New website of DVJ Kriel launched

Keeping it Kriel. Dr Charles Kriel (aka DVJ Kriel) was born to an American circus family, and spent his childhood traveling North America in make-up and big shoes.

Kriel is now an artist, producer and DVJ based in London. He is also the United Nations World Summit Awards National Expert in New Media. His first book, How to DVJ - a Digital DJ Masterclass, is published by MIM Press. It is the first book to address digital DJ and VJ technologies.
In 2000, Kriel was appointed Artist-in-Residence at BBC Radio 1, collaborating with Pete Tong to create the world’s first weekly VJ stream for the web. He went on to pioneer the first live nationally telecast DVJ mix for BBC Three / BBCi as part of Glastonbury 2004, the same year he became the first Pioneer ProDVJ. The NME named him the world’s leading VJ; he has featured in DJ Mag’s Top 20, and was recently billed "the world’s first superstar VJ" by The Times. As a DVJ, he cut his teeth on the UK’s major dance festivals, and these days you’ll find him driving dirty dancefloors from Detroit to Ibiza to St. Petersburg.As a visual artist, Kriel has exhibited globally. His work has included installations and performances at the Venice Biennale, Tate Britain, the Royal Festival Hall and at gallery of Tomato Design (that’s the band Underworld).Visit the site.
