In a world of a bazillion dj’s there are a select few that have continued to push the art form in new directions, while staying true enough to the roots to be considered a near legend. Being mentioned in a short list with the likes of dj Shadow and Z-Trip, a founder of the Hip Hop Legend Jurassic Five and the brilliant Ozomatli, it is with great honor that we bring to you…...CUT CHEMIST!

One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-‘80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles.
