So.......my name's Stats and if you can't tell from my page then I'm proud to say I'm from the city of Sheffield ( steel city, new yorkshire, dirty south yorkshire, whatever you wanna call it. ) I'm the co-owner/director/shareholder of Shot Dem Records (S.D.R.) I'm also a producer, graphic designer/artist and all round general baddaman when it comes to puttin work in. Shot dem records started in april 2006 ( you can check out our myspace for more info OR you can go to our official website WWW.SHOTDEMRECORDS.COM for downloads, news, video footage and whatever else maybe on there at the time ). Our first signing was All Out Krew ( A.O.K. their myspace is in my friends list so go check them out ) who at the time had been about for around 3 years with a small but loyal fanbase ( myself included as most of us on the label grew up around the same endz ), the talent was there so we felt we could give them that extra push and motivation to succeed. With all ready a few tunes put out by themselves we wanted to bring them onto a larger stage with a larger audience. So from day one we started to put in work, and within a few short months the website was launched along with our first official release THE SHEFF'S SPECIAL VOL.1 (available now as a free download on our website) which we gave away well over a thousand copys for free. The aim behind the mixtape was to promote the artists and crews that Sheffield had to offer, one of these being Beat Bandits who had previously released a mixtape themselves ( bandit territory ), who we felt also had huge talent and signed them there and then. So...with better feedback than we could have ever expected from the vol1, we began planning the next release. In between this ofers of work/PA's began to come rollin in. These events included festivals such as the Huddersfield carnival, the annual Sharrow fest, numerace slots on radio ( allout being radio veterans having been featured on BBC 1XTRA, as well as being featured in RWD mag along with S.M.G. and J.D. ), live P.A.'S in clubs in and around south yorkshire including the "LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM" wich was a huge success. We also host our own nights like the under 18's night WORD ON ROAD, DUB ESSENTIALS and the most recent event ALLOUT'S 4th BIRTHDAY BASH, which again have all been a success. So that was 2006 and this brings us to the present day, and with THE SHEFF'S SPECIAL VOL.2 ( which you can purchase for just £5 from our official website ) about to be released, along with Beat Bandits first mixtape on shot dem records, OUT IN THE STIX VOL.1 on the verge of release, 2007 is already looking a healthy year for quality music. Also look out for the Allout album coming soon, aswell as the S.D.R. DVD. So........ ( lol ) abit about me. I live on a council estate in Sheffield. In all honesty i wouldn't want to live anywhere else because the people who live in council estate's are the most real people you will find ( some are still cunts though but still, you find that every where lol ). I've been producing for about 2/3 years now. I use logic to make my beats after doing a short course on the basics of setting up logic ( every thing else is self taught which you may be able to tell from the tunes on my page lol ) which I did at Red Tape Studios. My tunes are NOT as of yet featured on any of our mixtapes so do not think that the tunes on my page represent wot our label is about. My tunes are representations of me and the music which has influenced me through out my life, MUSIC IS MY LIFE. It's the one thing that keeps me sane and focused ( aswell as my new born son, the new source of insperation in my life so hold tight him brap brap brap!!!). But my production seems to have taken a back seat to the other love in my life, art and design, which now due to the myspace thing seems to be taking up all my time. All though at the start of this I said I'm a graphic designer, I have never been on a course to learn any of the skills I've got. I AM 100% SELF TAUGHT!!!! I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Illustrater CS2 and sometimes coral draw which I "bought legally" ( from the internet lol ). So I don't claim to be a master of my craft I'm just still learning. I've created all the logo's for the label, all the artwork for the mixtapes, posters for all our nights as well as posters for other people's nights, aswell as every thing you see on my page ( aswell as other peoples myspace's ). Hold tight them man that keep stealing shit I put on my page. ( and I'm not even on about peole I know, there's bare people's pages I've seen with my artwork on who havn't even got the decency to ask, wastemen!!!! ). So anyway enough about me, hold tight them that know me, if you see me about ( cause I am about ) feel free to say hello. Thank you for takin the time to read this, feel free to visit my page whenever you want, leave a comment/feedback wether it be good or bad ( all feedback is welcome ). Safe. Stats.I wanna big up all my Shot Dem family, big up All Out, Beat Bandits, X-e-dus , Me Me and Remz. Hold tight every one in sHeFf who's workin hard to get somewhere, check out my top friends list to see some of the people who I feel are workin hard to achieve goals. Thank you.
