PREMIERE ARTISTS GROUP PRESENTS
Rob Swift "War Games Tour"
Available for Europe
October 7th through 22nd, 2005
& November 25th through December 8th, 2005
Hailed by Spin Magazine as one of the Top Turntablists in the World - next only to DJ Q-Bert and Mix Master Mike - Spin describes Rob Swift as “the most self-consciously musical of his peers, meticulously arranging his scratches and stuttering beats.” Moreover, his successful solo career is only accentuated by his previous membership in the legendary DJ/music group the X-ecutioners, which has garnered him recognition and tours throughout the world.
Rolling Stone nominated Rob Swift’s group the X-ecutioners as one of the top 50 Players in Hip-Hop alongside the likes of Jay-Z, Master P and Lauryn Hill. Known as one of the best turntablists on the planet, Swift has elevated the art of DJ’ing with unbelievable displays of technical skill and acrobatics, making the Technic 1200 the musical instrument of the future. He has broken ground for DJs and turntablists worldwide in one of the most influential turntable bands in the world, recorded full length LPs for major labels (Loud, Columbia), worked with multi-platinum bands like Linkin Park, made appearances on MTV, The David Letterman Show, and Last Call w/Carson Daly. Rob has also recorded 2 solo albums, the "Ablist" and "Sound Event", and has collaborated with such notable artists as Herbie Hancock and Bob James.
Rob's latest effort, "War Games” is his 3rd solo venture. In 2005/2006, he will be touring North America, Australia, Asia and Europe in support of it. With his newly found creative freedom since leaving the X-ecutioners, his aim is to make a social statement and unleash a totally new concept in turntable music. Wargames is chock-full of vicious turntablism, MCs & hot beats; one of the first albums of its kind to provide social commentary from the point-of-view of the DJ and features special guests Large Professor, DJ Melo D (Beat Junkies), DJ Quest,Bob James, Breez Evahflowin’, Ricci Rucker, Toadstyle, A. Saffery, Dave McMurray, Akinyele and Prints Haze to name a few... This tour is not to be missed!

Danny the Wildchild @ Liquid Lounge
| 22 July 2005 | Danny the Wildchild @ Liquid Lounge (Public Event) |
|
|  | Top Down Productions proudly presents....
An intimate night with the WILD ONE!!!
DANNY THE WILDCHILD
Jungle/Drum-n-Bass/Turntablist
(Q101 FM/Strictly Hype/Surge Recordings, Chicago)
Danny the Wildchild
aka Daniel Garcia was born on the South side of Chicago in 1977. The
brother of a once aspiring DJ, he keenly watched and quickly learned
the tricks of the trade. Danny began djing at age nine soon surpassing
his brother's abilities and eventually inherited his equipment and
records. At twelve, Danny entered a Chicago area contest for young DJ's
and won. He took home that fifty-dollar prize and was called "The
Wildchild" from that day forward. Although Danny's roots were as a
Hip-Hop DJ, he was eventually introduced into the Chicago Rave scene
and to the world of drum-n-bass. He enjoyed this new form of music, but
also loved hip-hop and began to creatively blend the two genres
creating a unique sound of his own. As Danny's turntable talents grew,
he began to incorporate scratching and DMC style battle tricks into his
Drum-n-Bass sets. His precise mixing skills and unique style and sound
gave him the opportunity to bring Drum-n-Bass into the DMC and Hip-Hop
scenes. Danny's recognition has earned him a collection of praises from
domestic and international magazines such as Mixer, Thousand Words,
Faqt, and Lotus to name just a few. Danny was also featured as one of
the people making waves in the scene in Urb's Next 100 Artists to Watch
Issue. Today Danny has become one of the most valued U.S. Drum-n-Bass
DJ's. His unique blends of jungle and Hip-Hop beats and amazing
scratching and beat juggling have proved to be show stopping. His
talents have brought him to perform in venues worldwide and opening up
for such acts as Eminem, Method Man, The Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, Moby, Goldie, MixMaster Mike and The Pharcyde. Danny also toured extensively throughout Europe with DJ Q-bert
in 2002 (see djqbert.com). Although most weekends he is on the road, he
still has time to host the 12midnight slot on Chicago's Alternative
Radio station Q101FM and is gotten back in the studio. You don't want
to miss a minute of this awesome set!

DJ Shortkut "Kuts Foundation Tour"
Premiere Artists
Group is now accepting offers for
DJ Shortkut "Kuts
Foundation Tour"
Europe Dates: August 22nd
through September 2nd, 2005
DJing since '87, Jonathan
Cruz, known internationally as Shortkut, has thrilled all DJ, turntablist and
hip-hop audiences worldwide. As a member of the world
renowned Beat Junkies, Triple Threat and the now defunct Invisibl Skratch
Piklz crews, he is known for his unbelievable beat juggling and
percussion techniques and routines. Shortkut has claimed numerous titles
including the 1994 and 1998 West Coast DMC Champion and the 1996 Zulu Nation
International Champion. He was also featured in national and international
publications including Rolling Stone, Details, Spin, and VIBE.
Shortkut's talent has taken him
to almost every continent and has allowed him to visit Australia, Denmark,
Japan, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. Now, he comes
to Europe to tour in support of his latest project -- a follow-up to his well
received "Kuts Foundation" CD. "Kuts Foundation 2" is an all skratch song
mix CD produced in Japan and set for worldwide release in September 2005. In the
same way the X-Ecutioners had documented their history of turntablism on
Scratchology, Shortkut has put together his own personal anthology of hip hop
and scratch anthems.

Chibuku Shake Shake's re-launch September 2005 onwards!

LIVERPOOL'S
Chibuku Shake Shake returns after the summer hiatus - well, if you can
call barnstorming barn parties, electric Masque collaborations with
Circus, select parties around the country and of course the best tent
at Creamfields a hiatus, the best underground night in the country
returns with arguably the best shit booked in yet. Retaining
the eclectic vibes that have made the night famous, Chibuku still
straddles the wild horses of nocturnal deviance that make it the
rough-edged jewel in the clubbing crown of the North West and far
beyond, daring to put together lineups that would otherwise fail were
it not for the dedication of the promoters and continued resurgency the
city is enjoying with a clued-up crowd wanting to have their ears
challenged. Adding to the heinous
acts coming shortly to Liverpool the Barfly (the Masque name is now
totally redundant) itself has had a refurbishment, including much
improved air conditioning and even more sound pumped into the Theatre,
Loft and Bar, three iconic rooms that have helped shape the underground
house-techno-breaks-drum and bass-hiphop-funk-soul-live-soul resistance. Exciting doesn't really do it justice. And add to that a Chibuku and Circus party at Nation on November 12th... Coming up just for starters are: Jazzy
Jeff & Mad Skillz, London Elektricity (live) + guests, Soulwax
present Niteversions feat: 2manydjs, Soulwax live, Vitalic (live),
Justice/Erol Alkan, DJ Marky & Mc Dynamite, Felix Da Housecat, Jeru
the Damaja (Live), Dave Clarke, Alan Simms, Optical & Ed Rush, Evil
9, Jamie Lidell (live)... Plus the exciting brace of residents making names for themselves including: The Beat Monkeys, Leo Belchetz, Loz, Dom Chung, Wandy, Phil Charnock and Luke Carr... |
