Tactic ~ Tactic is the DJ partnership between Ben Fuller and Brent Lippincott aka dj Candlewax. The two came together creatively in late 2002 while both were living in Lawrence, Kansas. Ben was finishing up his journalism degree at KU and Brent had recently returned to the area after completing his degree in music industry management to run the local hip-hop label Datura Records. The two first met as guests on the immensely popular ‘Breakfast For Beatlovers’ on KJHK 90.7 FM, KU’s student run radio station. It was not until Ben invited Brent to play at one of his events in Lawrence that the two realized they had more in common musically than they had previously thought. Between the two of them, they have explored every aspect of the music industry. Whether it is djing, production, event promotion or running a successful independent hip-hop label, Ben and Brent live and breath music to the fullest. Tactic was put on hold for the past year after Brent moved to Seattle in July o...

Justin Kleinfeld ~ New York - On July 11, The Remote releases their debut album Too Low To Miss. The Remote is comprised of Ashley Casselle (previously recording under the name Ashtrax) and front man Ben Lost who have joined forces to create an incredibly cool electronic band project. With a voice reminiscent of Pete Shelley from the Buzzcocks, the sexually ambivalent looks of a young Bowie and the rock n’ roll presence of a youthful Iggy Pop, The Remote has in Ben Lost a front man for a new generation. This album should be high on your radar. Signed earlier this year to Global Underground’s GUMusic artist label, the band have been playing by the rules of electronic dance but trashing them as they go along: you can only get away with breaking the rules when you know them inside out, and they wrote the book. Ashley Casselle has been a respected international DJ since 1999 and is The Remote’s musical backbone: providing a lush electronic wash of breaks against a synthetic wall of so...
