Norman Crates started off as a harmless crate of 12” LP’s lugged around NYC from club to club. One October evening many many moons ago, a lightning storm lit up and flooded all of Manhattan. Norman was at his weekly residency at Pyramid Club in the Lower East Side feeding the DJ records. All of a sudden a lightning bolt blew through the roof electrocuting everyone in the club and sending 1.21 jigowatts through everything.
At that exact moment Norman became more than an old crate of records, he became ALIVE — and ever since he’s been making some of the “k’illest” beats in the game.
Who is Norman Crates? Norman Crates is the LVCRFT alter ego of Peter Wade, the GRAMMY-winning producer and writer behind Mark Ronson’s “Bang Bang Bang” and Flume’s “Like Water,” with credits for Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue and Marc Anthony. He co-founded LVCRFT. Norman Crates also makes spooky lo-fi beats as NightWorks, his lo-fi side project under the Spooky Never Sleeps label, made for studying, gaming and late nights.
