Rob Swift WarGames CD Release Tour

East Coast Dates Available from September 22 thru Sept. 30

Hailed by Spin Magazine as one of the Top Turntablists in the World - next only to DJ Q-Bert and Mix Master Mike - Spin goes on to describe Rob Swift as “the most self-consciously musical of his peers, meticulously arranging his scratches and stuttering beats.” Moreover, his successful solo career is only accentuated by his previous membership in the legendary DJ/music group the X-ecutioners, which has garnered him recognition and tours throughout the world.



Rolling Stone nominated Rob Swift’s group the X-ecutioners as one of the top 50 Players in Hip-Hop alongside the likes of Jay-Z, Master P and Lauryn Hill. Rolling Stone goes on to describe the X-ecutioners as “some of the best turntablists on the planet…wowing crowds and elevating the art of DJ’ing with unbelievable displays of technical skill and acrobatics, making the Technic 1200 the musical instrument of the future.” As a member of the X-ecutioners he has broken ground for DJs and turntablists worldwide in one of the most influential turntable bands in the world. Rob has recorded full length LPs for major labels (Loud, Columbia), worked with multi-platinum bands like Linkin Park, made appearances on MTV, The David Letterman Show, and Last Call w/Carson Daly. Rob has recorded 2 solo albums, the Ablist and Sound Event, and has also collaborated with artists Herbie Hancock and Bob James on other projects.



Rob's latest album, "War Games”, is his 3rd solo album and he will be touring North America, Australia, Asia and Europe in support of it. With his new creative freedom since leaving the X-ecutioners, his aim is to make a social statement - a totally new concept in turntable music.
