The X-Ecutioners

A much-respected DJ crew far before "turntablism" became a catch phrase, the X-ecutioners (formerly X-Men) spent years developing their otherworldly deck-dicing skills. On their first LP, the New York squad unleash a barrage of vinyl trickery, crafting searing soundtracks certain to make even the most jaded head take notice. Awe-inspiring while still very listenable.
