Tres Records is making moves and DJ Alibi is next up to bat. If you missed it, Tres was the label to drop the last albums by Giant Panda, Lightheaded and People Under The Stairs. It’s been a good couple years for them, and it’s wise to take notice.

21 year old DJ Alibi was apparently “discovered” by Thes One (PUTS). The first hints of DJ Alibi’s skills first hit with the Tres Presents: Shipping And Handling compilation. He dropped a Chops remix on there that was quite nice. Production is the key here. Alibi’s new release is a nice way to lead off; uplifting production with attention to detail, upbeat tracks, and fresh MCs. I’m not making any predictions, but I’m anxious to hear the new album. Not sure when it drops.
