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!

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!

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

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...

Challenge the Norm
Classic orchestration fused with the urban styling of a modern turntablist forces music to break its traditional barriers and innovate modern sound. The result: a resonating, progressive piece of music, Concerto for Turntable, to be performed by the Red Bull Artsehcro.
Here is the opportunity for you, the collegiate classical musician with a desire to break the norm, to take part in a true first. Join the Red Bull Artsehcro and perform with DJ Radar at the world premier of Raul Yanez’s Concerto for Turntable at New York's Carnegie Hall on October 2, 2005.

The Breakfastaz::::::::::::::::::::

For Exclusive North American Tour Dates August 18th through September 5, 2005

'…there's no hotter act right now in the Breakbeat scene and considering how good everyone's become lately, that really is saying something.' - DJ Mag, April '04

'…The Breakfastaz fire the warning shots of this mobs arrival into the breakbeat
premier league…' – Knowledge, August '04
'The future of UK dance music is safe if the hands of these 3 West London
boys!' – Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM, Jan '05
'With pinpoint dance-floor targeting and rough 'n' tough production, The Breakfastaz
have quickly become breakbeat hot property…' – Knowledge, July '04

'Although it's been a good year for breaks generally, there's been little in the way
of shit-hot new talent coming through. There has, however, been one new name on
the breaks circuit that will forever be connected with 2004; The Breakfastaz.'
– IDJ, December '04

Direct from London, Froe, Gav and Merf make up the nu-skool breaks collective known as The Breakfastaz. They have been working together on a number of musical projects for several years and the wide ranging influences they collectively bring have helped to form their unique breakbeat sound. Their hard work hasn't gone unrecognized, they have been featured on the front cover of IDJ's 'Players Of The Year 2004' December edition and recently winning "Best Breakthrough Act" at the Breakspoll World Breakbeat Awards 2005, as well as a nomination for Best Producers.

With over 17 successful releases and remixes on respected breaks labels such as Passenger and Mob in little over 12 months, their offerings have received support and heavy rotation from scene stalwarts such as Plump DJs, The Freestylers, Tayo, Ali B, Meat Katie, Aquasky, Krafty Kuts and even catching the ear of Seb Fontaine, highlighting the enormous impact they've had on the scene in such a short period of time. To back up their releases, the guys have been DJing worldwide and were also invited to do guest shows and interviews on BBC Radio 1 (Annie Nightingale), Xfm (Eddie Temple-Morris) and Kiss 100 (Tayo), accompanying their weekly shows on Pyrotechnic Radio (Fridays 3-5PM GMT - www.pyrotechnicradio.com) and on Breaks FM (Saturdays 6-8pmPM GMT - www.breaksfm.com).

Along with being a musician and a filmmaker, he is also an author, playwright, journalist, and has even been a trader at the NY Stock Exchange. Van Peebles' actor/director son Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City) recently payed homage to him in the film Baadasssss!

Madlib is best recognized for his work with underground fave MF Doom on the critically acclaimed Madvillainy and his recent production work with De La Soul. A member of the legendary West Coast collective The Likwit Crew (The Alkaholiks, King Tee DJ Babu, etc), Lib even has a remix album of jazz classics on the world renowned Blue Note label.
