EMSKEE's turntable mastery and virtuoso rhyming skills have made him an institution in the New York underground for the last decade. However, the rest of the world is also becoming aware of his unique talent. His limited-edition single Let It Go, (produced by Monk-One and released under the name "The Together Brothers" by ten12 records); sold out in New York, Tokyo, Munich and London and was dubbed an instant classic by the international press. His UK Tour in August 2005, hosted by The Juvenile Delinquents of Woolacombe and Friends & Family/The Fat City Crew in Manchester left behind throngs of zealous new converts jonesing for more of his "original New York" hip-hop style. In October 2005, Emskee was a guest DJ at the Club Cult in Moscow, and in 2006, he will showcase his turntable finesse in Amsterdam, Tokyo, and London.
MONK-ONE has gained a worldwide reputation as a true music lover who simultaneously contains the skill to rock parties, throw down rare and never heard vinyl wonders and craft ridiculous chronicles of musical genres in the form of a mix CD that only a true connoisseur can do. He has blazed a trail in legendary clubs from Japan to the UK, going toe to toe with such heavyweights as Madlib, the 45 King, DJ Red Alert, Danny Krivit and Mark Rae to name a few. He maintains resident DJ status on New York's longest running Hip Hop radio show, The Underground Railroad (WBAI), is the "Ambassador" and editor of the well respected journal Wax Poetics, and has released an original 7" and EP on Ten12 Records.
