After his rousing DJ set and MC performance in December, Degs totally blew us away and we can’t wait to welcome him back, this time at Kiff, Aarau!
Andrew Davies, better known as Degs, grew up listening to soul, R&B, Hip-Hop and Rock before discovering the world of Drum & Bass as a teenager and instantly falling in love with the beats.
After learning to play various instruments, he turned to singing and began rapping over drum and bass.
In 2011, he became resident MC at the Frequency Drum and Bass Sessions in Brighton.
Degs has also made a name for himself as a DJ, and his hospital podcasts are a real highlight.
We are delighted that he will be back on the decks with us!
Of course, our locals are not to be missed:
Hellchild, Lieglize, Chemical Soul and Agent C.
See you there!

Organizer
JUR Records was founded in 1991 by the then 16-year-old Semtex and is still his passion today. Semtex sees another parallel to Goldie’s Metalheadz label in addition to the founding date: the family aspect is especially important to him. It’s not just about shared musical interests, but also about friendship. Over the years, the crew has grown, with new faces joining or leaving. To date, around 80 DJs have been or are members of JUR. JUR Records is not only a label and promoter, but also a platform for young, talented DJs to present their music. Many DJs who now have their own labels made their first appearance at JUR. Today, JUR Records can look back on over 1000 organized parties, various open airs, Love Mobiles at the Street Parade and other events.
Venue
KIFF
From Futterfabrik to cantonal cultural lighthouse
KIFF – “Kultur in der Futterfabrik” is an interim use of the former Futterfabrik in Aarau that has now been running for over 30 years.
In 1991, official operations began in the studios and an event room. A lot has happened since then: KIFF now hosts rock, pop, hip hop, indie, world and metal concerts as well as parties, comedy and literary events in three event rooms (hall, foyer and Fabrikpalast) and operates a bar (Silo) as a separate room and fumoir. A studio tower with 12 studios and the Fabrikpalast are also part of KIFF.
The IG Kultur in der Futterfabrik association is supported by a voluntary board; a team of 17 permanent employees and two interns organize the day-to-day operations at the Futterfabrik. Almost 150 volunteers, known as activists, from Aarau and the region support the operation behind and in front of the scenes in their free time.
Since 2011, KIFF has been a cultural beacon in Aargau and receives a great deal of political and financial support from the canton of Aargau and the city of Aarau. Today, it is impossible to imagine the city of Aarau and the canton of Aargau without KIFF. Now, with the new KIFF 2.0 building project, KIFF is venturing into the next step and another quarter of a century of culture in the Futterfabrik.
