DJ ShortKutz (Neil D)and Craig Latta make up the Def-Innit Breaks DJ's, who spin breaks encompassing all aspects from funky to nu-skool and heavyweight breakbeat. This duo has been responsible for propping up the breaks scene in the deep south of New Zealand for over 5 years. Meeting at university they individually delved into D'n'B, however they developed a mutual intrigue with the slower tempo and diverse nature of breakbeat on its arrival,early in 2001. The Def-innit Breaks DJ's have travelled up & down NZ performing in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown. They have also held down residencies at Toast Bar, Refuel cafe and bar and Bath St nightclub in Dunedin since 2001 while hosting the sole breaks radio show on Radio One 91Fm (Dunedin), Satudays 9-11pm. The boys have also supported NZ's finest Trip-Hop, Breaks and Drum 'n' Bass exponents along with touring internationals such as The Rogue Element(UK), Madox(ITA) Freq Nasty(UK/NZ),Superstyledeluxe(UK) Bent Coppa(UK), DJ Babu & Rakaa (Dilated Peoples, USA) and London Electricity(UK) while the major highlights were performing at the Busta Rhymes(USA) afterparty and TV2 National Anthem. At present each has taken up their respective roles at either ends of, the land of the long white cloud. Craig has currently migrated to Auckland to run the FloorPlay parties at Fu Bar & DJ ShortKutz is still pluggin away weekly in Dunedin.
