OK Party! & Next Level presents "F***ING RAD" a bi-monthly Electro Dance Party! OK Party! & Next Level presents "F***ING RAD" FRIDAY MAY 23RD with (Electro-Funk-Disco-House Room) TREASURE FINGERS Fools Gold | IHEARTCOMIX | Contagious Musiq - ATLANTA (www.treasurefingers.com | www.myspace.com/treasurefingers ) With over 10 years of international DJing experience killing dancefloors from Russia to Australia and everywhere in between, Ashley Jones aka Treasure Fingers is no stranger to rocking parties. A well-versed producer and an accomplished musician, Treasure Fingers has his lustrous hand in multiple genres. He is also part of the drum and bass trio, Evol Intent, who are widely considered the #1 U.S. producers in their respective genre. While most would rest easy on the success of one genre, TF does not sleep. Operating out of his home base of Atlanta, he produces music endlessly in between touring, dabbling in hip hop, idm, downtempo, and more.
The talented Mr. Fingers major break in to the electro scene came by way of his catchy remix of Snowdens Anti Anti for Jade Tree Records. The success of this remix led to remixes for other artists including one for Romanthony, the writer and vocalist behind Daft Punks mega-hit One More Time. All the while he has continued to produce banging original tunes such as Cross the Dancefloor, which caught the ear of A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, landing him a spot on the Fool's Gold Records roster.
Coming from an incredibly varied musical background, ranging from dirty south hip hop to electronic experimental music (and everything in between), his broad tastes reflect in his tracks. The clean production style, laced with unique funky basslines and quirky synths, makes for lively, yet intricate melodies. His tunes widely appeal to fans of the grittiest electro, to ones of the more disco infused dancerock breed. Packing enough diversity to satisfy just about anyone, it doesnt matter if the word grill makes you think of barbeques or shiny mouths, Treasure Fingers will make you shake that ass.
KILL THE NOISE killnoisekill.com - NEW YORK (www.killnoisekill.com | www.myspace.com/killnoisekill) In a time when the internet and dancefloors around the world are saturated with all types of artists and performers, it's difficult for emerging names to carve out their own niche in the scene and have their sound heard by the masses. However, the dynamic production force known as Kill The Noise has done just that in the small amount of time since their introduction to the electro/house scene just before the turn of the new year.
Upon further inspection, the origin of this unique and refined sound is apparent. The project emerges from the same studio of NY-based avant garde drum & bass front runner Ewun, as well as the brand new, highly regarded mash-up/IDM project Ludachrist. The minds behind these projects are no strangers to the electronic music scene, having already traveled the globe in various other successful musical endeavors.
Tight production, creative, original, and innovative ideas begin to describe the sound Kill The Noise is known for. While some compositions growl with angry, distorted synth lines and glitchy sample edits, others lean towards the more playful, funkier side with addictive melodic hooks and lyrics, complimenting additional productions of the more techno-inspired realm of pumping side-chained beats and infectious rhythms.
This sound has resonated throughout the blogosphere and indie/ electronic dance communities, and has been embraced by both old and new generations of artists and enthusiasts. Commanding attention from its listeners, Kill The Noise has earned support from a diverse selection of notable players in the global electronic dance music community. Names such as Chromeo, Ocelot, Franki Chan of Iheartcomix, LA Riots, Scion Automotive Company, Treasure Fingers, Klever, Craze, Le Castle Vania, and Juxtapoz Magazine, just to name a few - not to mention the plethora of music blogs all over the world who have helped to spread the growing reputation of KTN. Whether it is an original composition or remix, the music stands out from the pack as something special to both the average and avid listeners.
2008 is already shaping up to be huge for Kill The Noise with a truckload of new material in the pipelines including various remixes and a debut EP of original material entitled "KILL KILL KILL". All in addition to a growling list of high-profile performances. Kill The Noise is on a mission to prove it's name to be true... Kill the noise, kill the production, kill the scene, and become the most influential production outfit on the block.
