TKO Birmingham: W/ Wick-It the Instigator

I know you’ve probably heard about Nashville’s own Wick-It The Instigator. He’s got a reputation for doing some thoughtfully fresh and mindblowingly original mash-ups that take him from beyond a standard mash-up artist to a DJ/producer with skills that have turned heads and caught ears all over the Southeast. In a live setting, he sends people off with his mix of humor, ingenious pop culture samples and beats that can’t be touched. As Nashville’s go-to party-starter Dj, he’s recently shared Nashville stages with people as diverse as MiM0SA, PANTyRAiD, Yelawolf, ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, KRS ONE, Murs, Excision, Rusko, Doorly, 12th Planet, Nappy Roots, Brother Ali, Skrillex, Borgore, Glitch Mob and Ghostland Observatory. You may RSVP to the event on facebook. Discotek Nights will be photographically covering the party.

TKO Presents: DUB Squared w/ Reid Speed

Reid Speed has been a dancefloor destroyer for over a decade, and is second to none when it comes to heavy bass music rinseouts of all genres. She currently runs Play Me Records and Play Me Too, the United States' leading dubstep, drumstep and bass-of- all- genres labels while holding down a full production and tour schedule. As one of the first US DJs to champion speed garage & 2 step (which have become todays's fidget house and dubstep), her new label's quick rise to the top of the dance charts reflects her continually forward thinking musical evolution. Here are some photos of an evening with Reid Speed right here in Birmingham. Also, DJ Logic made a special visit to the show. You can view the full set of photos on flickr.
