“The Hollerboard’s biggest success story in 2006 is Curtis Vodka, a 20-year-old DJ-producer from Anchorage, Alaska, who started posting his tracks two years ago and has since released an EP, toured Sweden and relocated to Brooklyn–landing his first NYC gig within three weeks of moving. “A bunch of people wanted to book me, but it was just so ridiculous, money-wise, to fly me out anywhere from Alaska.” says Curtis, who credits Deluxxx and Cosmo Baker for championing his music on the board. “you take a kid from Alaska who doesn’t have an immediate scene around him, and the Internet becomes kind of its own scene.” says Low Budget, pointing to how promoters have started following the Hollerboard to scout new talent.”
