Here at SFC, we try to support local talent as much as possible because life is hard for struggling artists, and we appreciate that. So, we go to the shows, take photos at the house parties, and after long enough, we start to think of a few of the local DJ’s as basically part of the Family. Casey Darren Childs, known to the world as DJ Queso, or Queso Kills, is one of those friend of family types, who has recently scored himself a spot in this years “2010 Red …

For new listeners, what does your music sound like or relate too?
Depends of the moment.. Now, I’d say electro folk.. Yes. But if you see me djing, you’d say electro.
You play a very wide musical variety when you perform, whats your favorite kind of playlist?
A surprising one. I’d get bored to play only known bangers.. That’s why I hate most of the dj sets I hear…
What lies in the future for The Toxic Avenger? (Promo-time)
LP LP LP LP. I’ll really start working on it super early ‘10… And …

A few months ago I got invited to tag along to a Matisyahu concert. Now, I like Matisyahu, I do, I’d heard of him for a few years, but he was never really one of those artists that I had always WANTED to see. But I went, because it was something to do, and because, well, I wanted to hear King Without A Crown. It wasn’t until later that I was told that Les Claypool would also be performing at that show, and that there would also be a little …

France seems to produce some of SFC’s favorite deejays. First we had the Valerie crew (Russ Chimes, Anoraak, etc), Institubes (Surkin, Para One, etc), French-house god Fred Falke, then The Toxic Avenger, and last, but not least, Stereoheroes. One of the hottest things since French bread, Stereoheroes blew onto the scene late last year with the release of their hit “Fin Fang Foom” and have not left it since. Touring extensively, the duo has hit up some of the biggest international music festivals, played with some of the biggest names …

Here at SFC, we believe that the formation of a close bond between the people we work with leads to efficiency and satisfaction in the workplace. So every so often, the Smile for Camera crew enjoys going out in a big group; a family outing, of sorts. Of Course, we at SFC are no normal family, and so suffice it to say, we require social events of a different caliber when it comes to family fun time.
So, a couple of months ago, the SFC family decided to bond outside of …

Recently I treked up to Louisville to shoot and met a bunch of crazy kids who love to party, run from the cops, and most importantly, support each other. The backbone of the Louisville scene was held up more by the resident dj’s and the ones who visit regularly from surrounding areas rather than the kids who come out to support. Inevitably, in the end, the strongest always will survive and no matter how thick and thin Louisville might be, blood always runs thicker. So here is one of the …

Andrew Spear is a large character in almost every sense of the word. He is taller most people I know, and his booming voice can be heard over speaker systems and across cities. He has an exceptionally large head, which undoubtedly houses a large brain and an equally grand personality. It’s no wonder then that Andrew’s most recent project is a mural that spans over 65 feet by 188 feet on the side of an entire building in the heart of downtown Orlando. Completed in just less than two weeks, …

After hearing FIGURE’s single “Walrus” I was hooked immediately. Like a swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, as soon as I thought I had something great, my head jerked around and I was in for the ride of my life. With heavy basslines and continuous fist/fin pumping, (this can’t really be happening action) I knew right then I had to figure FIGURE. The young Indiana gentlemen explains it all. From his residencies to his love for Kelly Kapowski. If Louisville, Kentucky can have a great electro scene, why the hell can’t …
