FACE MELT HAS A NEW HOME! ON A NEW NIGHT! WEEKLY!

When talking about Hip-Hop or any of the countless genres it has influenced, it???s all about the beats. Even after a producer loops ???Amen Brother??? for the millionth time, it will always be about the beats. They???re the foundation of Hip-Hop, and the defining characteristic of any artist or genre claiming Hip-Hop as inspiration. And at FACE MELT, they???re the only thing that matters.

Resident DJs:
DJ INTEL

DJ Intel???s interest in turntablism began in the mid 90???s. He looked up to such Chicago legends as DJ PNS and Tone B Nimble and soon began the journey of perfecting his craft. Along with being a founding member of both The Comeups (alongside DJ Pickel and Galapagos4 and Now Again records recording artist Maker) and the DMC and ITF champion Platter Pirates (alongside Spryte, Kico, and Vajra), DJ Intel holds down several residencies throughout Chicago and has worked everything from charitable events to B boy battles to fashion shows, with crowds ranging from 15 to thousands. He has also performed at events with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Cypress Hill, Pete Rock, Afrika Bambaataa and Z- Trip as well as headlined major music events such as Lollapalooza and SXSW.

MAKER

Marco Jacobo (aka Maker) has spent the past 12 years honing his production talent, releasing a barrage of albums/45s/remixes, and spending a lion???s share of his non-studio time on the road. But despite all this, you may not have heard his name mentioned until recently. Emerging from the vital Chicago underground Hip-Hop community of the late 90s, his role as producer naturally kept him behind the scenes, tweaking levels and digging for ???breaks,??? yet fans quickly began to associate hard, organic drums and deftly chopped/arranged dusty samples with ???The Sound of Maker.???
