DeeJay Random

I have been a hip-hop/scratch dj, professionaly, since 1986. My style is un-orthodox, to say the least, and is usually pretty aggressive.I love to cut breaks and trash funk records, fuck around with strange drum breaks, battle geeks and smash to pieces anyone stupid enough to try and fuck me over. My un-orthodoxness will carnagerize any wishy washy bullshit you may think you have invented. trust me.... I am, after all, a professional. I have appeared on several vinyl releases including "pubs, drunks and hip hop" by Diversion tactics, "Roll call" by The Steel Devils and Diversion tactics, "eye to eye" by the procryptix, "serious" by Dr zygote and Verb T, "madam swish" by labrat and have several collaborations in the pipeline with Mike Bandoni, Funkshone, Diversion tactics, Dr Zygote, Naba, Sparkii ski amongst others. mixtapes including "sliceanice" 1 and 2, "A.S.B.O" and the forthcoming "we're all fucked" are available from deejayrandom.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk or by messaging me. I have entered all of the major international and national dj competitions of any note and gained fairly respectable results in all of them, some of these include the Technics/DMC world dj championships, The UK DMC team championships (with my dj team "The Steel Devils"), The ITF eastern hemisphere category battles, the Vestax dj competition, the DMC European dj championships.....etc, etc..... ...and now i judge them.......here is my competition history.....************** 1989 DMC/Technics UK DJ championships.
