What do they put in the water in Cerritos? Whatever it is, this former farming community and current model of American suburbia is THE unlikely breeding ground for bona fide turntablists. The current generation of hip hop wizards surfaced in the early 90s. These visionaries unplugged their Nintendo Entertainment Systems and traded them in for Technics 1200s. They pleaded with their parents to drive them to Pro Sound in Garden Grove to buy the latest mixers, and snuck into the 18 and over parties thrown by Legend Entertainment, dreaming of the day they too would drop dope beats and move the crowd.By the time the mid to early 90s materialized, the Cerritos D.J. scene was dominated by three groups: Audio FX, Grand Groove, Icon Events. The competition between the three groups was intense, and claimed more than a few lives. The future of Hip Hop looked grim, until D.J. Butta of Grand Groove decided to put an end to the silliness, and unite the three powerhouses. The troika put away their differences and united, behind the Funky President, becoming the Cerritos All Stars.Today, the All Stars, three in one, and one in three, use their powers for good, and not evil. They aim to influence the next generation of turntablists, and complete the cipher, ever mindful of the turntablists that came before them. Cerritos All Stars Radio, the brain child of D.J. Kwest of Icon Events, is the All Stars' voice, their chosen medium to spread peace, love and Hip Hop. Long live Cerritos. Long live the All Stars.
