About Me

1984, Halloween night and the young boy is ready to put on his Go-Bots costume on, and escaping the McDonalds drive-in with a happy meal. A Blue Chevet carrying the happy four-year-old black male, and his father driving. "Hey Kurt, I have something you're gonna like." His father says with a hint in his voice that the cassette he is placing inside the deck is going to blow the four-year-old child's mind. I read the title of the album, "Are you Afraid of.." The track comes on with haunting samples, distortions, and melodies that are soft and manipulated. The song sounds like a garage with power tools creating music to the boy. His mind ventures through realms he's never viewed inside his mind. His heart races with excitement, and an energy never spoken before. He clenches harder to the empty cassette case. "The Art of Noise", as his father grins paying attention to the street going towards home. Kurtis Hairston was in no way, afraid of the art of noise. Instead he embraced it. Held tightly to it, and it became the basis behind his side of electronic music. And then, is how it began......KNOX's new video of the illest track by Mickey Factz feat. The Cool Kids. KRTS and Knox Harrington [Live at Monkey Town, 03/01/08]
