WAX PRESENTS...ROB SWIFT (X-ECUTIONERS)
21ST OCTOBER 2005 @
KEF
Wax presents...
ROB SWIFT (X-ECUTIONERS)
The War Games Tour
Initially a super-crew featuring the likes of DJ Babu, Melo-D, Shortkut, Cutmaster Swift and DJ Pogo, the X-Ecutioners were born from the East Coast collective, the X-Men. World renowned beat-jugglers and rivals of the innovative Invisibl Skratch Piklz, the X-Men consisted of Rob Swift, Roc Raida, Mista Sinista and Total Eclipse, although only Roc Raida is the only truly original member.
As time and distance prevented the super, dual-coast crew from forming, the X-Men members took the X-Ecutioner name for themselves and became the first turntable orchestra.
They signed to Loud Records and became label-mates with the Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. From 1997 to 2004, they released four albums to critical acclaim, including the excellent “Built From Scratch” (2002) and “Scratchology” (2003). Although Rob released solo projects whilst with the X-Ecutioners, he decided in 2004 that a clean break was required.
“War Games” is Rob’s third album and features esteemed guests such as Large Professor, DJ Quest and Akinyele.
Following on from DJ Q-Bert, Wax is proud to host another pioneer of turntablism and DMC title holder; Rob Swift.
