze is better known as Marc Littlemore and was born in a small town called Frodsham in Cheshire, England. He now resides in Didsbury, Manchester. Humble beginnings His love of electronic music started at an early age when he was introduced to the Streetsounds “Electro” compilations in the mid 80s. His introduction to electro and hip-hop forged his love for both funky and electronic music. Listening to Radio 1’s Jeff Young, the predecessor to Pete Tong, on Friday evenings encouraged him to create push-button cassette mixes and started his vinyl buying habit. Trying to embrace the early hip-hop culture he realised that his rapping skills were terrible and his graffiti equally as bad so he turned to the only thing left to do; DJ. On a belt-driven pair of Soundlab turntables and a Radioshack mixer he started to learn to mix and scratch. Surprisingly he became quite good and his mix-tapes got passed around the schoolyard. Manchester is in the house A move to Manchester to study Computer Science at the university gave Marc a new found freedom to party. Manchester’s thriving club scene allowed him to spend all of his money on vinyl and parties. He DJ’ed at various student bars and clubs in the city and these parties helped him to learn his crowd-pleasing skills. In 1992 a chance meeting of mutual friends introduced Marc to his long-term DJ’ing partner Mark Wyss aka DJ Vuish. As Vuish was studying in Mannheim it proved the perfect opportunity for DJ Cruze mix-tapes
