So Overthrow got a quadruple feature in 944 Magazine’s annual nightlife issue. This issue documents the most important people across the country when it comes to making your evenings exciting, intoxicating, and devoid of video games and masturbation. Overthrow co-founder Sam Baum (page 34), DJ Tamara Sky (page 24), and photographer Charis Kirchheimer (page 35) all have full page spreads in the Miami issue, while the newest addition to leadership Caleb Gauge has a full page in the Atlanta issue (page 36). Check them out online or pick one up in print at your local boutique or hot spot.
Overthrow’s very own production duo Caligula (Damaged Goods + Grand Larceny) have really made quick work of the music game by winning the national M.I.A. track Steppin’ Up remix contest with the first official release. The remix is a dubbed out interpretation that brings the lyrics and chorus of the song to their most basic meaning, going the opposite direction of the abstract sounds of the original track.
This victory means they will be headed to to LA to attend HARD Fest as well as spend 3 days in the fabled Red Bull Studios, where they will likely produce a song responsible for an earthquake. OK, so we dont spend a lot of time on the west coast and we took a cheap shot about earthquakes. We’ve heard almost everything else out there is perfect so go fuck yourself!
The mysterious origins of Overthrow’s projects are often shrouded in mystery, the occult, and substance abuse. The recent collaboration between Overthrow and Atlanta artist Greg Mike was no exception until deep journalistic investigation by Miami New Times brand new feature “Cultist” lead to come clarity. Or more confusion.
Charis Kirchheimer has been an emerging talent in Miami photography ever since she exploded onto the scene with her famous work on the Black Sunday Murder Movies. She also has shot most of the Overthrow team both out and in the studio, making our party worn mugs look good despite lack of sleep and general abuse.
A celebration is underway at the Overthrow Castle.
Hitting newsstands today, our very own globe-trotting temptress, Tamara Sky, has just received the local title as Miami New Times “Best DJ 2010,” making her the first female winner in all the land of disc jocks. Before even having a chance to pop the tag off the crown, Tamara has broken an even radder record as the most provocative winner of any “Best Of” category in the history of Miami New Times. DJ nerd forums have have gone apeshit: psychoanalyzing her dj credentials, background check, citizenship papers, auditing her live mixtapes on repeat in search of a single train-wreck, and subsequently driving even more fame into the new queen’s cache.
Tamara, our hats will forever be tipped to you. As for her new committee of anti-groupies, the verdict is right under your nose:
“This girl will eat all your hate and shit out gold. So keep it coming…”
