Rusty Redenbacher “Iron Man Monster Factory”
In Rusty Redenbacher’s two decade plus run of the Indy music scene he has successfully captured the hearts of a progressive arts community on the verge of national super stardom. His multiple releases with rock collectives Birdmen of Alcatraz and Lazarus, hip-hop groups The Mudkids and Tornado Alley and more have shown the local, regional, and national music scene the extreme versatility and dexterity it takes to be embraced by not only his peers but music lovers of all shapes, sizes, and cross-genre backgrounds.
While Rusty has performed alongside legends including the Wu-Tang Clan, The Roots, Dead Prez, Blackalicious, Atmosphere, and more, one thing is for certain, legions of Hip-Hop, Rock, Funk, Reggae, and Dubstep fans alike are ready to embrace his latest release “The Tinkerer,” which will be released on 1-31-2012 via Daddy Real Entertainment.
Deeply rooted in the classic horror culture of yesteryear, “The Tinkerer” and its 18-tracks takes the listener on a journey through the laboratory of sound and spirit known as the Iron Man Monster Factory as front man Rusty Redenbacher aka The Tinkerer utilizes a unique blend of hip-hop turntabilism and intricate cross-genre instrumentation in creating the productions behind every track featured on the album.
The lead single and video “Iron Man Monster Factory” sees Redenbacher laying a heavy set of bars over the pounding thud and crack from a loop of a Nirvana song.

DJ Hurricane of Beastie Boys Says Rock Hall Is Neglecting the DJ by jakecrates
(AllHipHop News) While the Beastie Boys will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, their long-time DJ feels that the Rock Hall of Fame is overlooking his role in the group’s success.
DJ Hurricane says the Rock Hall is snubbing DJ’s and hype men like himself and Flavor Flav, by not giving them their due recognition.
The DJ wants to bring to light the importance of supporting artists and their role in the success of their respective groups.
Despite the importance of the DJ and the hype man in a rapper’s live show and in the creation of music, many hip-hop fans often overlook their critical contributions.
According to DJ Hurricane, similar instances include DJ’s like DJ Spinderella (of Salt n’ Pepa) and Eric B (of Eric B and Rakim) and hype man Flavor Flav (of Public Enemy).
“That’s how it was back then. When you look at Jam Master Jay and Run DMC- Jay wasn’t under contract on the first 2 albums,” DJ Hurricane explained to AllHipHop.com in a statement.
According to Hurricane, in 1986 when the Beastie Boys were just gaining notoriety, they lost their original DJ amidst the Rasing Hell Tour, that featured Run D.M.C., LL Cool J and Whoodini.
The Beastie Boys went to Russell Simmons for help in finding a DJ, who in turn asked the late Jam Master Jay, who recommended DJ Hurricane.
Despite the “white rapper” stigma that DJ Hurricane says the Beastie Boys carried, DJ Hurricane went on to complete the rest of the tour and eventually became their permanent DJ.
DJ Hurricane would go on to tour with The Beastie Boys for the next 13 years, until 1999 when they officially parted ways.
Hurricane asserts that he wasn’t just a DJ for the Beastie Boys, but a more integral member, who received songwriting credit for the hit single, “Sure Shot.”
In a 1999 interview with The Beastie Boys, Adam “Ad Rock” Horovitz acknowledged Hurricane’s role in creating the “Sure Shot” track.
“We woke him up maybe around two a.m. And from bed he came up with the chorus and did it over the phone,” Ad Rock said.
“Ten months out of the year- I was on the road,” recalled DJ Hurricane. “And when you pull up the archive- I’m there. All I want is recognition, not money. A trophy would be correct; like a team that wins a Super Bowl; everyone gets a ring.”

Super Bowl Parties Will Heat Up Indy Nightlife
Sure, the actual Super Bowl is a big deal. But let's be honest: The action on the field is rarely as hot as the parties leading up to the big game. The big event in Indianapolis will be no exception. More than 150,000 visitors are expected, and only about half of them will attend the game itself. A couple of first-time parties could attract even more star power than usual, meaning 2012 Super Bowl party tickets will be a hot commodity in a town not traditionally known for its nightlife.
