From the calendar
Grandmaster Roc Raida [USA- XECUTIONERS]
This one is going to be huge... after presenting Z*Trip & Supernatural in February, Eclipse Touring are back on point with one of the greatest hiphop turntablists of all time GRANDMARTER ROC RAIDA (USA). 1995 World DMC Champion, inducted into the World DMC hall of fame , member of the world famous XECUTIONERS (formerly known as the X-men) and bestowed the title of Grandmaster.... Everyone knows the name Roc Raida and with good reason.
Support will be provided by by one of Adelaides's absolute favourite turntablists KIM DEZEN (Melb) alongside some of the city's finest including Nixon (ex Style High), Shep, Madcap, Sum 1 and the winners of the inaugural Hilltop Hoods grant General Knowledge. This promises to be a night of Hiphop and turntablism that won't soon be forgotten. The event will be held at the fabulously renovated Viva Function Centre (formerly Lerox- 9A Light Square-Next to Night Train). Sound will be provided by Novatech on a system that you'll have to hear to believe.
Entry is just $20 on the door 9pm-10pm and $25 after. No pre-sales and capacity is limited so don't rock in too late
Grandmaster Roc Raida [USA- XECUTIONERS]
No stranger to our shores though it's been far too long, Roc Raida is a true performer who'll get on the decks's and the mic and provide a hiphop experience like no other.
Roc Raida's quest for supremacy culminated in the 1995 DMC Technics World Championships in London where he was crowned as the DMC World Champion. He was later christened a "Grand Master" by some of Hip Hop's founding fathers as well as being inducted into the DMC Hall of Fame at the 1999 DMC World Finals in New York.
In addition to DJing, Raida has become a successful producer - The Jungle Brothers (How Ya Want It - featuring De La Soul, which has become an underground classic), Leftfield ( "Dusted" remix which had a debut on the top five on the commercial radio charts in the UK) and Macy Gray (Still). His scratching skills have also been immortalized on wax for The Artifacts (Come on wit The Get Down), Sadat X (Lump Lump), Mad Skillz (It's Going Down), O.C..(Times Up, Set into the Ozone and Far From Yours), and Big Pun (Tres Leches).
Roc Raida is one of the founders of the X-Men DJ Crew and one of the four pillars of strength that makes up the X-Ecutioners. Self-described as “the overqualified but under-appreciated blue-collar superheroes of the new Hip-Hop,” the X-Ecutioners, from New York had phenomenal success with their second album - 'Built From Scratch". Roc Raida, together with Rob Swift and Mista Sinista and Total Eclipse, pulled out the big guns - M.O.P. bring their signature bashing style to "Let It Bang", and Joseph Hahn and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park importing crunchy guitars and rapping on "It's Goin' Down. Roc Raida also recently released a critically acclaimed 'Champion Sounds' mix album globally through DMC. Catch the master in action as he takes in several dates around Australia showcasing his jaw dropping skills that nobody should miss!
