The year was 1984. The MC was "master of ceremonies,"
and DJ was the undisputed champion of sound… A show
was a SHOW, and FRESH was the word that defined the
experience. Now 808 Media and Kleome bring you "Fresh
Is The Word," with dope live shows, classic b-boy
anthems and a return to good times, at the Bay Area's
newest and freshest venue, Poleng Lounge.
ABOUT DJ APOLLO
World Famous DJ Apollo began DJing in 1983. An
original turntable innovator, DJ Apollo invented the
art of band turntablism in 1989 with Mix Master Mike,
during their legendary "Peter Piper" routine. He was
DMC U.S. and World champions in 1992, and received a
Bay Guardian Goldie Award in 1993. DJ Apollo is an
original co-founding member of the Invisbl Skratch
Piklz, and was DJ for jazz legend Branford Marsalis'
Hip Hip Hop/Jazz fusion band, Buckshot LeFonque. Since
then Apollo has established Triple Threat DJs with
Shortkut and Vinroc. The three are among the most
revered DJs in the world. With three world titles and
over 45 years of live DJ experience between them,
Triple Threat perpetrates an eclectic mix of genres
with cutting edge turntable trickery, inciting instant
dance floor madness. www.thetriplethreatdjs.com
ABOUT KIRB AND CHRIS
Rapitalism Records is issuing an advisory alert.
Discretion is a thing of the past. With the release of
the uncompromising "Niggaz and White Girlz,"
labelmates Kirby Dominant and Chris Sinister render
their thugged-out interpretation of '80s and new wave
music featuring DJ Icewater. Kirb and Chris turn
tracks from groups like The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche
Mode, B-52s, U2, and Gary Numan into a non-stop
soundtrack for New Wave Thuggin! www.kirbandchris.com.
