Fool’s Gold Records’ most recently signed talent & Atlanta’s dancefloor heat provider.

From his current tour with fellow Contagious Musiq djs Craze, Tittsworth, and Klever, to flawless funk & electro production, to downright mean club hype… this cat is gonna show us why he’s about to wreck 2008.

 ” Atlanta has a new white hot producer going under the name Treasure Fingers. You might recognize the name from the remix he did of Snowden’s “Anti-Anti” which served as the initial experiment in disco funk… and has now turned into a full concept.
TF’s latest masterpiece, “Cross The Dancefloor,” is nothing short of brilliant modernized disco funk. Part Chromeo, part Dr. Dre, part Aphex Twin… it is an infectious combo that commands immediate attention when introduced to a dance floor. I’ve watched it happen with my own eyes as people immediately start singing the lyrics and attempting their own dance interpretation.
I’ve heard snippets of future tracks from Treasure Fingers… so I’m just going to say, take my advice and jump on this train now… because everyone is going to be jocking TF in the near future. ”

” Atlanta DJ du jour Treasure Fingers led a dance party on Saturday night tucked away in the furthest and smallest tent in the festival grounds. Although he was playing against dance-rock heavy weights The Killers and MSRTKRFT, the tent swelled with dancers. Mixing up the French disco of the self-produced track “Cross The Dancefloor” together with electro breaks of his remix of Fergie’s “Glamorous” and blended with the freeze-and-release remakes of Pink Floyd and The Mamas And The Papas’ tracks seemed only natural as he tweaked and turned one song into the next. This set only proved he can rock out unsuspecting crowds as well as his hometown masses. ”
