In a highly unusual--but absolutely welcome--pairing, dance music icon JOHN DIGWEED and electro partiers MSTRKRFT have joined forces for the first annual DIAMONDS 07 TOUR presented by MTV Urge and Puma. Throughout the entire month of March 2007, these two dance floor forces plus special guests TBD on various dates throughout will set off on a 19-date major club tour, bringing to the masses their distinct DJ styles: JOHN, with his beautiful tech-inspired sets, and MSTRKRFT, with their fresh electro punk anthems.

MSTRKRFT (pronounced ‘Master craft’) is the project of Toronto musician Jesse F. Keeler (aka JFK) and studio wizard Al-P, two music-loving dudes who’ve been itching to make people dance as hard as they’ve made them rock. Prior to joining up under the MSTRKRFT moniker, the pair’s most celebrated collaboration was Death From Above 1979’s You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine, their 2004 red-hot masterpiece that fuses the energy of rock n’ roll with the oomph of disco. The Looks, their debut artist album as MSTRKRFT on Last Gang Records, followed July 2006. They’ve also recently completed remixes for All Saints, Metric, Bloc Party, Wolfmother, The Brazilian Girls and more--and be on the lookout for the video for their new single “Street Justice” in February. A collection of their best remixes will be released in summer 2007 on Last Gang Records, and they are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to The Looks.
