It's Always Something


As you climb a dark stairway, dub bass reverberates off the walls from the second story chamber. Posted along the walls are spectators & performers and the dance floor is spinning with b-boys & b-girls. As the DJ cuts with precision like a switchblade, the MC goes mental into the microphone, swaying about in the dark, pushing his message to all who open their ears.In an world dominated by industry standards and classifications, comes a multi-talented duo capable of blazing a drum and bass show, as well as a hip hop show, or a combination of both.Rewind to '99 to find 360 rising thru the ranks of the Southeastern drum n bass scene with the innovative Straight Out Da Lab (SODL) crew with DJ Kaotic. Meanwhile, Fi3Ld (pronounced Field) was making a name for himself by smashing soundsystems with the legendary Outthabox (OTB) crew. After being billed on the same show, these crews began working in tandem to elevate the level of the expanding drum n bass & hip hop scene on the Southern US coast. Thus began their never-ending search for venues and outlets to release their sounds.Fast forward to the present, to a time where digital dominates across the board to find these two devising a way to collide the synthetic with tangible turntables and microphones. Along the way, they've encountered numerous DJ/MC combos, but few have collaborated as long as these two - thus giving them an undeniable and unmatched energy and sound.At the end of the day - it's all about freedom of expression. Everybody wants to get their music out there and people know commercial stations play it safe. These culture heads use any avenue available to get their brand to the eyes and ears of the masses.
