Diggity Das EFX @ Jazz Cafe, London
Look like the Hit Squad have realized how much Euros are worth. Following on from the EPMD show, now its DAS EFX turn.
the blurb
SUNDAY 9TH OCTOBER
TICKETS £15 IN ADVANCE
DOORS FROM 7:00PM
“Debut jazz cafe show for legendary 90’s hip-hop group”
Das EFX is an American hip hop duo. It consists of emcees SKOOB & KRAZY DRAYZY, They rose to popularity in the early 1990s due to their affiliation with EPMD's Hit Squad. The duo gained critical and commercial fame with the release of their landmark debut album, Dead Serious, which highlighted their unusual rapping style which they nicknamed "sewage". Dead Serious went platinum and its lead single, "They Want EFX," reached the top ten on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, the Top 40 on the Billboard.
As their career progressed, however, Das EFX's once-distinctive and unique lyrical delivery became more commonplace as other artists, including a young Jay-Z, imitated it. Derailed by the popularity of their own style, the duo slowed down their fast-paced flow, eliminated the iggedy suffix and downplayed their cartoonish content on their second album, Straight Up Sewaside.
The rest is history...

After the jump the blurb
Very few DJ crews have managed to have such an impact on every aspect of their trade as the “World Famous” Beat Junkies”.
Having cut their teeth as battle crew winning every title imaginable they have gone on to individually record albums (with J-Rocc’s debut due to drop on Stones Throw in March), produce for some of the most incredible MCs around, be part of live acts, most notably Babu as part of Dilated Peoples, Rhettmatic as part of The Visionaries and J-Rocc as the live DJ for Hip-Hop luminaries such as J-Dilla & Madlib, release incredible mixtapes and record brilliant radio shows.
Tonight however it is as a live turntablist club rocking outfit they come to us as J-Rocc, DJ Babu and DJ Rhettmatic show their excellence on 6 turntables while the incredible Rakaa Iriscience controls the mic.
Having toured in every country in the world with a set of decks they are as skilled in bringing dance-floors to a sweaty euphoria as they are any other aspect of their game so once again you are guaranteed The Doctor’s Orders and the legendary Jazz Café have pulled off another coup in having the worlds most respected DJ crew come to convert London onto the addictive Beat Junkies sound tonight.

Great show! Spin doctor puts together great shows. The Beat Junkies did not disappoint with great turntablism and showmanship and performance from RAKAA IRISCIENCE (DILATED PEOPLES). 6 turntables some funk, old school hip-hop, sample moments, J-Dilla tributes and turntables tricks. This show had it all.
