URBAN ASSAULT
(Urban Assault / Heavy Artillery Recordings / 5 Star Records / Easy Records / Shure / Rane / Serato / Tribal Gear)

”Urban Assault has blown apart the myth that, in order to be a successful artist in the field of drum & bass, you have to ply your trade in that respective industry only. Creatively, versatility appears to be the name of the game as far as Faust & Shortee are concerned. This male/female combination of performers is far from a gimmick – they're renowned as some of the most talented in the industry, having paid their dues and then some.”
KNOWLEDGE MAGAZINE

From Hip-Hop, Breaks & Electro trick sets to crushing stateside Drum & Bass scratched to perfection; Faust & Shortee have awed masses worldwide. Ranked as one of the top turntablists in the world by SPIN, Faust released the first turntablist album in history, the critically lauded Man Or Myth and continues to push the boundaries of his production today in various genres. URB’s Next 100, Playboy’s scratch diva & Fever/Buzz Battle of the DJs Champion, Shortee is acknowledged as one of the most diverse, technically skilled female DJs in the world and has been named “Queen of the Scratch World” by DJ Times. She produced the 1st & only turntablist album by a female, her own DJ instructional DVD series & the 1st female-centric battle record “Bikini Wax” (5 Star Records). Together their solo & team albums have earned them critical acclaim in major publications like Muzik, SPIN, URB, Remix, Knowledge, ATM, DJ Times, Rolling Stone etc., & their music is featured on MTV, NBC, CNN & ESPN.

Constantly in the lab working on an arsenal of dance floor bangers, they’ve also launched two labels of their own: Heavy Artillery Recordings (Drum & Bass/Breaks/Electro) & 5 Star Records (Hip Hop/Battle/DJ Tools). Faust & Shortee produce drum & bass under the name Urban Assault and their tune “Away” was released .. Recordings and nominated for the category of Best Jungle/D&B track in the 2008 International Dance Music Awards.

Urban Assault has also released dnb singles on various other labels including their most recent releases: a remix of DC Breaks “Do You Believe” (Restless Natives Recordings) and their remix of Nicky Blackmarket & Phantasy’s “Crank” ft MC Skibadee with their own “Easy Run Tings” on the flip (Easy Records).

In addition to their productions, DnB veterans Digital & Phantasy commissioned Shortee to create a mix cd for the popular “Jungle Story Album” featuring remixes & exclusive original tunes by Urban Assault (Easy/Sativa Records). Her live performance at Random Concept’s annual “Innovation in the Sun” festival is also featured on the “Innovation 5 Year Anniversary” Mix CD Pack as well as video & interview footage on the much lauded Random Concept DVD. Looking forward to drum & bass in 2009, be on the lookout for Urban Assault releases on Easy Records, additional collaborations with MC Skibadee on his upcoming album and upcoming digital releases on their own Heavy Artillery Recordings imprint.
