Crizzly W/ Schoolboy & AFK

 
***jumanji ent. presents*** **2 stages of madness** mainstage: crizzly anytime he hits the stage, crizzly has no choice but to go hard. channeling hyperactive energy and uncontainable swagger, the san antonio dj and producer ignites crowds with an intoxicating, infectious, and inimitable blend of dubstep and hip-hop, which he affectionately terms, "crunkstep". however, there's a lot more to the 21-year-old artist. music became a part of chris lee "crizzly" marshall's life at a very young age. as… Show more he recalls, he discovered it as a child—insisting on making his kindergarten class listen to the space jam soundtrack during naptime—but he didn't formally embrace it until high school. picking up a set of turntables, he scored his first gigs at birthday parties. at 19-years-old, production began to inspire him, and he started remixing rap songs from youtube with a distinctive flare. he released his own takes on waka flocka flame's "hard in da paint" and "snap back swag" from aj hernz, and suddenly he set the blogosphere ablaze. numerous web sites began reposting these cuts, and crizzly developed a fervent following. however, some guerilla tactics helped garner even more high profile attention for the fledgling dj. after playing 2011's electric daisy carnival las vegas, he took 20 usb drives with his music and distributed them to some of the festivals top names. "i made it a mission to pass them out to my favorite producers," he remembers with a smile. "i was nervous, but i gave it to diplo. he listened, and now he plays 'hard in da paint' in his set." meanwhile, he slipped "snap back swag" into a playlist on skrillex's tour bus, catching the megastar's ear in the process. as a result, skrillex added the remix into his set as well. soon after, even more support came in addition to skrillex and diplo with excision, datsik, and many others introducing his remixes into their shows. he describes his sound and style best though. "it's definitely a mixture of two different worlds, dance music and hip-hop," he goes on. "people can connect because there's a lot going on, and there's more than one dimension. the audience responds immediately too. since there's a half- time feel, the blend just makes sense. it feels right to me." http://soundcloud.com/ crizzly http://twitter.com/crizzly   http://www.facebook.com/ iamcrizzly http://www.youtube.com/ user/iamcrizzly schoolboy https://soundcloud.com/ schoolboyofficial https://www.facebook.com/ schoolboyofficial https://twitter.com/ schoolboy afk https://soundcloud.com/ afkdubstep https://www.facebook.com/ afkdubstep https://twitter.com/ afkdubstep more acts tba!!!
