The Legacy Continues. Tony Touch A.K.A Tony Toca continues to be a
force to be reckoned with. Tony Touch, an icon in Hip Hop and in the
Urban Hispanic genre plus seasoned player in the game, is a true
innovator and has revolutionized the DJ game over and over. From his
legendary mix tapes, to his skills on the 1’s and 2’s, he has become one
of Hip Hop’s most recognized DJ’s. This C.E.O/Artist/Producer is now
currently working on his 7th commercial release titled “The Piece Maker
3…Return of the 50 MC’s” and is expected to make history once again.
Tony Touch began as a B-Boy during the rap music renaissance era
of the early 80’s. Heavily influenced by pioneers like the Rock Steady
Crew, Grandmaster Flash, Red Alert,”Little” Louie Vega, and Jam Master
Jay, he quickly shifted his interests towards the turntables. Toca is
known for his legendary mix tapes like the original 50 MC’s parts 1, 2
and 3. Included in this series are some of the hottest artist in the
game such as KRS ONE, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Wyklef, M.O.P, Big L,
Mos Def and many more all coming together for one collective piece. This
along with the countless other mix tapes, Tony became recognized in the
streets and industry as the real ‘Mix tape King’
Tony Toca
evolved his mix tapes to record releases. In 2000, Tony released “The
Piece Maker” on Tommy Boy records. This album sold over 400,000 units
worldwide and featured legendary artists like Big Pun, Cypress Hill, Wu
Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Gang Starr, and much more. The single
“I Wonder Why” featuring Total video featured cameos from John
Leguizamo, Rock Steady and more. Since then, Tony Touch has released the
“Piece Maker 2” which also had an all-star line up with features such
as P. Diddy, Fat Joe, Sean Paul, Snoop Dog and even the legendary Ruben
Blades.
Toca is also known to represent the Latino community to
the fullest. It is the result of growing up with Salsa at home and
Hip-Hop influence in his lifestyle. In 2005 Tony inked a deal with EMI
records and revolutionized the game once more with his Latin album
called “ReggaeTony”. The hit single, “Play that Song” featured Nina Sky
and B- Real of Cypress Hill . The cd had an all star line up including
Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Zion y Lennox, N.O.R.E, Voltio, and Soni just
to name a few. The album went GOLD and with that success, EMI records
moved quickly to release ReggaeTony 2 which featured more heavyweight
appearances.
Touch continues to be in demand globally. The
proof is in the passport as he has toured over 30 countries including
Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico, London, France, Greece, Russia, Brazil,
Germany, Columbia, Switzerland, Italy and Cuba. He’s also acted as tour
dj for acts like Cypress Hill, Gurus’s Jazzmatazz, Rock Steady and the
Beatnuts. You also may have caught Tony on TV shows such as “Saturday
Night Live” and “The Dave Chapelle Show” spinning for Eminem. Don’t
forget the radio waves you might have heard him on in New York such as
Hot 97, Power 105, and WBLS. In 2004, Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg
closed a deal for their own radio station on Sirius XM Satellite called
Shade 45. Tony Touch was quickly recruited to host TOCA TUESDAYS from
8pm to Midnight. TOCA TUESDAYS is also a weekly CLASSIC Hip Hop party
in which TT invites legendarty dj’s to guest spin.
Another
WEEKLY party he sparked was the FUNKBOX where he plays deep house music
with celeb guest dj’s. Both parties have been running over 4 years
strong…. For more info check www.tonytouch.com.

Peanut Butter Wolf:
As a young kid growing up in San Jose, Chris Manak soon realized he
needed an escape from the realities of suburbian life in the Silicon
Valley. The age of nine was his coming of age. This was the year he
discovered sports (Pittsburgh Pirates), video games (Pac man), girls
(Anita Balderama), and hip hop (“Rappers Delight”). Alongside partner
Sweet Steve, young Chris fashioned primitive mix-tapes (using the pause
button) and ran amok at the local roller rink.
He took on the
name Peanut Butter Wolf in the late-80s when he realized that, in an odd
turn of events, a girlfriend’s youngest brother feared the “peanut
butter wolf monster” more than death itself. Wolf and his more
conventionally-named counterpart, Charizma, began recording in 1989 when
the two were still teenagers. Within three years, the duo signed a
contract with Hollywood Basic (Disney) alongside label mates Organized
Konfusion and DJ Shadow. Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf were riding
high, touring Europe, receiving press in magazines such as Billboard and
(a then newspaper format) Urb, hanging with radio legends Sway &
King Tech on Wake Up Show and performing live shows with groups like
House of Pain, Nas and The Pharcyde. Then, in December of 1993, Charizma
tragically lost his life. Stunned, Wolf temporarily gave up on music.
After releasing the song “Just Like A Test” with Charizma for David
Paul’s Bomb Hip Hop Compilation early in 1994, Upstairs Records, a label
known primarily for house music, approached Wolf to record an
instrumental LP. Thus, the Peanut Butter Breaks was born; the record
became the Wolf’s calling card, leading to meetings and collaborations
with like-minded DJs like Q-bert, Cut Chemist and Rob Swift.
After the release of Peanut Butter Breaks, PB Wolf found himself in
demand as a producer. His track for the all-scratching compilation
Return of the DJ was labeled “incredible” by The Source magazine. He
released a 6 song compilation for South Paw Records in 1995, featuring
collaborations with up and coming San Jose MCs. He also produced Kool
Keith’s first single as a solo artist “Wanna Be A Star.” These releases,
amongst others, led to a picture disc EP for British label 2 Kool
Records.
In 1996, Peanut Butter Wolf founded Stones Throw
Records. Charizma’s posthumous “My World Premiere” was the single to
launch the label. A few highlights in the beginning were the songs
“Unassisted” by Rasco, Super Duck Breaks LP by DJ Babu, and hip hop 7”
series.
Lately, PB Wolf has moved away from producing (save the
odd remix or compilation track) to build the Stones Throw label and to
travel as a DJ to Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada, and across the US.
Through his willingness to experiment and provide Stones Throw’s artists
with musical carte blanche, he has overseen the releases of Lootpack’s
Soundpieces, Quasimoto’s The Unseen, Breakestra’s Live Mix, Yesterdays
New Quintet’s Angles Without Edges, Madlib’s Shades of Blue, and
Jaylib’s Champion Sound.
