Write-Ups for the 2011 RFT Music Awards

Nominated for 2 awards in this year's RFT Music Awards. Here are the official write-ups:  

Mass Appeal for "Best Residency"

DJ Mahf's Mass Appeal has held down its spot at Atomic Cowboy for years. His work with Earthworms and Steddy P prove he's more than just a party-starter; he's as capable a technical DJ as they come. There's not as much wizardry at Mass Appeal. The goal is to get people dancing, obviously, and Mahf's knowledge of deep-cut hip-hop, funk, soul and plenty more make him well qualified for that particular task. After spending most of the spring on an interstate tour with Steddy P in support of its third collaborative album, Mahf is back at Atomic Cowboy just in time for the summer jam season. (KM)  

Earthworms for "Best Hip Hop Group"

This hip-hop quartet — including MCs Kama, Mathias, Black Patrick and DJ Mahf — comprises well-known solo talents, but together they prove there's strength in numbers, and never more so than on the group's latest release, 2010's Midnight at the Capricorn. Though the men give nods to St. Louis in their songs, the group has proven that spot-on scratching, tight vocals and unrelenting energy can grab fans far beyond this river town's banks: They've played Austin's South by Southwest, Hollywood's House of Blues and even hopped around the Continent, performing at military bases.
