Who are the archivists?
Thesaurus Rex/ BoomBaptist
Born in Miami and bred in the Southwest, Thesaurus Rex's complex lyrical rhythms provide the ideal back drop for his provacative, satirical, and often just plain dirty punchlines. As the BoomBaptist, he is one of the Southwest best up and coming producers, ever-developing the broken beat, the break beat, and everything else he can get his hands on...
TenfoldAlways looking to incorporate live instrumentation with Hard, Hip Hop beats, Tenfold has worked with a number of talented DJs, producers, and musicians in New Mexico and Oregon. These days Tenfold continues to pursue making original, pleasing sounds in Austin, TX with Joel Johnson and various members of the Archivists while developing Archivist Records and Publishing...
Limn
Limn currently resides in Albuquerque, NM, a mere hour from Santa Fe (Origin of the Archivists) and a mere planet from his birthplace of Chicago. His aggressive mixing of multiple genre's into a steady, up-beat dance music has developed quite a report in the Southwest and his production provides a steady backbone for much of the Archivists collective works...
DJ Kismet
One of the Archivists' two DJ's who has been studying turntablism for over a decade, DJ Kismet brings an ear for classic, quality Hip Hop and a wrist like Doc Holiday. Now Focusing partially on production and composition, Kismet has fine-tuned his skills to the point where he can mix, create battle sets, or simply carve up a chorus...
KeanOne
On the left we have KeanOne, on the right is a man who has been archived again and again and again... Based in the 505, Kean's sample-based beats provide a backbone for many new Archivists' jams. Often working with counterpart See $ out of his lab in Santa, Kean's lyrics are blunt and to the point. These days, Kean is striving to conquer the 3rd element of turntablism and mixing...
ZuseOne
A Santa Fe native, Zuse has left the land of enchantment for the center of the lone-star state (neither pictured above). His presence on the mic is deserving of the biggest state in the continental US. In rapping over some of the hottest joints to come out of Archivist labs from Dub-step jams to break-beats, Zuse has proven to be an aw-inspiring master of ceremony.
Wish
Currently our only representative in Hawaii, though many of us hope to change that soon-one way or the other, Wish offers turntablism and production of an intriguing blend, often working with live drummers, other DJ's, and providing his own instrumentation at clubs and on tracks...
See $
Arguably the best producer in New Mexico, See $ has made his mark both in sample based Hip Hop beats and in the sample free world. Ever inspired by his peers and by those that paved the way before him, Mr $ provides a remarkably clean sound to which any emcee can't help but kick a freestyle...
DJ Celsius
Who's that on the Cuts???
Celsius. Precision, precision, precision is the name of the game for this extremely talented scratch DJ and up-and-coming producer. They don't make 'em like this anymore: this man can create more with one deck, a mixer, and a loop pedal than Leonard Bernstein could trapped in Quincy Jones' recording studio...
