Featuring DJs Platurn and Spair, the Oakland Faders graduated from on-air personalities on U. of C. Berkeley's KALX to production and club work. Both DJs have been recognized for their turntable skills, with Spair being named 1999's Mix Tape Champion by Urb magazine. The duo released the Fader Beats EP in 2001. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
