Biography
Culprit 1 creates beat-fuelled symphonies that incorporate the elements of DJ Shadow, The Prodigy, Orbital, and The Chemical Brothers to create a new blueprint for 21st century electronica. Culp’s unusual arrangements and three-minute sampladelic symphonies have won praise across the entire musical spectrum. From Mixmag and Drowned in Sound, to BBC Radio 1 and Classic FM, his appeal is universal thanks to a songwriting nous and structural brevity honed over years of study in both conservatoires and clubs.
The Culprit’s Stateside fanbase has grown quickly following a performance at the legendary South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The Culprit 1 remix roster includes two bona-fide Top Ten smash hits, alongside a string of awesome dancefloor mash-ups. Culprit 1 has also earned the ringing endorsement of the dance community. His single ‘Tricks’ was remixed by none other than Paul Hartnoll of the legendary Orbital, one of Culp’s childhood heroes. Paul was quickly followed on remix duties by a leading light of the new breed – award-winning breakbeat producer Rogue Element.
