DJ PREMIER<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I HAVE NEVER BEEN AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO CREATIVITY AND LEADING BY NOT GIVING A FUCK. THEREFORE I AM CURRENTLY ON TOUR IN EUROPE SHARPENING MY SKILLS WITH A BAND WHICH WE DECIDED TO NAME OURSELVES “DJ PREMIER & THE BADDER<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

WE WERE PLAYING AROUND IN THE STUDIO AT OUR SECOND REHEARSAL WAITING FOR OUR BASS PLAYER (BRADY WATT<\/strong>) TO ARRIVE AND MY TRUMPET\/KEYBOARD PLAYER (TAKU<\/strong>) STARTED PLAYING THIS KEYBOARD RIFF AND I WAS SCRATCHING THE “LET’S GET DOWN” LINE AND THEN OUR DRUMMER (LENNY “THE OX”<\/strong>) JOINED IN\u2026NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY ENGINEER (PARKS<\/strong>) RECORDED IT, AND WE RE-RECORDED IT WITH THE REST OF THE BAND. SHOUT TO OUR TROMBONE PLAYER (COREY KING<\/strong>) WHO’S ON ANOTHER TOUR AND DOPE WELCOME TO (MARK WILLIAMS<\/strong>) WHO WORKED OUT PERFECTLY JOINING OUR BAND IN PLACE OF HIM. MY LONGTIME PHOTOGRAPHER DANIEL HASTINGS<\/strong> (“HARD TO EARN<\/em>“) (“RETURN OF THE BOOM BAP<\/em>“), (“THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST<\/em>“), (“MOMENT OF TRUTH<\/em>“), (“THE OWNERZ<\/em>“), (“WRATH OF THE MATH<\/em>“) LET US COME TO HIS STUDIO IN HARLEM A FEW DAYS BEFORE HITTIN’ THE ROAD AND WE SHOT THIS VIDEO ON GREEN SCREEN EXCEPT FOR (TAKU<\/strong>) BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE ROAD IN JAPAN\u2026<\/p>\n

WHEN WE DID OPENING NIGHT IN HAMBURG, GERMANY, DJ MIRKO MACHINE<\/strong> AND A FEW OTHERS LOCATED SOME CAMERA MEN TO COME DO A QUICK SHOOT OF TAKU<\/strong> AT SOUND CHECK AND TAKU’<\/strong>S FOOTAGE WAS SENT TO NEW YORK AND WE GOT HIM IN THE VIDEO AND MADE IT WORK.<\/p>\n

HERE IS HOW IT CAME OUT\u2026.<\/p>\n

SHOUTS TO YANNICK REQUIS<\/strong>, IAN SCHWARTZMAN<\/strong> AND YUJI<\/strong> FOR THE IDEA OF DOING THIS BAND PROJECT…<\/p>\n
