DJ Throwback Soul aka DJ j3
ATL born student of the elemental forces. The first true product of the cable generation, j3 brings together his varied musical influences in unique and fresh blends that are good enough for any lover of these worldy vibes. The new Revere: "The Tapes are Coming! The Tapes are Coming!"
I’m also a dedicated arcade fighter fanatic whom enjoys pondering deep philosophical concepts, the false sense of security in the EE.UU. today, and why I still can’t find my Transformer rock...

Rawls, J-Rocc, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Refused (The Shape of Punk to Come never came...), Kool Keith (scratch records, scratch fever), Ben Hameen and the Collective Efforts crew, Gripplyaz, Crown City Rockers, Starving Artists Crew, Summertime (and the living’s easy...), and everything in my stacks or on my wall....and that’s way too many to talk about today, kiddies!!!
