Why Records Present OUTLOUD - The exciting new album from
DJ T-ROCK AND SQUASHY NICE.

The OUTLOUD CD is available exclusively in New Zealand in limited edition packaging. Order your's online today
while stocks last!

This multi-talented duo first hit the scene with the hit Mama Said (Wear You
Out) from their partnership debut album Rock & Squash Techniques, which Real
Groove magazine in New Zealand named as one of the top five albums of 2005.
DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice (AKA Rock & Squash), are back October 2007 with
their second album OUTLOUD.

OUTLOUD features respected special guest DJ's and MC's including I Self
Devine from the popular RHYMESAYERS family, Mr. Dibbs (who became EL P's DJ
of DEF JUX), AZEEM plus many more multi-talented friends.

While the 25 track strong album is more hip-hop than the last one, the style
hasn't changed too drastically - the pair have still managed to maintain
those choppy, rhythmic, drum patterns reminiscent of the Rock & Squash
Techniques album.

The albums first single titled Ho Really has an accompanying video starring
DJ T-Rock and EROS (the MC and actor), and is the story of two men walking
along the street in opposite directions. These pedestrians clash and are
forced into a dance-off in order to decide who has the right of way.
Directed by DJ T-Rock, the clip and a number of tracks on OUTLOUD are
reflective of the duo's background working in the film & television medium.

OUTLOUD's second single Men Are Scarce, is a political anthem which asks the
question, what the hell are we fighting for (?); a look at the current U.S.
military involvement in Iraq and exploring the possibility of mankind
destroying itself through pointless fighting.
The clip was directed by Larry Morris (of the Cartoon Network) and features
T-Rock and Squashy Nice as the last two men on planet Earth with homage to
70's sci-fi movie classics such as Planet of the Apes and Logan's Run.
Animated zombies have taken over!

Southern born, LA based DJ T-Rock, ever since the late 80's, has been
spinning vinyl throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and NZ, has released a
number of solo and collective albums, TV commercials and soundtracks, and
has acted in numerous TV and film productions. Currently, between live
gigging and recording, DJ T-Rock is producing music for the Cartoon Network,
MTV, and other television and film broadcasts. Along with the sought after
and style distinctive Producer Squashy Nice, the duo have created an album
they are both very happy with. "We wanted to make this album for us,
because hip-hop is what we grew up on...it's how we began, and it's how
we'll end. OUTLOUD took us over a year and a half to finish but we are
completely satisfied and proud of the end results. It's music to (T-) ROCK
your ass off to!"

Background - WHY RECORDS:

Why Records are a New Zealand based independent music label formed in June
2005 when label owners were presented with the opportunity to release an album by American producer & scratch DJ duo DJ
T-Rock & Squash.

Both Why Records company directors have been entrenched in their local music scene for many years, in the live music sence & radio/broadcasting scene.

T-Rock & Squash, although already having released a sizable body of work
independently in the US, fell in love with New Zealand after watching the
Lord of the Rings movies, so for their debut collaborative project Rock &
Squash Techniques, chose to sign to Why Records, and on October 1st 2007,
Why Records will release the duo's second album entitled OUTLOUD.

About working alongside their NZ label DJ T-Rock said
"We had always admired the energy and attitude of the New Zealanders that we've met in the
past, and always found them to be creative and passionate about music. Our
NZ label will go the extra mile, and conducts business on a more
personalized level than the labels here in the US. Judging by what we've
heard of the underground hip hop scene there, NZ seems more open and liberal
than pop-hip-hop saturated America, plus it has an amazing student radio
network that we discovered on our student Orientation tour in 2005, so we
thought our music could be well received there.
Jimi Hendricks didn't become famous in his home country first. Americans
didn't really know how to take what Jimi was doing so he looked elsewhere
(the UK and Europe)... to where peoples minds were more open to new sounds.
That's what we believe has and will happen for us in NZ".
