In the past six months alone, Searchl1te has bombed beats in Buenos Aires, NYC, San Fran, Vegas, Chicago and all points between. The founder of Part Time Sucker Radio, Searchl1te (a.k.a. Kee – BassByThePound Crew) has been doing non-commercial radio for nearly a decade with WNUR 89.3 Fm, www.Dubstep.Fm, www.Destroyer.net and www.Dnbradio.com. On the turntables or tweaking a live P.A., Searchl1te lays out monster bass weight and teeth-rattling percussion. Irreverent of genre but observant of vibes, he brings the sarcopha-beats, yard techno, scandalbass and tech:freek biz. His tunes are loaded with his own field recordings, samplings from a nerdy collection of vinyl and collabs with the underground’s tuffest lyricists and musicians. For a day gig, Searchl1te teaches reading, writing and music production to incarcerated youth in Chicago. Visit www.FreeWriteJailArts.org to peep writing, art, and tracks produced by his students.
“[Searchl1te] ditches the brainless foursquare beats that serve as cha-cha diagrams for the honkiest segment of the club population …His tracks are made of hearty, pulse-pounding stuff: mile-high quantum-overdrive synth pulses, queasy stereo-phase effects from your best panic attack, and sub-sonic free falls that aim to evacuate your bowels.” -- Chicago Reader
