Learn Teeko…

T E E K O
After receiving recognition and championship awards in worldwide DJ competitions (including DMC, ITF and Guitar Center Championships), he toured from coast to coast and collaborated with some of jazz’s finest musicians: members of the Charlie Hunter Quartet and John Scofield Trio. Following an energetic performance in a San Francisco jazz club, audience member and legendary saxophonist Ravi Coltrane requested an encore performance. Teeko’s performances are frequently met with such requests as his style is often described as truly original and refreshing, receiving high respects from the best in Hip-Hop, Jazz and everything in between. Teeko exhibits his mastery of turntable production in his debut album, “My SoundStation,” (2006) which exposes his eclectic musical style and creativity as a composer. The widely anticipated album ranked number one on several of the College Music Journal’s Top 10 lists for months after its release in fall 2006. He was recognized soon after the album’s debut for his
excellence in production with the Milestones Innovative Producer’s Award given by the world-renowned Berklee School of Music in Boston. He has most recently displayed his innovation and creativity as a collaborator on the development of the new Vestax turntable, the Controller One—the first turntable engineered to be a musical instrument.

“Teeko is the funkiest most soulful turntabilist I have ever seen… From the cuts to the records he chooses… I had the opportunity to hang & DJ with him in the Bay Area…It was definitely my pleasure.” - DJ Jazzy Jeff

“He’s one of a few people that’s doing what I envisioned what the next step in turntable music would be. A true musician on the turntables as
well as being a dope DJ. YouTube him and see what I’m talking about.”  - DJ Shortkut

Not much needs to be said about this one. You all know who they are, you all know what they do & you all know how crucial it is for you to be here (if you in the hood that is). Hit the Facebook Invite for more info if you need it. Other than that, it all goes down tonight in the beautiful Pagoda venue @ 9pm in Downtown San Jose, CA. See you there!

Shouts out to Ungrammar, New Sense & Jason Dooley for always making sure tight schitt pops off in ‘TheZae’.

FREE THE ROBOTS (SANTA ANA | ALPHAPUP | THE CROSBY | OBEY)

http://freetherobots.tumblr.com

http://myspace.com/freetherobots

Initially started as a side project by Chris Alfaro in 2003, FREE THE ROBOTS has quickly garnered a worldwide audience. Combining dusty swap-meet samples, futuristic synthesizers and live instrumentation, Free The Robots has created a unique harmony of past sounds and future ruminations. Much like his L.A. contemporaries Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing, Free The Robots knows no genre boundaries.

Ctrl Alt Delete, which also features Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta, has been a long time coming. Originally signed to Alpha Pup over two years ago, Free The Robots has put his heart and soul into this album. Meticulously constructed, the album is a culmination of countless late nights at Low End Theory Club, combined with a spirit of fearless experimentation. The result rattles with grit and swagger — a firm proclamation of Free The Robot’s sonic arrival.

THEOPHILUS LONDON (BROOKLYN)

http://theophiluslondon.wordpress.com/

http://myspace.com/theophiluslondon

THEOPHILUS LONDON is an emcee, songwriter, and producer from Brooklyn.  Fader magazine places him at the center of the borough’s new urban pop movement, while UK music weekly NME goes in a bit further: “…his patter is sumptuous, his look untouchable, his soundscapes plucked from mythical ghetto neverlands…he’s the real deal.”  His first mixtape, JAM! , was a buzzy DIY effort that tipped off early adopters in the underground, but it was the independent release of  This Charming Mixtape via his brand The Lovers in early 2009 that introduced London’s voracious pop appetite and minted him as an artist to watch beyond mere hype. It’s possible this is the arrival of a once-in-a-generation talent: Theophilus London is very much in this moment but not of it. This year we look forward to his new Mixtape, I Want You, as well as an album with the talented supergroup Chauffeur, consisting of Mark Ronson, The Menahan Street Band and Dap King members, Thomas Brenneck and Victor Axelrod.

SQUARE ONE (The Bangerz, San Jose)

Consisting of 1/6 of the almighty Fingerbangerz crew hailing out of San Jose, California. Square One holds more than his weight in a crew filled with superstars. An ill producer, and super technician of the turntable, Square One will perform his staple sound that he adds to the Fingerbangerz Sound. DJ Cutso, another Fingerbangerz member describes his influence on the crew,”And Squareweezy’s a showman; he’s bad and is 100 percent attitude, or as we call it, ‘bad-itude’ [laughs].”

LOW LIMIT of LAZER SWORD (WIRE BLOCK | LA | NYC)
http://www.myspace.com/lazersword
http://www.sfweekly.com/2009-10-14/music/music-awards-lazer-sword/

LAZER SWORD is the duo of San Francisco based LOW LIMIT and LANDO KAL. They like to make music that sounds like your favorite top 40 rap shit chopped up into a tornado filled with razor blades and molasses. Or maybe like Frank Zappa rocking the home made Lil John tank-top at the rooftop party. Whatever the case, their music is dope.

NOSAJ THING (ALPHA PUP | LOS ANGELES)
http://nosajthing.com
http://myspace.com/nosajthing
http://www.last.fm/music/Nosaj+Thing

Last year, Flying Lotus was the cream of the crop, but this year belongs to Nosaj Thing, and the comparison between the scenes isn’t lost on the young artist. Nosaj Thing (Jason Chung) is a genius sound innovator and his electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener’s mind as deeply as he hits their soul. He’s been featured as an artist-to-watch in magazines like Fader, XLR8R, The New Yorker, and Nylon, and as one of Urb Magazine’s Next 1000 artists. He’s remixed Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Elliot Lipp, and Health, won Turntable Lab/Plastic Little’s remix contest featuring MF Doom, and won L.A.’s prestigious Project Blowed beat battle. He has shared the stage with the likes of DJ AM (R.I.P.), Architecture in Helsinki, DJ Krush, Gaslamp Killer, Steve Aoki, Them Jeans, Z-Trip, Flying Lotus, Free the Robots, Diplo, The Glitch Mob, and Daedelus. He has received regular airplay on BBC Radio One and Los Angeles’ KCRW, and is a staple and a crowd pleaser at L.A.’s underground hip-hop good time, Low End Theory. Comparisons run along with Flying Lotus, Ratatat, DJ Shadow, and Aphex Twin

21+ | 10PM – 2AM | $10 before 11PM|
