MySpace a place for friends

itch13 aka itchie fingers aka resident itchard mixin aka "the prettiest dj in the city" (i didn't say it, but i will humbly accept it... i can't be faded when it come to humility!)

i'm a dj, an mc, and a producer. the first and second tracks are examples of my production. the third selection demonstrates some of what i do as an mc (shouts to maker for the beat for "sun in the night" and see more perspective for recording and engineering). the fourth joint is a funky ass remix i did of Lupe Fiasco's "I Gotcha". feel free to download them and share them with your friends. :D

as a dj, you can check me out at OHM, 1958 W, North Avenue, above Tavern and Absinthe, upstairs, every Saturday, alongside residents Scream, Sye Young, and Eddie V,and various guests including Trilogy, AMPM, NewLife, Sabado, Shon Dervis, Skor, Boy Wonder, and Marco Morales, to name a few. you can also check me at Super Heroes of Sound which is ALIVE HIP HOP performance series me and my homies Aquil, Demented, Rasheed, Insight, and Marion curate, organize, and promote. check out the Super Heroes of Sound MySpace page for upcoming shows, photos, and songs from performers in upcoming shows... always third thursdays at Funky Buddha, and sometimes at Elastic. you can catch me at various other spots around chicago sporadically. i'm down with a dj crew called the play cousins (aquil, two1, sum guy, and me). i'm the official dj of young chicago authors (yca). i also spin for FM Supreme, Jyroscope, idris goodwin, kevin coval, a to see, see more perspective, il. subliminal, dove rock, lamon, and iron vagina crew (yes, that crew is made up of mostly dudes). i play a wide range of music, including hip hop, house, rock, reggae, disco, funk, soul, pop, broken beat, drum n bass, mashups and whatever else might be super funky... or beautiful... with a hip hop style (my foundation)... mostly things i enjoy and want to share with the world. music that moves me, and i hope will move you, too. but i'm not afraid of the top 40 neither.

i am one of the hip hop buyers at a wonderful record store called gramaphone, 2843 n. clark, 773.472.3683. i specialize in buying independent hip hop for the store. if you have a completed project that you would like to have in our store hit me up, i'd be happy to stock it. hook me up with it, too! i'll play it if i like it! i listen to everything i get my hands on at least once. i'm there monday and friday evenings, and tuesday during the day. BELIEVE IN VINYL! MP3s are cool. but nothing beats touching the music.

on the Fourth of July, i will be playing at a huge party at the Metro/Smart Bar alongside DJs Boolumaster and Lil Jon. peep me at Smart Bar from midnight - 1:30!

this is during the day on July 4 @ Schubas!

this is July 17 @ Black Gate Sessions w/ the homies 1773, and Contriband's first show back from hiatus! and SoulStice (who is incredible!)

Volta Masters featuring 1773 (and me on the cuts!).
