"3 Bad Brothaz"

Here's a little story, I have to tell about three bad brothers you know so well, DJ Mike B, Kontrol and Kidd Star are the dynamic crew otherwise know as 3 Bad Brothaz. Best known for their sparkling hit "Just 2 Be With U". Their new album "The Live Wire Show: Atlanta" has the club kids raising their glow sticks in hopes for an encore. To be honest, breakbeats and house are really not my first choice at the jukebox. However, I try to write about the music our publishers request without predjudice and with my ears wide open. That being said, I would like to tell the story about my conversion to the world of breakbeats and the DJs that made it possible. I sit in a hotel room talking with the masterminds of 3 Bad Brothaz, Kidd Star and Kontrol. I watch Kidd Star as he meticulously irons his shirt getting himself ready for his performance at the 3 year anniversary of a local club. I begin to pick the brains of quite possibly the most brilliant minds house music has to offer. 3 Bad Brothaz as a group has gone through some changes in the recent past, including the insertion of Atlanta's Darling... DJ Mike B into the mix. Originally from upstate New York, Stephen Monica better known as Kontrol leads the discussion on how his special brand of music gets oodles and gads of the most perfect specimens of the female gender on the dance floor begging and pleading for another go around the turntable. He tells me about the in and outs of his handcrafted label, Live Wire Entertainment. Giving shelter to such bands as Germany's 666 and DJ Dean. As any good musician knows a "Hit" single sometimes sells the album. In the case of the 3 Bad Brothaz, the album sells the album. If this album were worth its weight in people, it would be China. Driving home from our meeting I was anxious to listen to the album and get a taste of proof in the pudding. With each track that passed I became more and more captivated. I also noticed a unique quality in each and every one of the songs that put my pedal to the metal leaving me at risk of a speeding ticket. Tracks to check out: Blast Dis, Children of the 80s, Feel My Energy, The Booty Shaker and Running on Empty.

"Brian Fink CD Review"

“This may be from The Live Wire Show in the ATL, but these CDs can work ANYWHERE! 3 Bad Brothaz did an awesome job of mixing breaks, with trance, and even into hard trance. By including proven club anthems (AND radio hits) from such masters as 666, Trashy, Sharaz, Infiniti, Diana Fox, Johnny Cage, and even 3 Bad Brothaz themselves, this 2 CD set is a must have! If you are an electronica fan, you will definitely be a fan of 3 Bad Brothaz: The Live Wire Show: Atlanta�.

"Tracy St. George CD Review"

“The Live Wire Show: Atlanta CD is incredible! The 3 Bad Brothaz Remixes of Milk Inc's Walk On Water and Lumidee's Never Leave You are 2 of the biggest requests on All The Hits Q100. Their sound is the future of music. Even if there was no music, Kidd Star, Kontrol and DJ Mike B are fun to watch and put on a great show and always keep the party rockin'!
Tracy St. George (Q100/ 100.5 WWWQ-FM/ Atlanta, GA) - Q100/ 100.5 WWWQ-FM (Atlanta, GA)


"Collin Vaughn CD Review"

“This CD is solid! It represents energy and flavor that is desired by the masses. It provides all the essential elements that a CD needs. It is full of timeless tracks that will blow away any dancefloor or stereo! I don't think there is another CD that you can buy out there today that matches the quality of this one.�
Collin Vaughn aka DJ C-Vaughn (The Buzz/ 96.5 KRBZ- FM/ Kansas City, KS) - The Buzz/ 96.5 KRBZ- FM (Kansas City, KS)


"Missy"

“In all my years with the company, I have never seen an independent CD sell like this. They debuted at #4 ahead of the new disc from Dave Matthews during its first week!�
Missy (Tower Records/ Manager/ Atlanta, GA) - Tower Records (Atlanta, GA)


"DJ Spin"

“After one listen to this CD I became a fan!�
