S.P.E.C. Bio: 
Houston, Texas is home to many different genre's and styles of music. From Hip-Hop with legendary artists such as Paul Wall, UGK, Slim Thug and young artists such Kirko Bangs and DJ XO just to name a few. Even R&B with Beyoncé as its leader. However, there is one artist who is on the rise from the depths of all of those greatest, taking all of his life experiences and placing them into his music. That artist goes by the alias S.P.E.C or S.P.E.C.trum. He has no preference on either name you call him he states "just call me which ever name you like best, lol". 
 S.P.E.C. hails from the northside of Houston in a neighborhood called "SCENIC WOODS", "I actually grew up several blocks away from Slim Thug and his family". As a child S.P.E.C. loved to write compositions and stories expressing his imagination on paper and was a top tier student in all of his English classes. In 2003, that passion for writing stories would turn into writing actual song lyrics. "I used to write to only 3 albums which were, Nas' 'God Son', Jay-Z's 'Black Album', and Little Brother's 'The Minstrel Show' LP's. No instrumentals just wrote my own verses, hooks, bridges, etc over their beats and listen to their cadences to learn how to master the art of making a complete song". 
 After 5 years of writing development, in 2008, S.P.E.C. Graduated from Lamar High School and decided to pursue being an audio engineer at Full Sail University in Florida. Although he wanted to achieve this S.P.E.C. just didn't have the funds so instead he opted for a "less expensive" school and attended Houston Community College's audio engineering program. There he meet several engineers and producers, whom he still works with today, and started learning the arts of recording and mastered his own recordings. Fast forward 8 years later to 2016, with a lot of knowledge and mistakes he's learned from, S.P.E.C. Is finally ready to ascend in the music industry.
 S.P.E.C. Released an EP entitled "colOURS" in 2014 and is currently preparing his debut album "A Board Horizon", which is two years in the making and scheduled to be released in the spring of 2017. "It will be 10 records that myself and my producer(s) will create from scratch and be themed based with a few singles for radio. The entire LP will be shot as one cinema filmed like visual, he says" S.P.E.C. Also has a sexy banging single entitled "Body Language" Ft. Brian Angel (DAY 26) that is gaining buzz and slowly making its way to the charts. Even though S.P.E.C. has his plate full for 2016 and future years ahead, he wants to be able to share his food for thoughts a.k.a. music to the world with the intent of having a career filled with longevity!

Né en 1972 à Chicago, Stefan Mikael-Mikael White Von Rodenbach (dit Stefan Is Expensive) a commencé à faire parler de lui pour ses prestations remarquables dans	les	Western	Spaghetti	qu’il	a produits et réalisés.	Il a obtenu	des récompenses pour	ses	rôles	de Toni	Gâchette	Facile dans Tire	si	t'es	un homme (1968), Johnny Six Coup dans Un sac d’or pour deux salopards (1969) et enfin son rôle remarquable de Jimmy Sourcil dans Quand je sors mon Colt, c’est pas pour discuter mode (1970). Il a aussi été acclamé par la critique pour son interprétation émouvante de Sonny Le Clodo dans On n'est pas là pour enfiler des perles (1971). C’est cette période de sa vie qui lui a valu son surnom actuel, puisqu’il fallait payer très cher pour espérer voir Stefan accepter un rôle. Malheureusement toutes les bobines originales de ses films ont disparu dans l’incendie de ses studios en 1932. Après une brève carrière de publicitaire dans les années 80, (on le soupçonne aussi à la même époque d’avoir appartenu au KGB et à la Mafia New Yorkaise.) Stefan s’intéresse de plus en plus à la musique. Mais c’est seulement vers la seconde moitié des années 2000 qu’il commence à produire. Voulant laisser derrière lui sa carrière d’acteur, il crée ses premiers morceaux sous le pseudonyme Askine en hommage à un ami imaginaire rencontré en Europe dans les années 20. Fort influencé par la période disco et ses stars (qu’il a côtoyées dans les années 70), Stefan décide de produire de la disco house.
Plus tard, victime d’une catastrophe nucléaire lors d’un cauchemar, il décide de reprendre le surnom qui lui a valu tant de gloire lors de sa carrière d’acteur. Il est aujourd’hui membre du groupe Puzzle avec ses deux fidèles amis Jean Moustache et John Poincarré.
Il vit actuellement en France. Il serait fan de Jokari et de Stephan Eicher et détesterait les musiciens en tout genre qui écrivent leur biographie à la 3ème personne sur internet.

VDJ WEASEL controls the DJ booth the same way he controls the crowds he entertains; as in the same way he does in the military as an Air Traffic Controller. Taking the crowds to where they want to go, always controlling the tempo; never forgetting anyone along the way. Opposite of traditional DJs who are rarely taking requests, sticking to only one genre, and limited to only audio; VDJ WEASEL takes the party experience to a whole new level, by mixing in visual content also – i.e. music videos, movie trailers, custom animated drops, pictures, comedy spots, and viral internet clips – creating an experience that you will never ever forget.

HIS TIME IS HERE

The year 2013 is to be a good one for VDJ WEASEL. Finally back home, three of last year’s biggest names of Columbus JENNIFER JAY HULL, JOHNNY TAYLOR, and ASHLEY RUCKER; are already networking with him. VDJ WEASEL is the OFFICIAL DJ for 3B!Pro ENTERTAINMENT, STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE, and MONEYBOY STREET TV. He’s currently networking with home-town DJs like DJ SWIFT and DJ RON C, models such as STORM MZEXCLUSIVE THURMOND and COCA. He has featured spots with recording artist ROCKO and YOUNG SWIFT.

Georgia’s Street Choice Magazine, and MID ZINE.

A DJ with over 10 years of experience and hundreds of recorded mash ups and remixes,
VDJ WEASEL even remixes his own remixes live. He started remixing for soundcloud.com last year and produced his first compilation and mix CDs in 2005. Cedarwood Dome, Maggie’O Tooles, 54th St Bar, Chopstix, 6th Ave Bar, Last Exit, and Blush Lounge in Washington State; MVP’s in Alabama; Kuwait and Iraq MWR’s – are all hotspots where VDJ WEASEL has held residencies – specializing in building up crowds for empty venues to max capacity in very short periods of time without outside help from other promoters. Partying with VDJ WEASEL at any event he is spinning, you will see him mixing in audiovisual content throughout his set. All eyes and Cameras seem to follow his every move.

VDJ WEASEL’s live video remixing is spectacular and something that leaves people talking about the next day and weeks to follow.

GROWING UP

Born Price Bakari Walker in Birmingham, Al. VDJ WEASEL exhibited skills as a dj at
an early age. VDJ WEASEL’s first attempts were creating compilation mix cassette tapes in junior high school. A doctor’s son, he gained his jazz/classical/blues/disco/pop/holiday/rhythm & soul appreciation; and attended a private school in Columbus, Ga. named Brookstone gaining his rock/country appreciation. He then switched to a public school for the experience, gaining his rap/hip-hop/R&B appreciation. Columbus clubs like Al Who’s, that he frequented at 21 gained his electro/techno appreciation.  College in Florida, gained him his Christian/reggae appreciation.  

In the military, VDJ WEASEL landed his first DJ gig off post; and being Black-American the few patrons there did not expect him to be able to play all the different genres alternative/punk/acid/house/funk/reggaeton/hyphy that they liked to hear, fluidly at that. He practiced hours on end with digital vinyl, bringing his own sound system to events that lacked proper sound. “I can play any bar or club…and I can play dubstep for that type crowd. It’s great, because the military has expanded me to a lot more genres like go-go/neo rhythm and soul/wop/crunk/bounce/stepping/chopped&screwed,” VDJ WEASEL remembers. He has played at SPICES, ILLUSIONS, AFTER5, OXYGEN, and 1on1 Entertainment Complex; since back in Columbus. VDJ WEASEL has been doing his own remixes online, creating a google presence using youtube.com, reverbnation.com, datpiff.com, and hotnewhiphop.com.  “I remember one Halloween, I spun the whole party dressed Freddy and the next night as the killer from Scream, the crowd took pictures and enjoyed it.”

Best known for his remixes, such as 2 Chainz Ft. Kanye West – Birthday Song (over David Guetta Ft. Sia – Titanium) Local Artist Specialized remixes and Special Request remixes for followers/subscribers; VDJ WEASEL’s re-inventive remixes catch the attention of everyone. VDJ WEASEL has always invested in himself; upgrading to better and more expensive DJ equipment. After awhile, VDJ WEASEL was investing in high-end cameras; shooting his own videos and promoting venue events in his hometown. One such party was Thanksgiving Night 2012, which was attended by over 400 people, for rapper Rocko live. Soon after, he got Tasha of R&B group Xscape; live also. 

STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE’S OFFICIAL DJ

Today, VDJ WEASEL is the Official STREET CHOICE MAGAZINE DJ. In the booth, VDJ WEASEL uses two TECNICS 1210 for VINYL turntables, with a RANE 57 mixer, or a NEWMARK V7, or just a NEWMARK NS6; often incorporating videos to enhance his sets.

NOT AN AVERAGE ENTERTAINER

To this day, VDJ WEASEL brings more to the table than just being a great DJ. With the recording of his own music, bartending, photography, filmmaking, promoting, and so forth finding alternate revenue streams to make himself more marketable, never shy of doing a live performance. VDJ WEASEL thinking is a step ahead, offering memorable audio/visual shows to wow all; old or young. Making the statement, “I’m an artist, entertainer, and entrepreneur; but being a DJ and being able to move all crowds in a partying direction.. is a blessing.”

(except wind and thunder on Man Made Monster by my 15yo son)

Born in Texas. Moved a lot growing up due to Aerospace Designer dad. Lived all over the US.  Found and collected rocks, crystals, fossils, and such. Recognition in football (Linebacker), but didn't care much.  Started plunking around on a bass guitar at 15 - loved that!  Worked hard and bought pro gear at age 16-17 (Acoustic 371 and Ric 4001 bass - no help from my folks!) and started playing school dances and private parties, and soon grew to playing the better clubs across Texas by age 18. Along the way dabbling with keys whenever I could get near them (so expensive in the old days!)

Through the years I had the great fortune to play bass with many Grammy-winning and legendary players. Returned to college when I began to focus more on original music. Degrees in Drafting, and Audio Production. Studied American Karate with Grandmaster Pat Burleson, and Kodokan Judo with Grandmaster Shigeyuki "Ace" Sukigara. Worked for a few years as Oceanographic Cartographer. In spare time made special effect movies (time-lapse, pixelation, stop-action) on Super8 and 16mm film, later video, later still local TV production and direction. Worked as an independent audio engineer and producer for a few years. Worked as a computer animation programmer in the early 80s. Produced and directed indie films, music videos, and TV ads. Graphic designer. Ad agencies. Art Director. Launched graphic design biz, eventually moved focus to illustration. Returned to music composition and production in my late 40s, and been loving it ever since! 

Trying to write mostly soundtrack-oriented instrumental music that's original, unique, and with a sense of fire and emotion, with little regard for genre - just letting it flow from the heart and mind as it will.  Hit and miss, but sure is fun trying!  :)

First of all: INSTINCTIVE PLEASURE and ECLECTIC COLORS are keywords to define my style.
. Passion for music has always been there, got it from my dad. 
.Started mixing when I notice that I was only using 3 or 4 tracks on an average of 21 on a CD...ended up to be expensive tracks!!! Luckily Internet saved me! LOL.
.I love to make people discover my musical beats, as they did it previously around the "JUKEBOX". 
.Reactions from my audience is my source of energy. .As a scientist in a lab, i search, cut, mix and combine sounds to create pleasure.
THE MUSIK IS MY WIFE......

Avant tout : PLAISIRS INSTINCTIFS et COULEURS  ÉCLECTIQUES définissent mon style. 
.Cette passion pour le son a toujours été là , c'est mon père qui me l'a transmise.
.J'ai commencer à mixer quand je me suis rendus compte que sur un cd de 21 pistes, je n'en écoutais que 3 ou 4 (le track reviens cher) internet m'a sauvé, MDR.
.J'aime faire découvrir des beats musicaux, comme quand on prenait le thé et que le jukebox tournait. 
.J'attend de voir les réactions des auditeurs.
Comme un chercheur dans son labo, je fouille, trifouille et assemble par plaisir et pour faire plaisir.




Out of the depths of the underworld comes 
K-Anubizz,
the caretaker of transition, master of Chaos, a son of God, 
and as you know...
God Is A DJ
After engulfing the Netherworld for millenia in the aural waves of Tribal Chants & Exotic Grooves,
now the time has come for this entity to Rise Up From Down Below, to take over the realm of the living with the divine force of Rhythm & Melody at his disposal.
Reïncarnated in the body of a mere mortal, it was necessary 2 get himself amplified, so this energy could be set free! And this not only came out to be a matter of time… 
Coming to take care of all the Lost Souls & help those who want to transcend to a higher level of existence, to this „Natural Born (Party)-Animal” the ultimate  goal still remains:
Creating an equal balance of thrills and pleasure for every soul on earth, floating on the vibez of K-otic K-Anubizz...
And luring you in to the birthplace of the sound, of the underground…
So Come Down!

Now, more on a serious note…
After This Slightly Exagerrated Introduction, coming from a genuine Music Maniac with a lot of fantasy, It’s time 2 present myself in a more human, less fantastical Way… ^_^

What began as a playstation game 15 years ago, has infused the producing virus into my system. And ever since that flame was lit on being able to replay, create and manipulate the music I was hearing, it only started burning harder.Also, the fact of having an uncle who, still now, has 2 wedding parties or similar a week, helps explain why the faders and knobs were luring me to them to try it out! And soon the art of turntablism and the ability to mix on any given deck was mastered.
Although I didn't have any material myself, nor the money for it, I continued creating mixes with a laptop. Armed with this I had a really fullfilling, rewarding & most of all, FUN time @ JKJOS and various other gigs in and around Dilbeek for a couple of years. In the meantime the nessecary equipment was added piece by piece, and also with a little help from my friends I soon had a real „mobile disco!”
The party’s and memories were unforgettable, and till today still remain unrivaled!
Allright I’ll admit, Tomorrowland 2012 was a superlative on its own, but you should check out some older mixtapes of mine if you’re curious.  
Let the music speaks for itself! ^_-

In more recent years, I haven’t done much big summerfestivals, mainly cuz it’s so frickin’ expensive, and also because my energy was gettin’ applied to the creation of music itself! These last years I’ve added some game-changing material to my musical equipment, Also the knowledge to compose, produce and master a song only grew and grew. And The Passion for the music only got more intense. Maybe that also explains why you cannot place all my musical creations in a specific genre, and 2 me personally it’s kinda fun. Trying out something new or completely different makes you discover more , lets you think better or in an other way, and maybe lets you produce the sound you wanna create, but by following a totally different and unique path. To me, the music has always been my guide and best friend.
In the music we are all brothers and we stand united!
Anyone can agree that there are songs that can get you completely mad! 
And I consider myself a real musical mental case! ^_^
I’ve got to get my fix every day!
This lets me show great deal of respect & gratitude to all humanity for all those „gifts” I’ve been given...
That’s the true philosophy behind K-Anubizz 
To try And Redeem Myself For What I have Been Given.
And Try To Create The Same Experience For Someone Else
Spreading This Energy and Euphoria With Everybody!
And Never Stop! Except when it will kill me…
But I’ll Have Lived A Very Rich Life, Indeed!
I’m Pretty serious when I say that music = life!
It can give that little spark, 
that can light up an entire nation!
Love The Music, Love Your Life!

Party On People!!!

STEEL - Straight To Every Ear Listening.

Harlem is no longer synonymous with the historical textbook definition of a cultural renaissance-like community. It is historically one of the most iconic and famous inner cities in the western world. The streets were gritty in the eighties and nineties. Crime, drugs and broken homes were a way of life and especially prevalent in the late 1980s and 1990s. Traditions and values were far from the norm, the inhabitants, ruthless.

B STEELS is a product of this ruthless town.

Bobby started his hustle at a tender age. His father was locked down for most of his childhood and as an only child he was aware of the struggle his mother endured and watched helplessly as she fell prey to drugs. Thankfully today, she's been clean for 17 years.

As B STEELS looked out for his mom who was a functional addict, he kept his eyes pierced on the streets. The glimmer of expensive cars, flashy clothes, fresh kicks and zero cares bedazzled him and it wasn’t long before he fell in love with the street life and the niceties it offered. As the money came easy, survival became harder and soon Bobby found himself doing time at Spofford Correctional Facility and Harlem Valley at just 14 years old.

Released after serving 3 years, his fresh start quickly turned into a continuation. But this time around, he had a profound interest in music; throughout his childhood, he remembers his mother playing old school music and always loved the emotion and reaction it evoked in its listeners. These listeners now became the locals who took a liking to his rhythmic skills. With musical influences such as Big L, Jay Z, Biggie, JadaKiss and 2Pac, B STEELS decided to give rap a shot.

While in the midst of making wrong decisions, B STEELS put his energy into making hits. As a result of his talent and hard work, he inked an artist development deal, which allowed him to fly to California to work with one of hip-hop’s most renowned producers, Swizz Beatz. He also worked with the likes of Vinny Idol, DJ Love Dinero and other local producers. Though the deal didn’t pan out due to some unethical activities on behalf of the label, B STEELS returned to Harlem to make his living. His son who is almost 10 years old now was born shortly after.
With a mouth to feed and his family on his shoulder, B. STEELS turned back to hustling. Once again, the street life caught up with him and the inevitable happened. He found himself serving 7 years in medium-maximum correctional facilities, i.e. Riker’s Island, 5 Points, Auburn, Comstock, Franklin, Marcy box for a second stint. He actually lived the story most rappers rhyme about. While serving the 7 year bid in the upstate correctional facilities, B STEELS learned of the death of one of his favorite rappers, Big L and that of his father, (whose lifestyle he was closely emulating) in February and March 1999 respectively.

Through the many disappointments and failed attempts of "making it" as a rapper, B STEELS became bitter toward music and the promises and became hopeless. Toward the end of his sentence and upon a preference transfer to Arthur Kill facility, in Staten Island, B STEELS became anxious as this was the closest he had been to home in years. However, shortly thereafter, the Arthur Kill facility closed and he was forced to return back upstate, 8 hours away to Franklin Correctional Facility. Here the visits were few and far between, the weather was cold and depressing as was his spirit, but not for long. During the intake process, he met up with Nino, a former inmate and a close friend that he knew.

Nino introduced B STEELS to Jah who not only became his mentor and "big brother", but Supreme Legacy Entertainment’s own CEO. Having gone through so many disappointments and shattered dreams and promises B STEELS was apprehensive and skeptical; but upon meeting Jah he felt a connection, sincerity and loyalty, which he’d never experienced before. The vibe was right this time. Jah who was released soon after, promised B STEELS that he would be taken care of and left him with everything that he had including his word, a very rare commodity while one is “locked down”. Upon his release, some of the Supreme Legacy Entertainment team members, Emmanuel, Richard, Chris and Jonathan fulfilled Jah’s promise and met him at the gates of Downstate Correctional Facility.

Knowing of his talent through word of mouth and presently working fulltime with him, this team is granting him a third chance. “They came and built things up. They helped me build in a time where I felt like f*** everything and f*** the world,” he said. As a two-time felon, B. STEELS, who refers to his team as a blessing, is now making music his official hustle, using his passion to break the cycle that has plagued his family for generations, as the motivation for success. "Many rappers rhyme because they like to or it's fun for them, I do this because I have to, it's personal. This has been my dream for years and I have felonies attached to my name, it’s difficult to get a job and I have no other opportunities. Jah and Supreme Legacy Entertainment has stared my career to this point and have kept their word; I have confidence this time, I am grateful to God and Jah for the loyalty and brotherhood of Supreme Legacy Entertainment”.

Already living a lifetime of experiences, B STEELS plans to bring authenticity back to the game. Robert Robinson aka B STEELS, his legacy starts now.

DJ Sexual Chocolate grew up in Oakland, CA in an awkward period that saw the end of Soul Beat television, the rise and fall of the hyphy movement, gentrification, and social unrest.  To no surprise, his music was borne out of those periods of unpredictability and more. 

“Do we have the Blackstreet?”  He asked his mother three times before the vehicle even began to move.  We were 10 at the time, before any of us discovered music; most of us only knew what our parents listened to.  Unfortunately for his mother, the field trip for which she volunteered to drive was a multi-hour excursion, and her son’s set list consisted of playing each song twice. That’s how I met him, a 5th grader with an unusual obsession with Blackstreets sophomore album, Another Level, on cassette. That and music binging car rides became a theme. 

Some time later, I realized his obsession wasn’t over Blackstreet, it was over music.  We had discovered our own taste in music by then.  Most of our class listened to hip hop.  However it was the height of the alternative rock and Nu Metal, and I ate it all up, unapologetically.   CDs were still incredibly expensive at the time, but I spent all my money on BMG music buy 3 get 12 free promotions.  We would take turns listening to new music passing a personal player back and forth (although, I’m convinced he owes me a few plays still).  All those alternative rock influences in his current music?  That came from us.  

 After graduating junior high school, I didn’t hear from him much.  We kept in touch, but I had no idea what he was doing for the better part of 8 years.  The next thing I know he’s DJ Sexual Chocolate.  If I knew he continued studying music after  being classically trained as a teen,  maybe I would have never stopped playing the piano.  Nevertheless, he emerged as a seasoned musician.  What came later was a whirlwind of listening sessions and arguments over the validity of conspiracy theories (another story).  People may wonder how music with roots in 90s R&B, the regrettable Nu-Metal movement, the high school band, and whatever he was doing during the absent period  sounds.  Trust the process, it sounds pretty good.

The Cordials were formed the morning after a drunkin late night ebay purchase of what turned out to be a "Very Expensive Mandolin". They had to make good on that purchase, so father and son Antoin and Felim Doherty began to write the songs that shape the band today. Antoin didn't even play guitar as he was a professional Irish Funeral Bagpiper but they managed to write enough original material  and started to play in the pubs and clubs of London. The Cordials play a mix of Country, Rockabilly and Folk Blues and they are about to release their new Album called Sweet Martha in Sept 2016. Their first Album Mr Mitty in 2010 was done on the cheap so expectations are high for Sweet Martha as it cost a hell of a lot more than the Mandolin. There music is based on honest storytelling with simple melodies like the Smell of Summer or Tweed Trousers sodden wet from a Winters Gale.
The Cordials are  London UK Based and the engine of this band is a merry mix of United Nations with Theo Ziarkis from Greece on Double Bass, Andrea Lianni on Drums from Italy, Benoit Veillifon on Lead Guitar from France and our fantastic guests Zoe Devlin on Vocals (Alabama3) and the legend Vin Gordon on Tromebone (Bob Marley, Aswad) and finally Dick Smith on Banjo (Cole Porters)
