DJ PREMIER | | GANG STARR

We have a very special edition of The Foundation this Saturday at SOM. We’re celebrating the birthday of our very own, DJ Mr. E. Not only is Mr. E a highly celebrated DJ in the Bay are, but he’s also the co-owner of the Bay Area landmark restaurant, Papalote. Mr. E has not only shared his musical talents with the Bay, but he is also a friend of the community and great supporter of positive change and growth in the community. He constantly donates his time and food to help others.

With that said, we invite all of you to come help celebrate his special day. It’s time we give some love back! We also have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST: DJ PREMIER of Gang Starr, that will be playing at his birthday. He hails from New York City and is a living legend behind the turntables as well as one of the best producers in Hip Hop. Trust, you won’t want to miss this event.

Happy Birthday Mr. E aka Miguel Escobedo. We appreciate you and what you continually do for the Bay Area.

Remember, experience is everything.

+DJ PREMIER+

DJ PREMIER (also known as Preem, Premo, or Primo for short), is an American record producer and DJ, and was the instrumental half of the hip hop duo Gang Starr, together with emcee Guru. Born in Houston and raised in Prairie View, Texas, he has lived in Brooklyn, New York, for much of his professional career. Rolling Stone identified Premier as arguably Hip-Hop’s greatest producer of all time.

The Source named DJ Premier one of the five greatest producers in hip-hop history, while the editors of About.com ranked him #1 on their Top 50 Hip-Hop Producers list. He also made the “Elite 8” in the search for The Greatest Hip-Hop Producer of All Time by Vibe.

MIGHTY, in association with Reignforest Collective & GetliveSF, present

YOUNG GURU – Jay-Z’s official Tour DJ

w/ special guest

DJ SHORTKUT (Beat Junkies | Triple Threat DJs | Invisible)

Opening set from Cedication.Crimes (Reignforest Collective)

OPEN BAR FOR THE FIRST HOUR

Revered as “The Sound of New York,” Gimel Keaton, better known as Young Guru possesses over a decade of experience in sound engineering, production, and A&R for the acclaimed Rock-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings. As a Grammy Award winner for best rap song “Empire State of Mind” (2009), Young Guru has worked alongside legendary artists Jay-Z and Kanye West. Most notably recognized for shaping some of the biggest talent in Hip Hop, Young Guru has mixed 10 of Jay-Z’s 11 albums, appeared in his documentary NY-Z, and has earned himself a number of shout- outs on Jay-Z’s tracks paying homage to Guru’s exceptional skill set behind the scenes.

Young Guru’s latest break-through has been his recent appointment as Jay-Z’s official tour DJ. An endeavor well suited for the Guru considering his impeccable knowledge of Jay-Z’s discography, not to mention their longstanding professional and personal relationship dating back to 1999 after Jay-Z recruited the young engineer to mix at his Baseline Studios. A beast on the beats, DJing is just another notch in the Guru’s belt as he’s been throwing parties in his Delaware hometown since 1985 and even toured as DJ for Nonchalant back in 1996. Spanning across many diverse genres including early Hip hop, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Electro, House and Soul, Guru’s high energy DJ sets are aimed to keep Hip hop represented in the live performances through beat mixing, matching and scratching.

Pete Rock has collaborated with a slew of Hip Hop’s elite including Nas, Slum Village, A Tribe Called Quest, Slick Rick, Talib Kweli and Run DMC, and the list goes on and on.
