Kormac's Big Band

Presenting… Kormac’s Big Band: a group of orchestral proportions. Taking the sampling process in reverse this is a group where the pieces of the puzzle are there right on stage. Taking Hip Hop sensibilities and turning them on their head. It’s a mix of a barbershop quartet, turntablism, samplers, joined by drums, double bass, trombone, clarinet, trumpet and banjo.
The band is the multi-member extensions of the solo work of Dublin’s DJ Kormac, having been described by Radio 1’s Annie Mac as “the most bizarre set-up I’ve ever seen – but it really works”. The 11-piece’s live shows really rock the joint, providing a lively, vivid incarnation for their leader’s tunes. All with the musical ringmaster Kormac calling the shots in a world were scratching meets old time harmonies and banjo.
