After a hiatus of 17 years, X-Ecutioners alumni DJ Rob Swift (former DJ for Akinyele) and Mista Sinista (former DJ for Common) reunite as DA ODD COUPLE. DJ Rob Swift knows all about evolution and its conceptual cousin, revolutionwhether its the spontaneous kind that sparks radical change, or the vinyl-based kind that occurs at 33-1/3 revolutions per minute (and variations thereof). And for a cat like Swiftwho has worked with everyone from Linkin Park to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Mike Patton to Herbie Hancocktruly forward-thinking, revolutionary music just seems to come naturally, and on some occasions, at a cost. DJs must adapt, and in this high speed information era, that means expanding your scope of vision from beyond your instrument to new expressive vehicles by any means necessary.Mista Sinista officially started DJing in 1986 and joined the X-Men in 1992. They later became the X-ecutioners and released two albums. Mista Sinista toured the world several times with the X-ecutioners and was a tour DJ for Common, Beatnuts, Joe Fatal and Lauryn Hill just to name a few. Some of his album credits include The Beatnuts Street Level LP and Commons Resurrection LP. His work was also highlighted on Fat Joes sophomore release, Jealous Ones Envy. He continues to perform worldwide and is featured on The Rewind with DJ Safire which airs weekly on Beatminerz Radio. Mista Sinistas debut LP is a mix of well-produced tracks along with live turntablism. The project features emcees Mr. VooDoo, Ill Bill, Vinnie Paz, The One Chadio, U.G. & The former MC Jean Grae to name a few. This album also features Rugged One, Q-Bert, The Cut Lieutenant, Ace & Rob Swift.
