Labelmates

DJ VoiceCrack Composer For his time at Def Mute Records, DJ VoiceCrack is credited with having produced over 200 tracks (and growing). Long ago, he had set out to create an original Buffalo Grove Style - a suburban take on music that the artists could wear as a badge of creative pride and fans from all over could recognize and would respect. That style consisted of three components: orchestral ambience, thrash metal overlay, and devastating bass. DJ VoiceCrack is the well-respected backbone of the label earning him the right to drop the moniker of producer and take up the title of composer.

E Luv Executive Producer, Vicious Lyricist E Luv is the "Platoon" of rap. His music features all of this masterful killing set to the backdrop of a beautiful soundtrack. Sitting at the helm of Def Mute Records as Executive Producer, E Luv used his business acumen and took a different approach to the old adage that is the music industry - both from logistical and heuristic points of view. He is truly the glue that holds the label together. When not attending to the backend business processes, E Luv can be found in the studio putting down tracks - epic tracks that are set to leave a listener emotionally drained.

ISD Human ISD retains his status as the first outside-of-Buffalo Grove artist to ever be signed to Def Mute Records. His style of metal methodology combines various different genres rooted deeply in the death, doom, experimental, and grind-core flavors. With each new track, a different story is told, a different emotion felt, and a different sense tantalized. ISD works with boundaries that are limitless and sets out to create music that is timeless. Perhaps foreshadowy in promise, there is an air of personal clarity melded within the chaos.

The Mac-X Crew Gang One member was about that nonsense. One member wanted to take the label to the next level. One member had a big mouth that, more times than not, got him into some serious trouble.... One member just wanted to make beatz. This powderkeg of artists combines to form the latest iteration of The Mac-X Crew. Three MC's and one DJ make up Buffalo Grove's finest assortment of musicians. On a whim, GMNT, E Luv, Earl Solow, and DJ VoiceCrack united to put together a supergroup with as much aural firepower as they had ideology - which to this day, still seems insurmountable.
