Band Members: your lookin at him
Influences: In order of appearance- Kool Kat Corelis for sellin me my first decks, DJ Chewie for gettin me into some shit, Dr. Falafel for hippin me to beat matchin, crab scratchin, and party attackin, E. Brown for introducing me to the funkiest of the funk, LA radio DJ's, No Neck Ned for the inspiration and the records, Alex Mosley for telling me when it sounded good and when it didn't, columbus DJ's (Ginsu, wild kyle, kenny kim, bombay, manwell, sleepyhead, drastic, self, phazo, eyeamme, etc.etc.etc.), and all other DJ's out there. Every musician that is serious about their artform has learned a great deal from other musicians. The idea is not to steal other styles, but to learn from them and incorporate them into a new style. Thats where hip hop came from, all the funk, calaypso, jazz, rock, all that stuff combined. That's what DJ'ing is too (if you're doing it right), but on a different level, instead of creating beats and looping up samples and chopping up drums and stuff, you're taking parts of different songs or even whole songs, from different time periods, different mindstates, diverse backgrounds, and you're combining them and making them flow together to create a cohesive, singular piece of work that has a direction that flows through it. Its all about the flow, and tons of cats out there are lacking that right now. But they all influence me to chase after that flow and that beautiful feeling that only great music can bring, and even if they clog up the marketplace with garbage, ill music can always be found, so its all love, even though I'll smoke em in a battle.
