SF TEKDBZ




A super crew brought together by the mighty Photek in 2004. Hand
picked all-stars with a mission to make some noise and be heard. The
sound of TEKDBZ is a unique fusion of hip hop, dancehall, and drum &
bass; a sound only heard once at a sold out show at House of Blues
Sunset Strip. Prepare for a delivery of fast and furious beats
combined with that grimey flavor that only comes from the streets.

SPECIAL GUEST!
CASUAL
of HIEROGLYPHICS (OAK)
http://www.hieroglyphics.com / http://www.myspace.com/smashrockwell


Making many appearances on other Hiero albums such as his verse on \"Limitations\" on the 93 Til Infinity album, Casual made a name for himself by having some of the illest lyrics ever. If you\'ve never heard this kid rip s**t, then you need to go pick up his debut album, Fear Itself (JIVE/Zomba records, 1993-94). It instantly became a hip-hop classic to many fans who were starving for something fresh. His distinctive, deep voice, coupled with the way he changes the pitch in his verses make for an all new style, which heavily complimented hip-hop music.
As if lyrics were not enough, Casual (AKA John Owens) has almost perfected the skill of production. Del\'s \"Catch a Bad One\" was produced by Casual, and remains many Hiero fans\' favorite Hiero cut ever. His skills have been leant to other Hiero members as well. Casual produced a couple of tracks for No man\'s Land, and his voice can be heard on every Hiero album ever published. And for all those Extra Pro fans out there who may not know, it was Casual who noticed Snupe posessed exceptional skills in rhyming, and decided to adopt him into the Hiero crew, so you have him to thank for that contribution!

MENTAL SHARP (PHI)
http://www.mentalsharp.com / http://www.myspace.com/mentalsharp

Inspirited but untainted by their recent notoriety, both Armanni and Sharpness
continue to perform dilligently as if each show is their best and every
fan is their favorite. When asked about their influences they reference
KRS One, Eminem, Outkast, Skibadee and even Korn. MCs Armanni and
Sharpness have taken things to the next level with their hop-hop full
length, \"On n Poppin\' \" which is currently out under the moniker
Mental Sharp. Their prolific talents have graced a growing number of
underground anthems including Farenhiet 215, and Hit Em Hard. Adding
to their many creative accomplishments, MC Armanni is the reigning
Def Jam/Ruff Ryders MC battle champion for 2006, adding even more
shine to Mental Sharp\'s already blinding lyrical star.

HOCHI & INFILTRATA (SD / LA)
http://www.myspace.com/hochidsp / http://www.infitrata.com / http://www.myspace.com/infiltratadj

Hochi & Infiltrata are the next generation of TEKDBZ superstars, with
production credits to there name already putting shame to veteran
producers, these two have proven that they will change the game.
Hochi\'s work with G-Unit, Killa Priest and Joel Ortiz, and Infitrata\'s
work with RBX, and the Visionaries\' LMNO is a strong indicator that
seperately these two are on fire, but together, they will challenge
the way you look at music.

DEADLY HUNTA (UK)
http://thecatch.co.uk

Deadly Hunta started chatting with The Sound System African Roots and
Sky Juice in the early 90\'s, and soon thereafter opened up for Glamour
Kid, Silvier Taylor, Daddy Freddy and many more. In 96, Deadly Hunta
signed a record deal with MCA and ended the year touring with legend
Buju Banton. This should make it very clear that this an artist and
musician of the highest caliber. Backed by the armory of Catch 22
Productions and supporting their epic upcoming single \"Mama Mia\" out
on TEKDBZ in the near future. The dancefloor may very well not be
ready for the energetic flow and vision of this dynamic performer.

MESSINIAN (PHI)
http://www.killmessinian.com

Messinian is a machine. His intense delivery and crazy antics are
known the world over due to his constant touring with the Planet of
the Drums crew. He was unable to make it to the last show in Los

unlike anything you have ever witnessed. Love him or hate him, he will
be spitting into mics until he is dead.
