Before becoming a trio, the Triple Threat DJs, comprising of legendary DJs
Shortkut,
Apollo and
Vinroc, all but conquered their genre. They were introduced to the art form as youngsters through mobile DJing and evolved into world-renowned turntablists. Triple Threat represents the future of turntablism, precisely because they've been so instrumental to its storied past. Though they have championship-level skills at scratching and beat-juggling they also know how to rock a party, produce music and create original compositions with two turntables. They are not just djs, turntablists, producers, musicians or club djs, they encompass all aspects.

Ink 19 This album represents REAL hip-hop.
Bahamadia, First Lady of Hip Hop This is a sick album it has so many of the elements of hip hop, and some of the best artists, that keep me believing in the progression of hip hop music, sick beats and solid vocals.
Alex Moulton, Eye Ball Media Triple Threat best symbolizes what Galactic has been about since its inception: using the soul vocabulary to explore new sounds and grooves, and making a non-stop party of it.
Galactic Triple Threat has been an important influence on the DJ community. Their live show exposes the importance of all the aspects of DJing. While most "turntablist" soley focus on skill while there on stage, Triple Threat has brought the emphasis back to record selection and takes there audience through a musical journey that all fans of good music can appreciate. Triple Threat is the definition of a well rounded DJ collective.
