King Britt launched his career as a DJ in 1992 as part of the Grammy-award-winning Digable Planets, the quartet that changed the face of modern hip hop. Two years later, the Philadelphia native founded the Sylk130 collective, an ensemble of outstanding local performers including Ursula Rucker, Alma Horton and Alison Crockette. The group collaborated to create a tribute to Philadelphia of the 1970s and, in 1996, released the full-length LP When the Funk Hits the Fan.
Britt’s eclectic music portfolio includes deep house, hip-hop, broken beat, nu-jazz, funk and afro-tech. His Re-Members Only (Six Degrees)" was released in 2001 and pays homage to dance music from the 80's.
As a remix producer, Britt has worked with artists ranging from Macy Gray and Tori Amos to Yoko Ono and Femi Kuti. His recent remix of breakthrough artist Josh One's Contemplation (5.1 Entertainment) was nominated for the Dancestar Remix of the Year award. Currently, he is curating an LP of original material for Japanese label Handcut Records, and continues to deliver performances as a house, hip-hop, funk and even 80's DJ.
