Brent Tactic

Brent Tactic has been running game in Kansas for a minute. After dominating the scene with his production partner for the mid part of the decade, Brent has been holding it down solo in the barbeque city torching dancefloors with any and every genre. More recently you could say that Brent is the go to guy to bring that added flavor to any party. His work with KC legend DJ SKU led to the inception of the most popular Hip-hop party in KC, YEAHHH BUDDY!!! Consisting of a themed night based around famous hip hop labels, producers, and MCs Brent has schooled the masses in the ways of The Dungen Family, Death Row, dancehall, and more. He also hosts Pop Rocks(90’s) with Lords of Tokyo great Bobby Keys and Risky Disco with KC don Bill Pile.

As a production due Brent and Ben Fuller joined forces as Tactic in 2002 after building successful careers individually in the Kansas scene. Tactic found common ground in bleeding a broad cross section of club culture. Their 4 turntable dj sets blurred the line between hip-hop, electronic, and club music to getting everyone’s ass shaking. Comfortable with any crowd that is ready to get down, Tactic has performed alongside everyone from Diplo and Spank Rock to Presfuse 73. Tactic has proven just as productive in the studio as they are in the club. Their remixes, re-edits, and blends have garnered international attention with plays on NYC’s East Village Radio and London’s prestigious KISS FM as well as getting rotation in the dj sets of Diplo, Tittsworth, Flosstradamus, and Eli Escobar. Their remix of Blaqstarr’s Superstar was released on Diplo’s Mad Decent label and has become a staple in the crates of many great djs including Nick Catchdubs. Recently they have been featured as remixers on EPs by Udachi and DZ.

If raising a daughter and holding down a 9 to 5 isn’t enough, Brent also runs a label called Think2wice (with ben too, who now lives in Portland). With seven releasesdone Think2wice has pulled remixes from Salva, Dan Daneeka, Ghosts on Tape, B. Rich, and Dubbel Dutch as well as featured artist Norrit. Look out for upcoming EPs from Potions and B-Stee.
