Kill the Noise
There’s a new ghoul haunting parties worldwide – a diamond-eyed, baseball-capped skull slapped to turntables, grinning off sweat-drenched t-shirts, and gleaming from 20-foot neon screens on stage. It’s the bony mascot of Kill The Noise, the buzzing young producer and DJ whos…e uniquely intense take on electronic dance music has kept him rocking around the globe. From packed nightclubs to sold-out festivals like HARD, Electric Daisy Carnival and Audiotistic, marking his territory every night with hypnotic, bass-heavy sets and skull stickers alike.

Amazingly, Kill The Noise has been able to leave such huge mark on his fans without a single official solo release. Yet that’s about to change in a big way with the release of his debut EP Roots, a diverse four-track collection that offers KTN a chance to show off musical influences while hinting at exciting new production frontiers. The title track is a tribal epic built on techy basslines and massive drums. “Jokes On You” is a cheeky, instantly memorable clubber featuring enormous detuned riffs and KTN’s own cut up vocals. “My World” jacks out with high-energy laser synths, while closing track “Perfect Combination” offers a infectious hook and feel-good disco vibes.

Shortee
Recognized as the most diverse and technically skilled female DJ in the world, Shortee’s 15 year career is highlighted by an unparalleled series of firsts. Shortee is the only female ever to be a ‘Power Mixer’ on Power 106FM in Los Angeles, first female to produce an instructional DJ DVD series, only female ever to produce a solo turntablist album and the first female to produce a battle record. Named “Queen of the Scratch World” by DJ Times and ranked the #1 female Turntablist/Hip Hop DJ worldwide, Shortee has been described as the “World’s Premier Female DJ” by the Grammy Foundation and her unique contribution to the art of DJing earned her a spot as the only female DJ featured in Doug Pray’s critically acclaimed movie “SCRATCH”.

There are few DJs that are truly respected globally in such a wide variety of genres like Shortee. She spins everything from House, Hip Hop, Top40, Mash Up, Funk, Soul, Rock, Drum & Bass, Breaks & Dubstep. Her fast paced mixing style, expert scratching skills and energetic stage presence has made her one of the most in demand DJs touring worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa & the Middle East.

After 16 years, Fat Beats has announced the closing of the legendary label’s two remaining retail locations in New York and Los Angeles. Fat Beats will celebrate the legacies of the stores, which are scheduled to close in early September (New York: September 4th, Los Angeles: September 18th) by throwing a series of blow-out sales and tribute parties open to the public during their last weeks. Fans can check www.FatBeats.com for updates.

Fat Beats’ longest running and most famed location is at 406 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. Since the 1994 opening of Fat Beats’ flagship retail location, hip-hop fans have traveled far and wide to visit the iconic store. With locations soon following in Los Angeles (7600 Melrose Ave.), Atlanta, Amsterdam, and Tokyo, the record stores were a place to experience hip-hop culture and its legacy, which became a global phenomenon. “The closing of Fat Beats is just like one of my friends passing away. They promoted vinyl at its highest degree for the culture of good music and that makes it more difficult to say goodbye,” says DJ Premier.I should have asked my job to pull out pre-tax dollars for Fat Beats back in the day; I used to EMPTY my pockets there on a weekly basis. The Fat Beats label and distro will live on, but the retail store is sadly no more. More on those “tribute parties” soon, but until then, long live Fat Beats!
