Houston, TX (07/21/09) — This July is the final month that Speakerboxx runs its course at The Backroom (3718 Main behind The Mink). Thursdays belong to the Speakerboxx heavyhitters two more weeks with hosting DJs Squincy Jones and Dayta on deck plus El Roy Boogie and Reko Trill on the mic. The last Thursday night, July 30, is host to the not-to-be-missed Sneaker Summit Pre-Party.

For a year and some change, the weekly hot spot, which was a spin-off of the wildly popular Rock Box at The Proletariat, has been hosted by resident DJs Squincy Jones (Awwready.edu) and Dayta (NanaChill.com). This duo continues to meld music genres, bring in national touring DJs and, most importantly, bring up local talent.

You can catch the Speakerboxx gang over at Block 21 (2420 Washington) on Fridays, where they regularly spin more “party rocking jams”. Their official Rotate Fridays kick off at Block 21 on July 31st.

So for now, don’t sleep on the LAST TWO Speakerboxx Thursdays in Houston:

The Almighty Kracker Nuttz
A Decade Strong Anniversary

Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Club Next (2020 McKinney, Houston, TX)
Admission: $10/$7 with a canned good
Doors: 10 p.m. – 2 a.m.; 18+ ladies, 21+ fellas

Houston, TX (10/25/08)–When the city’s most recognized on-air DJs get together to celebrate, it’s always a party. But give them a special reason to reunite and reflect on a 10 years of solidarity, then it’s really goin’ down! KBXX The Boxx’s Almighty Kracker Nuttz are going “A Decade Strong” and gathering folks up the night before Thanksgiving, Wednesday, November 26, at Club Next (2020 McKinney) for what should be absolutely memorable.

Founded in 1998 by brothers who shared a vision of integrating culture into their music and entertainment, DJ KleanCutt and Baby Jae established the Kracker Nuttz in the city of Houston. Their passion for turntables and good music soon became a strong bond that resonated with friends, family, and the community.

In no time the KNuttz organization grew with the addition of long-time friend and radio veteran DJ Ron EG. Also added to the group were DJs Akshun Kid, Kosuri, Cipher, Eddie, Milo, Rodney, Nino, Debbie, and finally Roy. Soon after the KNuttz became a staple in Houston’s nightlife and on the airwaves. They landed a coveted spot on Houston’s widely acclaimed hip hop and R&B station, “97.9 the BOX.” The KNuttz had hit the Houston scene in full force, incorporating their turntables, tricks, and scratches into all of their live radio mixes.
The KNuttz make regular guest appearances at shows, special events and some of the South’s top music venues–proof that the music industry has taken a notice of their crazy antics. Most notably, the KNuttz entertained events such as the premiere party for film X-Men (2000) in New York City, the Import Expo Show (2000, 2001) hosted by M&N Entertainment, R Kelly’s “Best Of Both Worlds” after party, and opened for legendary rap groups De La Soul, Common, and the Pharcyde, just to name a few.

Entertainment is covered when you call on The Kracker Nuttz: everything from radio to the club, competing in DJ Battles, hosting parties, producing and remixing, and to hands-on, face-to-face street promotions. They continue to leave a lasting impression, because the Kracker Nuttz stay “ALL UP IN YOUR MOUTH!”

The Scion BEAT Tour blew through Houston a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve just had a chance to recap some of those nights. And here it goes…

On FRI, August 22, Witnes touched back down in Texas to jam with us for Shake & Pop at Boondocks. Ruff Cutt DJs G.Wizz and El Jeffe warmed up the night with mid-tempo electro, funk and disco edits. Folks were ready to dance when I stepped up to the plate. With El Roy Boogie on the mic, I kept the energy up and crowd dancing with everything from old club classics to new club bangers. I even had Daniel Allen (aka DJ DZ), who taught me how to DJ, at my side watching my every mix. Wit and Shane just killed it after that! There was absolutely no room in that place to dance until things cleared out 5 minutes too early.

A Shake & Pop reunion in NYC is in the works before the year’s out, indeed.

Corporate-sponsored partying ensued.
