Residents Mark Ronson, The
Abstract, blu jemz welcome DJ Premier
Tonite. No more than three producers (Dr.Dre,
RZA and Prince Paul) can test DJ Premier's status as the
most important trackmaster of the 90's, and no style is more distinctive.
Aggressive and raw, a Premier track was an instantly recognizable soundclash of
battling loops and heavy scratching -- all of them perfectly timed -- that
evoked the sound of Brooklyn better than anyone. Besides helming tracks for his
main concern, Gang Starr, since their 1989 debut, Premier's productions
appeared on many of the East Coast's most important records : Nas'
Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Jay-Z's
Reasonable Doubt, Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises In The East,
and Mos Def's Black On Both Sides. Doors open à 10:00pm til late
