K-N-S
Dee Jay K-N-S is not your ordinary DJ, he is a turntablist. A turntablist is one who can manipulate sounds with vinyl. Mastering the art of the scratch, with just using his bare hands. K-N-S is a 2-in-1 man. He can scratch with the best of them and can also finesse a beat. The MPC2000 and various beat making equipment are his tools of the trade.K-N-S is not a new jack to the game (DJing since '93). His resume is quite impressive. He has hosted a plethora of events, is FCC licensed, been on many radio shows, put out numerous mixtapes, flew to other countries to showcase his talent, produces, engineers sound, is an entrepreneur, and has hosted one of the first underground hip hop shows in South Florida. He has also opened up for Busta Rhymes, Smooth the Hustler, The Fugees, Phife Dogg, Consequence, Fat Joe, Suga, Al Tariq, DJ Honda, Da Bush Babies, Mad Lion, Run DMC, Mos Def, Goodie Mob, Youngbloodz, Afu-Ra, Chuck D, Big Pun, Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Pharaoh Monch, Jean Grae, Nelly, The St. Lunatics, and The Roots.
His production is not something to sleep on. If you were to sum up his style, you would say: Pete Rock mixed with Premier, add a dash of Jay Dee and a pinch of Hi-Tek. K-N-S's melodic beats are a guaranteed head-nodder. When it comes to music, he is a chef. Always splicing, chopping, tweaking, and testing to create the perfect beat. You can obviously tell by listening to his musical concoctions that K-N-S has a good ear for quality music. K-N-S is also the founder of Diwrek Hit Entertainment; he is the backbone of the company. He and the staff are dedicated in preserving the true essence of the music. 'Music for the people, Music for the love, and Music for the soul.' You can also find him spinning weekly at his "Sunday School" event and numerous other spots in South Florida.
For more info about what DJ K-N-S is up to, check out www.diwrekhit.com & www.myspace.com/diwrekhit. K-N-S uses a TTM-54, TTM-56 and Serato Scratch Live.
"Serato Scratch LIVE is the next best thing since the internet! Ever since I incorporated this technology into my gigs my workload has doubled. Now I can take gigs that I could never take before, simply because I didn't have that particular genre of music in my record collection. The possibilities are endless. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!"
