In his free workshop, Fletcher Beadon will show us how he develops live tracks, using you, the audience! Workshop details below.
Over the years Fletcher has had the privilege of playing alongside many of his music heroes: including Goldie, Massive Attack, The Freestylers, General Midi, Krafty Kuts, Seeed, and Dj Vadim, to name but a few. Famous for his exceptional live and studio work as a DJ and producer, he’s well respected by his students and fellow producers for his amazing talent in Electronic Music Production. Fletcher can turn tracks into highly rhythmic, overlapping swirls of melody and harmony in a unique and powerfully moving way. Being one of four Ableton Live Certified Trainers in South-Africa, Fletcher teaches Electronic Music Production at SAE, and previously at Cape Audio College.
Fletcher is World renowned for his work as a member of the duo, Krushed & Sorted. They own African Dope Records, an independent recording label based in Cape Town.
Some of the artists associated with this label include Felix Laband, Kalahari Surfers, Constructus / Waddy Jones / Maxnormal.tv, Real Estate Agents, Teba, Chronic Clan, Zoro, Sibot, Markus Wormstorm, JJ, Black Dillinger, Juan Thyme, Mix n Blend, Red Lion, and Blunted Stuntman.
Fletcher is one of Cape Town’s pioneering dj’s and producers. His vast range of musical styles and deep love of music have been winning him fans since he first turned to the turntables in 1995. Very few dj’s play as broad a range of genres; you’re just as likely to hear him dropping the cutting edge of dubstep, bass-heavy breaks or drum ‘n bass, as playing his gran’s collection of swing jazz, funk and calypso…
This passion for music has taken him all over the world, from outdoor parties in Zambia, to clubs in Zurich, raves in Rotterdam and the favelas of Rio. Fletcher’s love of technology ensures that he is at the cutting edge of dj’ing trends. He is sponsored by Native Instrument’s Traktor Scratch and Akai Pro’s APC40.
