FileJerks: Big Bang Theory by Trent Moorman

Last week, we were lucky enough to receive an email from Trent about doing this interview for The Stranger. We were given a handful of questions and a green light on answering however we wanted. Here's how it turned out.....

"FileJerks are the DJ tandem of Marlon Lumba (Astronomar) and Scott MacKinnon (Shorthand). They are mix-making fiends who feast on low-ended party jams. They form and re-form four-on-the-floor, club-beat knockers. FileJerks' specialty is..."

We gave The Stranger an exclusive taste of our remix of MASHHALL's "Get Your Ass To Mars". Here it is on The Stranger's LineOut.

Better Friends mix Volume 1

There's a little collective here in Seattle known as the Better Collective made up of a handful of local artists, musicians, and photographers. They asked me to do a mixtape for them and this is what came out. Check out their blog for more Seattle goodness.

The man himself, JCW. Maxin' in the lab with hair like whoa.



Currently working on the 'Crack To The Future' mixtape with JCW from Anchorage, AK. Born under the name James Chase Wilcox, all I can say is it's a pleasure doing business with this guy. Beats are nothing but feel good jams. Album art coming soon! Stay tuned for the release right here on the FileJerks blog!

I'm still an animal

this is a brilliant track



heres the original

DrunkUnkle vs. Stevie Wonder

This track has been a favorite of mine lately. Download and play this as much as possible. After all, it's a pretty good summertime jammer for those that enjoy lighthearted bmore goodness. What more do I really need to say, just listen and love it.

Turned On Vol. 1 compiled by DJ Neoteric

This compilation is already at the top of our list for 2010 and chances are good it'll stay there for awhile. Here's a teaser, but i highly recommend going to BEATPORT and buying the compilation in its entirety. Full of massive tunes, it'd be a shame to not have this on your daily listening regimen. That is all.

TACTIC

I felt compelled to post about this dude Ben Tactic after witnessing him destroy his set at the Shameless social at Electric Tea Garden last night. Still finding out more about this dude, but here's a minimix to get you going. it is fire! Not to mention the other few tracks I've found so far. I'd say he represented Portland in a big way last night. Don't be surprised to see Ben Tactic back in Seattle sooner than later!

No Good Trips - JCW x SHORTHAND

A couple months ago our homie JCW came to me with some beats and asked if I could throw together a mixtape for him. I accepted the project without hesitation, this fools beats are ridiculous. Don't get it twisted, this collection isn't filled with hard slaps to raddle yo' trunk or slap yo' bitch up to.... but rather, perfect for a swisher on a sunny day kind of vibe. I can't say much else, besides that you should put somethin' in the air, throw this on the stereo, and max out to some feel-good beats courtesy of JCW. All mixes and scratches by ya boy (shorthand) ENJOY!


the first link is one track, the second is the zip file of the individual tracks...choose up!

Dj NEOTERIC in SEATTLE March 13 & 14!!!

March 13 at Chapel flyer coming soon!



Neoteric is a fucking beast.... I repeat.. A BEAST!
This admirable Canadian has been murdering the club music scene for a minute now.
He is the A&R for Switch's highly praised label, Dubsided; responsible for bringing out artists like Jesse Rose, Herve, Sinden, Harvard Bass, Sticky K, Nadastrom and many, many more genre redefining artists.



Neoteric will be joining FileJerks, Sam Demoe, Darwin at Chapel March 13th, and then March 14at The Red Eye at Moe Bar. BE SURE not to miss these nights!! Neo is famous for curating amazing music long before its release, so come catch a glimpse of the future hotness!

ALSO joining us both nights will be Vancouver's own Sam Demoe of Jumpstreet DJs!

VERY EXCITED about both nights!!!!
Hope to see you out!

Alaska's Great White Hope....... JCW

since the tender age of 17 this kid has been making B-More bangers and tasty 808 laden beats that have bumped their way into many of my playlists and live sets. My personal favorite and a standout in his current catalog is Ask Paul, a cleverly hooked up lil b-morsel that samples Pimp-C and a Beatles tune. Last year he asked me to compile a mixtape of his beats; I started and somewhere along the way the session file got corrupted. Due to recording limitations I never got around to finishing the mix, but recent events have put Shorthand in command of the project, which should be done very soon.

Until then enjoy this zip JCW sent me of him newest jams!
