Mr. Invisible had the pleasure of kicking it with Cut Chemist while he was in town for a show with Red Bull. We were trying to figure out a place to do the interview and had the great idea of going to the Wax Museum.
We asked questions about gear, diggin, touring and collaborating with DJ Shadow. Obviously, we did more than just interview him! We had to get a little diggin’ in mix (it is a record store)…
Check out the pictures on Flickr and the video on YouTube or scroll down and watch right here!! WORD.
Marley competed in the Exposure #26: MMA DJ Battle in Asheville. It was held at Scandals on July 29th and had a healthy turn out. Marley went up against several DJs and was… Victorious!
It wasn’t your normal DMC style battle. It was a 10 minutes mix routine. Pretty sweet. I grabbed the rules for the battle off the facebook event page and put them below. Seems like a fresh set up.
This was third installment of the battle series. Apparently, they’re doing more and then putting the winners against each other in a big tournament of champions. Marley will obviously be representing there. We’ll keep you posted when it’s going down so you come out and support.
If ya see him, congratulate him! We’re stoked.
Rules for the Battle:
* The 10 minute mixoff is a free for all, you can play whatever you want. Whoever rocks the crowd the best while showcasing the most skill on the decks is who we are looking for to win
* The event will be judged by a 4-5 judge panel (NO CROWD JUDGING!) which will be compiled of some big name DJs from across NC. They will be judging via a points system which will be broken down into several categories and then tallying that for an overall score to determine the winner of each competition.
* The competition setup will be: 2 Technics 1200s + 1 Rane TTM-56 mixer (and serato attached for the mixoff of course)
A progressive hip-hop trio consisting of Justin Aswell, Ill-Use and Asheville’s DJ Marley Carroll, who together demonstrate flow that’s simultaneously easy and relaxed, quick and nimble over innovative jazz-inflected tracks
Justin is an extremely capable percussionist that is amazing already on a standard drum kit, but prefers to rock shit on his samplers in order to make the sort of beats that could leave your neck broken…
Is it possible to give old school Hip Hop a new flava?? I guess so!! You might already be in the know…but if you are not . . . Introducing Mr. Invisible . . .
Daddy Kev along with J*DaVeY and Mr. Invisible will do special demonstrations and performances on Native Instruments Maschine 1.5 as part of NI’s Maschine Workshop Tour USA . . .
