Many Styles
(Fat Beats Records)
Triple Threat elevates not
just the standard, but very definition of DJing.
Many Styles, Triple
Threat's first full-length release, is named after the legendary
nightclub where Shortkut, Vinroc and Apollo first met. On a deeper
level, Many Styles describes the vision and versatility of Triple
Threat - not content with being pigeonholed as turntablists, club
DJs, selectors, or producers, Triple Threat is about embracing
"many styles" and making great music. Hip-hop, dance hall,
instrumentals, and mind-bogglingly artful turntablism blend into a
cohesive sound that comes from their collective experience and
backgrounds as DJs, and - more importantly - as musicians.
Triple Threat's mission is
simple: master all elements of the hip-hop DJ - from battling, party
rocking, to scratching/beat juggling. In more ways than one, the
Triple Threat DJs and their debut album are upping the ante for all
DJs and album producers to come.
As a veteran San
Francisco-based DJ crew, Triple Threat comes highly qualified,
combining three world turntablist competition titles and many years
of experience. Leaders of the Triple Threat movement, Apollo,
Shortkut (both of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz), and Vinroc use
remarkable technical skill and beat diggin' to create memorable
routines. Triple Threat serves up a lethal dose of turntablist magic
and good ol' party rockin', stirring up the dance floor and restoring
the foundation of hip-hop.
Many Styles features
guest appearances by:
Talib Kweli, Mystic,
Rob Swift & Roc Raida of the X-ecutioners,
Souls of Mischief, Main
Flow, Goapele, Nimm and Zion I.
