Have you ever heard of DJ GI JOE? If you have not you are certainly missing out. He is one of the best DJ's in the United States. Check out the clip below. You can also catch DJ GI JOE at The Higher Ground Showcase Lounge January 15th 2010 as part of a superb Hip-Hop show also featuring PHILADELPHIA SLICK, THE PROBLEMADDICTS, DJ DB COOPER & MALBOURNE THE MC, and NATURAL INGREDIENTS

As a hip hop band, Philadelphia Slick feels obligated to keep their ears tuned into everything. They cherish rap music because of its ability to cut across styles, tying differences together with drum loops, bass lines, and poetry. Funk, Soul, and Jazz were starting points, but the group has since branched out to incorporate classical, tango, techno, and other genres into their music. What results is a sound that is “both retro and futuristic in equal doses” according to Under the Radar. At times a tight trio, at times a sprawling orchestral twelve piece, Slick is able to rock venues from small bars to large theaters with a consistently energetic and diverse sound. Wonka Vision observes, “(Lead Emcee) Noesis likes to concoct rhymes that don’t just center around blind insults and rampant ego strokes.” After three years the group still doesn't feature a guitar; Slick's drummer doesn't use toms except to hold set lists or samplers. The group is currently at work on their second LP (Oil) to be released in May 2009. Their first effort, Culture Industry, is available at most digital outlets and at the band’s website: Philadelphiaslick.com.
