FAUST PRESS QUOTES :
“In Faust’s hands, turntablism is as breakneck virtuosic as bebop, as bereft of melody as
modern classical– but way to committed to putting the boogie in your butt for the curatorial
staff to start sniffin’ around.”
SPIN MAGAZINE
“Faust, able to adapt turntables as a musical instrument, creates a dimension of sound and
imagination that teleports the listener into a surreal world of music.”
MUZIK MAGAZINE
“Faust puts old-school hip-hop through a Technics blender for an accelerated history lesson
that’s too damn funky for your room.”
ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“Faust’s scratches, juggles, and even skipping records coalesce into one giant itchy symphony
withmovement after movement of next-level skills taking the listener on an aural voyage through
Faust’s ill psyche.”
VICE MAGAZINE
SHORTEE PRESS QUOTES :
"The ultra-versatile DJ Shortee has become queen of the scratch world. She has become an
unquestioned paragon in her field.”
DJ TIMES
"DJ Shortee is the world’s premier female DJ !!”
GRAMMY FOUNDATION
“DJ Shortee is the 1 female scratch DJ in the world!”
LIQUID LIFESTYLE
SHORTEE IS ONE OF URB’S NEXT 100 (2001): “Within the ever crowding DJ/Producer genre,
Shortee's versatility & musical prowess stands out. With her compelling musicianship…she has
created a turntable style all her own…& has grown from obscurity to acclaim”
URB MAGAZINE
FAUST & SHORTEE TEAM PRESS QUOTES :"Faust & Shortee's seamless 4 turntable mix is earning them a growing international impression."
SPIN MAGAZINE
”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
These two magnificent turntablist albums from DJ Faust & Shortee blur the line between the real
& the sublime, the concrete & the abstract, hip hop & EVERYTHING! Succeeding where others
failed,these albums give their respected DJs the breadth and depth to take you deep inside the
turns & twists of their own minds”
URB MAGAZINE
"Pigeonholing turntablist husband & wife team Faust & Shortee into a single genre of Djing is
shortsighted at best, narrow-minded at worst. Running the full gamut of music ranging from their
base in underground hip-hop (which has led to world-wide praise and a spot in Doug Pray's
acclaimed 2002 DJ documentary "Scratch"), to delvings into hard Chicago House, dabblings
in rare groove, and finally into full on Drum & Bass pressure, the versatility shines one mixed CDs
like Shortee's "Casa de Playboy" Latin House mix, and the drum & bass-laden "Urban Assault"."
RINSE MAGAZINE"They are what they appear to be: Two of the hardest working multi-faceted DJ/Producers in the
country."
