DJ Tu-Ki

Hennessy Hip Hop House
Sunday 18 June
7:00–8:00pm
Tu-Ki is one of Ireland’s most diverse and decorated djs. He grew up in Dublin immersed in the sound of U.S hip-hop and inevitably the records that formed that sound. After a friend loaned him a set of old turntables for a Summer, it wasn’t long before Tu-Ki was playing at some of Dublin’s best underground clubs and coming in second on his first attempt at the Irish DMC championships.
From there he travelled to spend time in San Francisco, the pinnacle point of scratching/mixing and record digging.
Here he learned and developed his style that led to multiple national dj competition wins and him being the only ever Irish champion to compete and excel at numerous DMC and ITF world finals.
Since his competing days he has become one of Ireland’s most creative club and festival dj’s, as comfortable playing spaced out Summer 7’s in the parks of Berlin to ripping up and closing out the dance tent on day three.
This cacophony of sounds and styles is best seen and heard throughout his varied collection of mixtapes, videos, edits and shows.
