The A.S. Council will soon present the second night in its series of shows for Club Ritmo, which will feature the talented turntablists the X-Ecutioners.

The X-Ecutioners, the New York-based quartet of DJs, are nationally and internationally renowned for their remarkable turntable stylings. Formed in 1989, the group is comprised of four members: Rob Swift, Roc Raida, Total Eclipse and Mista Sinista.

Formerly known as the X-Men, the DJ crew prides itself on its ability to create tracks entirely by hand, as opposed to using samplers and sequencing machines. The X-Ecutioners have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of DJing, which they describe as “”mixing, scratching, body tricks and beat-juggling.””

The crew pioneered beat-juggling, described by Swift as “”manipulating a kick snare and high hat off a record and reorganizing the sounds to create a totally different composition the same way one would do with a sampling or sequencing machine.””

The X-Ecutioners are among the first all-DJ outfits ever to sign a recording contract. This amazingly gifted foursome can be heard on their new album, “”Built From Scratch,”” to be available in late February.

The club targets the 18-and-over crowd and is open to the general public, so if you’re looking for some slamming beats and all-around cool DJing, then stop by Porter’s Pub to see the renowned turntable masters, the X-Ecutioners.
