Band Biography

Established in 2006, Noble Savage is a Chicago-based hip hop crew that’s evolved from a love for beats, and a desire to see Hip Hop resurrect itself. NS came to be when Clever One and Dooley Noted met through mutual friends on the North Side of Chicago, after which they cooked up some tracks and played with a few other musicians.  As a 7- piece band, the Noble Savage crew played large loft parties throughout Chicago in 2006. Eventually, due to scheduling and creative differences, Noble Savage tailored down to 2 MCs and 1 DJ in early 2007, and refocused themselves by getting back to their roots, musically. The nucleus looked to DJ Smut (Dooley Noted’s older brother) to back them up for their gigs, and it fit perfectly. Smut had been active for years in the local DJ/hip hop scene and his presence, as well as love for Hip Hop solidified the project. The crate-digger mentality was applied to the alchemy of making beats, and NS started to develop a dynamic style. Samples from wide-ranging genres served as the scenery for raps devised by Clever One and Dooley Noted, who honed their ability producing at the same time. The result was a combination, sees the band on solid ground today. NS’ beats are grimy and gritty, and their live show an alphabetic assault that feels balanced and calculated, with Clever One and Dooley Noted complimenting each others’ styles perfectly. The relatively recent addition of friend and accomplice, Wild Seed in 2009, has added a texture and versatility to their sound and furthers NS’ mission. As a unit, they pay homage to the classics while breathing new life into the art. Their all poets and life-long students, rap historians and beat connoisseurs. When rappers act, their craft suffers, and that’s exactly why Noble Savage wears their heart on their sleeve. These 3 MC’s and their DJ are an example of real hip hop made by real people. No characters or inflated ego’s, just pensive rhymes with tracks that make you nod your head.

Born in North Charleston, South Carolina-Chucktown South Catalack. Raised in the urban warzone of the Geechie region-the "Macon" Rah honed the skills of a modern day Billy the Kid. Growing up in destructive environment and neglectful household and group homes induced trauma that left Rah to be arrested and institutionalized the majority of his teen years. After catching a gun charge, Rah was kicked out of his foster home and was sent to a group home. Once in a group home, Rah began writing poems such as haikus to ease his pain but after seeing some of his friends went from selling to rapping, Rah put down the trap and started rapping. Rah accredits his rap style to Chicago and Midwest rappers (Do or Die, Twista, and Bone Thug N Harmony)even though his raspy, brass and double time rhymes sometimes mirror rappers in the South.

Born to Cuban immigrants on the northwest side of Chicago, Ace Mac is said to be one of the last few rappers left that still tells a story worth listening to. When he was ten years old, he was scouted by a voice coach that was attending an event at his grammar school. The coach trained him to sing classical music in competition. Ace eventually went on to compete at a city, then state level. But, like most other young Latinos in his neighborhood at the age of 14 he became a part of one of Chicago's most notorious gangs. Juggling taking voice lessons downtown at Chicago's fine arts building, and selling drugs on various street corners in Logan Square and Humboldt Park, Ace never fully dove into either side of his personality. Instead he figured out a way to cater to both. This gave him the ability to capture the attention of people from all walks of life. His first project, a mixtape hosted by Violator All Star Dj V Dub, Heavy Hitter Dj Farris, and Hip-hop mogul Fat Joe is still considered one if the best mixtapes in Chicago underground history. Rather than just paint a picture of street life, he draws from personal experience a certain poetic outlook on the world around him. His ability to compress 32 bars into a 16 bar format without sacrificing the listeners right to hear every word, has earned him the respect of many hip-hop juggernauts. In addition to hosting his first mixtape "All Aces Vol.1" in 2007, Fat Joe of terror squad gave him a spot on his smash hit record "make it rain /the re-mix." The song featured such greats as, Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross, R. Kelly, and Birdman. Ace Mac has definitely shown his ability to hold his own next to the best in the game. Including Busta Rhymes, as proven on the record "I'll Kill" produced by Cool and Dre of TS, and featuring Dre on the hook. So far, Ace Mac has yet to disappoint his fans. Anyone who hears his music finds themselves asking the same question... "Why isn't this kid signed?"

SHERI VARI

Reclusiva e enigmática, Mariana Cruz já teve algumas encarnações artísticas desde que começou a ser reconhecida como uma das mais talentosas dj's de Portugal em 2003, um raro caso de uma jovem vitoriosa num meio misógeno, infecto de uma presença masculina quase absoluta. Para conquistar o seu lugar valeu-se apenas do seu singular talento e sensibilidade musical, tomou para si o esmero de dominar um processo técnico difícil, utilizando a mais avançada tecnologia, embora cruzando-a com ferramentas clássicas e icónicas (como discos de vinil e os lendários Technics).
Depois de anos de experiência como residente em inúmeros espaços, e convidada frequente de tantos outros pelo país fora, depois ainda de ter pesquisado e explorado inúmeras vertentes musicais sob diferentes pseudónimos, surge agora a síntese de toda esta experiência: 
Sheri...
Vari...
Um novo capítulo, numa longa história, que começa com um revigorado foco no que é essencial. Um centrar de atenção em tudo aquilo o que foi marco na história da música de dança, e um esforço fundamental no que é a previsão dos seus caminhos futuros. SHERI VARI é uma dj que gere as pistas de dança de forma holística e total, passado, presente e futuro, do ténue, ao líquido até ao profundamente físico. SHERI VARI é um contínuo que traça o legado afro-latino americano com raízes em Detroit, Chicago e Nova Iorque, e o seu cruzamento com as correntes electrónicas europeias da década de 70 e 80, na Bélgica, Itália, Alemanhã e Reino Unido... é o que partilham boogie people, ravers, b-boys, jazz heads, house heads, disco hustlers, rappers, gays, e todos os restantes nichos culturais onde a dança é importante - é a verdade subjacente.
