"Last Voice"

Two heavy hits that manage to speak positive and call out injustice without being preachy, talking up MLK and Ghandi while creating one hell of a hype party. X:144‘s cuts blaze while SPS gives 110%, with a real urgency in his delivery. The whole thing is drenched in Florida keyboards but never comes across soft. Expect big things. - XLR8R Magazine


"Featured Artist of the Week"

"...you have DJ SPS - a remarkable turntablist that has won multiple awards for his skills. Not to sound too repetitive, but I have not seen a DJ move their hands as quickly as he can since a popular DJ battle several years ago (a battle that SPS may have won...?). He may seem like the quiet guy in the back of the stage, but there is no question that he is a prevalent and important factor in the group's equation."
- Rock for Hunger Orlando


"Leaving the Grind Behind"

If you popped into your local Costco any time between last month and, say, 1996, it’s likely that a genuine hip-hop star assisted you. Likewise if you’ve enrolled in a local technical school or called the number on the back of your credit card. Nearly every medium-sized city in America has at some point been able to claim a small measure of glory for an inhabitant who’s made it out and done good, but Orlando’s hip-hop scene has proved surprisingly fertile of late. When breakout stars Sol.illaquists of Sound hit the road this fall for a previously unthinkable national headlining tour, they will be accompanied by X:144 & SPS — two young men who have just quit their day jobs.

On a sweltering Saturday in downtown Orlando, a commotion is heard from an unseen back area of Culture Mart, alternately an art gallery for S.O.S. member Swamburger’s canvas endeavors and a makeshift base of operations for Nonsense Records, the label X:144 & SPS call home. Nonsense founder Kelly Shockley, a burly, tattooed and welcoming figure, stumbles out with an ancient-looking CD/cassette player and cranks the volume on “Lose Control,” a Caribbean-meets-crunk track from the duo’s forthcoming debut, M.E.

“What more could you ask for? It’s our first national tour and I’m going out with family,” says X:144, his head nodding emphatically to the outrageous beat as the grinning, gold-plated mug of an Ol’ Dirty Bastard painting looms over his shoulder.

“The MC and DJ relationship is definitely not being utilized to its maximum potential, and that’s what we represent. We’re lovin’ it.” Lyricist X (born Maged Khalil Ragab) exudes the ease of a man who has put more than a decade’s work into a secondary career that has finally allowed him to give up the first. An audio instructor at Full Sail, the notorious boot camp for the starry-eyed, Ragab achieved success as a solo artist first. (He was this publication’s choice for best hip-hop act in 2003.) When he met SPS, he claims, the years of hard work suddenly made sense.

“At the time nobody was really moving at the speeds we were as individuals, so it only made sense for us to hook up,” Ragab says. “We’re both looking to elevate our game.”

“When we’re working together it’s not that hard,” SPS says. “It’s like clockwork.” SPS (real name Earl Mike II) is now a former member of team Costco after 10 years of service. He sits toward the back of the mart, and one gets the feeling that if he could talk from behind a closed door, he would. A reserved but cordial man, Mike comes alive behind a deck. For years he traveled the country as a competition turntablist, a lost art in which DJs battle with their hands, and last year he repeated his win as the Southeast champion.

“The turntables are a part of him, like a guitar is part of a guitar player,” says Shockley. “It’s really amazing just to be around the guy when he’s around the turntables.”

About three years ago, Mike began doing side work for various Nonsense artists, and he quickly became a hot commodity within the family. “I remember Kelly saying, ‘Man, SPS has some bangin’-ass beats,’” Ragab says. Shockley had a vision and it has proved to be a fruitful one, but as with any partnership, there were complications. “The funny thing is, I talked to X about it, and I said, ‘Man, you and SPS should get together,’” attests Shockley. “He’s like, ‘Really? What about Andromeda?’ I said, ‘No, don’t worry about that.’”

Andromeda, the wildly popular Orlando duo Mike co-founded with lyricist Carlos Ramirez, was on the ropes when Mike began working with Nonsense. “Andromeda was kind of on the standstill. We weren’t really doing much, phone calls weren’t being returned. It kind of fizzled,” says Mike. Almost immediately following their raucous win at the Orlando Music Awards in 2002, for Best Hip-Hop Act, life began getting in the way. “I still get people that walk up to me and look at me like they saw a ghost,” Ramirez says.

Ramirez claims that at the same time Andromeda was peaking, reorganizations at the bank where he works during the day restricted the freedom he previously used to work on the group. Although he supports his former partner “110 percent,” he laments that focusing on a more family-friendly, steady career may have cost him the opportunity he so longed for. “I’m working on a solo project, but it’s difficult. I feel empty,” Ramirez says.

The music fades on the boom box and eyes turn hesitantly to the door, then to the nearly white heat outside. Ragab is still smiling and softly drops a clue that will answer all subsequent questions from fans or press about the origins of this team-up.

“‘If the Shoe Fits’ is gonna surprise a lot of people,” says Ragab. A haunting, jazz-infused meditation on the politics of emotion, “Shoe” begins with the words, “Finding a counterpart/Like finding a new pair of shoes/Help you identify and simplify the family feuds.”

Braving the step from air-conditioning to the outside curb, X:144 & SPS, freed daily grinders who for years have posed at night as hip-hop stars, are ready for the spotlight of the “Quit Your Dead End Job 2006 Tour.” - Orlando Weekly


"This Little Underground"

I’ve sung the praises of Orlando’s DJ SPS high and low, specifically how his fleet- fingered sets leave my brain in little chunks dripping down the nearest wall. Well, those skills just earned the turntable killer the DMC USA Supremacy crown, a hugely prestigious title given by the world’s authority on DJ culture. This effectively validates him as the country’s best battle DJ.

SPS will be flown to London to compete in the DMC World DJ Championships Sept. 26 and 27. Serious propers and good luck, son. - Orlando Weekly


"DJs SPS, J-Storm, Sureshot and beatboxer Rubox join forces for an all-star scratchfest"

Oh, sure. Nonsense Records are the nice guys, right? Always keeping it real, giving the artists a leg up? Then riddle me this: How’s a DJ supposed to make a name for himself with Tablehogs around?

It was bad enough when DJs like SPS and J-Storm were milking beats out of every record in town and bringing national hip-hop battle trophies home to Florida like cheap vacation souvenirs. But in a vulgar display of overkill, they’ve joined forces, bringing Jacksonville DJ Sureshot and beatboxer Rubox into the fold for an all-star scratchfest that will have heads bobbing from here to Scribble Jam. Remember names like the X-Ecutioners? Invisibl Skratch Piklz? Tablehogs do. And they’re here to reminisce.

Tablehogs play The Social on Dec. 19

So the obvious stuff first: What made you decide to get together as Tablehogs?
SPS: We’ve known each other for years. We were always a crew, and we’ve done things similar to what we’re doing now, but now it’s more like the real deal. Especially at this time, where turntablism is … there’s not as many teams in the US as there used to be. I think it’s really good that we’re doing this now.

You’ve definitely carved out your niches individually. How does it work with the four of you onstage?
SPS: A lot of it lately has been improv. Sureshot catches a rhythm or a groove, then I’ll play off that. J-Storm will take lead on something else, then Rubox will come in and we just mesh it all together.

Rubox: There’s just so many options. With them as DJs, they’re well established with mixing records and scratching, but here we’re really using the turntable as an instrument. SPS will start mixing records, while J will throw in a stab of an orchestra riff, then Sureshot will come in and start scratching a vocal sample, and then in the middle of that I’ll come in and take over the beat, then all three of them play off that. I think that’s where the whole aspect of composition comes into play.

So it’s like this complicated game of four-square between you guys.
Rubox: Yeah, I think so.

SPS: Four-Square, that should be our album name.

Sureshot: Or foreskin.

Rubox: That’s the B-sides.

Seems like it would make for more of a stage show. You keep yourselves sharp, it’s more of a band dynamic …
SPS: I think a lot it has to do with our skill level ten years ago versus now. We just come together. It’s just new. We’re trying to come out different than just having a DJ sitting there with headphones on. In hip-hop, you want to see a DJ get down. You want to see him get busy, and I think that’s missing out in a lot of music. We’re here to show you that DJing can be fun again, and not just watching a dude mixing an MP3.

It seems like this is kind of a trend with Nonsense artists, all this collaboration.
Rubox: I guess all of us have our own fan base somewhat, so it helps. J as far as his group, Grey Matter, X and SPS, me as a solo artist, and Sureshot has his people from Jacksonville …

Sureshot: No, dude, I’m just the new guy. (Laughs.) I’m the guy that disappeared for awhile.

J-Storm: I was gone for awhile too. Stationed in San Diego in the Navy. We did cruises out there; it was like being on a big floating prison.

Rubox: During that time from 2000 up to now, we’d been on kind of a solo journey. But at the same time, all of us were still moving forward. But it wasn’t until this year, when J moved back to Florida and then all of a sudden Sureshot gets transferred to Maitland … it was like, whoa. And then the whole talk was, now that we’ve continued to do this, how can we take it on another level as a unit?

Sureshot: He said unit.

SPS: The focus is more on the origin of hip-hop these days, and that’s beats, the DJ, the beatbox. I think we’re preserving that. Skills and everything, we’re the ones trying to bring that back. That’s what’s gonna make us stand out.

Sureshot: I’m gonna be that dude. Nobody’s fuckin’ with us in Orlando. - Metromix Orlando


"Q&A with X:144 and SPS"

On-stage and off, a new force in hip-hop known as X:144 and SPS are ready to be reckoned with and
recognized. Producing hip-hop that's true to them and pure to the genuine schematic of the genre (an emceeand a DJ), this isn't just a hobby for them, but a mission.

Orlando CityBeat:
You go from being familiar faces in town to having your first record (M.E.) available nationwide. How did this happen without the help of an old school, super-sized record label?

SPS: First and foremost, we both have a love and desire to express ourselves through the music, and musical gifts that we so long have crafted. We finally had the opportunity to let it be heard through Nonsense Records. Long story short, Kelly Shockley, founder of Nonsense, saw and heard our talents individually, and wanted us to collaborate. X and I were already friends in the hip-hop community, and both of us were already reaching another level of creativity while working solo. So we met up, mapped out ideas and the rest is what you hear now.

OCB: Your first single "Last Voice" has been receiving a lot of love from college radio, how do you see
this sort of attention building into the bigger picture?

SPS: I see this as a re-evaluation, or sort of wake up call and voice of us collectively as a new face in the
hip-hop scene, one that needs to be taken serious. That song sparks a revolutionary change over the airwaves. Much [is] needed today amongst a lot of the cliché, commercialized music. We're glad people are requesting it and hearing the urgent message as well as appreciating the quality of the song. Hopefully people will want
to explore our minds more and know that we are for real at what we do as a group.

OCB: The title of the tour was "Quit Your Dead End Job"... serendipitously, you both left day jobs to pursue music full-time. What lead to this decision and do you have any regrets?

SPS: For us, quitting our jobs was a step that had to be done in order to feel free of the mental strain of
deciding what was right and wrong. I knew our music made us feel good inside. Our jobs had restrictions that took away from what we really should have been pursuing, which is the music. I was uncertain of course, but if we were to do it all the way, I told myself now is the time. We had to believe in ourselves and in what we
stand for…there's no looking back. The "Quit Your Dead End Job" tour was a learning experience that
showed us that we can do anything in life. You have to go out and do it, with no regrets.

OCB: So after you decided on your new path, what was it like to perform in front of rooms filled with
people who have probably never heard your music before?

SPS: Most people at first have to warm up to what we are doing at the shows. X knows how to get a crowds attention right away, and let me tell ya, he's not afraid to let you know to loosen up. People's reactions after our shows are either initial shock, or, well-received. That makes me feel like we've made a connection with
the crowd, and that's a good thing.

X:144: The process of going out to different cities is equivalent to performing in your [own] hometown. Whatever effort you took in creating any notoriety at home, is the same process needed everywhere. In other words … it's not something we aren't familiar with, we're starting over in every city we go to.

OCB: What is it like to come back home after months on the road, personally and as a team? What
should we look forward to in 2007?

SPS: After coming home from being on the road, we've gained more experience together as a team on stage and off. We've realized that this is what we chose to do with our lives, and we take it a lot more serious now than ever. We have also learned that there are still people out there that support good music, and are down to come out and show it to the artists. Personally, I still have my bags still packed with clothes. I miss the road
already ...!

X:144: I have yet to un-pack also (laughs). In 2007, expect more tours, and a new album. We have some other secrets up our sleeve, but Orlando will always have first dibs on what moves we make.

OCB: What kind of impression do you want people to be left with of X:144 and SPS?

SPS: I want people to know that we are genuine at what we do. Our message is key to the preservation of hip-hop. We as a people are the last voice when all is said and done.

OCB: Kidding yet curious: do you ever see yourselves producing a ballad?

SPS: I will let you answer that one, Mr. Balladeer 1:44 …

X:144: (Laughing) I thought 'Almost' and 'If the shoes fits, wear it…' - OrlandoCityBeat


"GObama!"

After over a decade on the battle scene & almost throwing in the towel on his entire career, DJ SPS finally managed to achieve what dedicated turntablists all around the world dream of when they touch their first set of decks: winning the coveted DMC Supremacy title!

If you're unfamiliar with DJ SPS' history, one might assume that his recent title wins (which include the Universal Zulu Nation Supremacy Championship, the USA DMC Supremacy Championship and making it to the DMC World Finals in London this year) have garnered him respect and attention all across the globe for some time now. However, anyone who's been around the block in the world of battling can tell you that the truth of the matter is, SPS has been one of the most slept on deejays for years & at this year's DMC World's, he more than surprised spectators and judges when he beat out competitors who were higher seeded than he was, one round at a time. The funny thing is: close friends who spoke with Speed (a moniker he acquired for his rapid scratching and juggling techniques) said that just before he departed for the US Supremacy battle at the Knitting Factory in New York recall him saying, "If I don't win the title this time, I'm retiring from the battle circuit."

I can't say with 100% confidence that SPS took Presidential Elect Barack Obama's "Yes, we can!" mantra to heart, but 2008 definitely proved to be a year for change when this man won the US title and was invited to represent our nation in London at the DMC World Championship. Becoming a world finalist reinvigorated his career and elevated his visibility to another dimension in the universe that is deejaying. Shortly after his UK debut, SPS set off on a tour throughout Europe with several indie artists from the States and wrapped up his trip by locking in a solo tour slated for March 2009.

Whether you love him or underestimate him, SPS has proven himself time and again. It seems his persistence and nonchalant attitude have been the cornerstones of his success. It's anyone's guess what he'll conquer next or what battle he'll tackle in the coming months. But this much is for certain, second place sucks, and he's not settling or retiring anytime soon!

"Home Grown Roots"

Once, merely known to his peers as a local battle DJ, DMC USA Supremacy Champ & World Finalist, SPS burst onto the international scene this summer with an impressive performance at the prestigious DMC Worlds Battle and an impromptu tour that garnered him representation from an established Euro tour agent and a brand new fan base overseas. Quick not to dismiss his roots, this seasoned turntablist is staying close to home for the time being and playing a string of dates in and around the Central Florida region.

Up first on the list: Tampa's famous Ybor City strip! SPS will be appearing live for a special DJ set at Level 3 Nightclub this coming Saturday, December 13th. Joined by DJ Naughty & DJ Heavyweight, this tri-level nightclub will be catering to the female population, keeping the party groovin' for Ladies' Night! Then on Tuesday, December 16th, Orlando welcomes SPS home at The Social's famed Phat N Jazzy, when he opens for Rob Swift of the X-Ecutioners. Hip hop lovers beware: extreme flavor may overload your brain! And rounding things out before the New Year, DJ SPS' last gig of 2008 will celebrate DJ Rincon's next trip around the sun, as they both tear up the wheels of steel, Saturday, December 20th at PJ's Sake Lounge in the Dr. Phillip's area.

Continually shaking things up on the battle scene and aiming his sights on the World title in 2009, SPS has proven this much; humility, talent and persistence are key ingredients to any successful manifestation of one's deepest desires. Still dreaming, this champ is grateful for his hometown's support & is representing to the full fullest, every where he goes! - 4Bars News


"This Little Undergound"

Best DJ: SPS

I’ve been telling you that the turntablist partner-in-crime of rapper X:144 is a total badass. Now DMC officially has my back: The foremost global authority on mix culture crowned him the best battle DJ in America last September. Yes, greatness walks among you. - Orlando Weekly


"Dj Sps: Second place sucks! Scritto da Carmen C. Sorbara "

In apparenza timido e tranquillo, dj Sps è un campione Dmc (famosa battle mondiale di djing) Usa 2008 e vincitore di molti altri titoli, anche mondiali. Mag lo ha intervistato per raccontarvi la storia di questo umile dj che, rispettando il suo amore verso l’hip hop e la musica in generale, è riuscito a conquistare meritatamente ogni obiettivo che si era prefissato!

Chi è Dj Sps?
«Ho iniziato ad allenarmi nel 1991 a Berlino. Vivevo là perché mio padre era nell’esercito. Non praticavo sport o attività svolte da gruppi come i ragazzi dell’epoca, ascoltavo le stazioni radio che trasmettevano Hip Hop. Andai ad un live dei Public Enemy per assistere alla performance solista del loro dj e la sua attitudine e i suoi scratch mi spinsero a intraprendere il djing. Mi procurai un lavoretto all’Apo (Army post office) per acquistare i giradischi: ho semidistrutto i piatti di mio padre e di mio fratello! Essendo una persona timida, quale sono tutt’oggi, non ho mai chiesto quale tipo di attrezzatura fosse più adatta, ma leggevo molti cataloghi musicali e riviste hip hop prestando attenzione a tutto ciò che i musicisti e dj usavano. Il primo giradischi rimase inutilizzato perché non avevo mixer. Il mese successivo lo acquistai, ma mi mancava un giradischi e per un mese ho usato questo setup. Risuonavo ogni scratch ascoltato nei dischi provando a perfezionare tutto ad orecchio. Acquistati entrambi i giradischi non sono più uscito di casa, e mio fratello diceva ai miei compagni di scuola che ero a casa a fare il dj, anche se nessuno ci credeva… Nessuno mi aveva mai visto né ascoltato! Van Tell, che tutti conoscevano nella mia scuola, mi chiese se era vero ciò che si diceva di me in giro. Mi volle sempre con sé, e un giorno mi chiese se volevo aiutarlo a settare tutto per un teen party. Durante la serata mi disse che doveva assentarsi e mi chiese sepotevo continuare io… Ero terrorizzato, avevo sempre fatto tutto in camera mia, da solo! Mi disse di non preoccuparmi. Tornò tardissimo e quella fu la prima notte in cui feci il dj… il resto è storia, grazie Van! Non fu che l’inizio della mia carriera come dj, produzioni e battle sono arrivate più tardi».
Che origini ha lo street name Sps?
«Mi chiamavano Speed perché dicevano fossi molto veloce, ma non mi piaceva. Tornai negli USA e mi venne presentato Mike Deelite che avevo visto su una video cassetta del Dmc, con lui mi sono allenato parecchio. Conobbi dj Storm e capii che volevo partecipare alle battle. Dopo tante gare a cui arrivavo secondo, sentivo che “Second place sucks” (il secondo posto non mi stava bene). Dall’acronimo è uscito il mio nome! Oggi ha un doppio significato: quando non vinco, e quando vinco lo uso rivolto come esclamazione verso il mio avversario (ride)!».
Cosa ci dici del Dmc?
«Avevo dieci anni di battle alle mie spalle. Ho lavorato con molti musicisti jazz e artisti con stili differenti che mi hanno insegnato musicalità e tecnica. Ma volevo il titolo Dmc Usa! Mi sono allenato 8 ore al giorno, ho implementato scratching, jugglin e showmantip in ogni routine di 90 secondi. Ciò mi ha dato i suoi risultati! Tutti gli anni di allenamento, battle e pratica finalmente avevano un senso. È stata un’esperienza indimenticabile!».
E della tua esperienza in Italia?
«Non ci ero mai stato. Mi ha invitato Mastafive e la serata è stata molto “fresh”. Il pubblico ha risposto bene e l’energia che mi trasmetteva è stata clamorosa! Dopo lo show, io e dj Double-S abbiamo infiammato i giradischi con una open session».
Hai un messaggio da lasciarci?
«Big up a Pete at Redefine Boutique, Swam & Second Subject recordings crew, Christie Z/ Tools of War/DMC, Tablehogs, NapoleonSolo & isWhat? e quelli che hanno creduto in me dall’inizio.“Eat gummie bears, drink Fanta and be happy!” (mangia orsacchiotti di gomma, bevi Fanta e sii felice! - ndt)».

Bio

Hawaiian-born, German-bred DJ SPS took the world of turntablism & battling by storm in 2006, when he won the Universal Zulu Nation World Championship title. Inquiring minds should take note that before SPS smashed his competitors on a global level, this flourishing battle DJ & producer got his start on the city streets of Berlin, where he first discovered his love for music, long before the wall ever came down.

As an army brat growing up overseas, this turntable phenom’s influences covered a huge spectrum of genres. It could have been the intense energy in Berlin at the time or his ever-changing geographic location, but even then, he was heavily drawn to the fat bass lines, hard-hitting drums and scratching in hip hop, as well as the frantic & electrifying energy of electronic music. It was his passion for these styles that would drive him to become a DJ.

Upon returning to the U.S. with an arsenal of ideas & a new found passion for the art of turntablism, SPS flooded the Florida music scene & captured titles with a vengeance for over three years. Wowing audiences across the nation with his unique hip hop and funk sets, his turntable style & skills garnered him an invitation to join the acclaimed 1200 Hobo’s DJ crew, as well as the Faderballistics battle crew.

SPS continued to dominate the turntable scene and teamed up with fellow MC/Producer X:144 to produce the nationally released LP, “M.E.” on indie label, Nonsense Records in 2006. The fruits of his labor paid off, when the duo earned a spot on the 40-city “Quit Your Dead End Job” Tour alongside Anti-/Epitaph recording artists, The Sol.illaquists of Sound with Glue and Prolyphic.

Earlier this year, SPS was crowned the USA DMC Supremacy Champion and was subsequently flown overseas to represent the States in London at the DMC World Battle, where he wrecked house and made it all the way to the semi-finals! With numerous credits to his name & titles that span over a decade, one might conclude there’s not much else for him to conquer. But watch out world! You’ve only caught a glimpse of what DJ SPS has to offer and he’s taking no prisoners, so stay tuned!
