Cut Chemist is kind of an unsung hero in the DJ and turn-tablism realm. One of the founding members of Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli, he has moved on to some solo work, but his involvement with the alternative hip hop crew J5 and the internationally flavorful rhythm of Ozomatli has made cut chemist into a very unique DJ who can mix a wide spectrum of music and styles with amazing turn-tablism skills.

You can check out his first solo LP, The Audience is Listening from 2006. He has produced a lot more than just albums, and has worked with top musicians such as Shakira and DJ Shadow, and companies like Apple.

He has been working on new material and his upcoming remix of Nat King Cole’s “Day in Day Out,” due to release this upcoming Spring.

Cut Chemist is definitely a force to be reckoned with, not only in the DJ/Hip Hop world, but in the music world.

DJ Shadow

A legendary DJ, Shadow has taken DJ’ing and turntablism to a whole other level. If you haven’t seen him live yet, you need to. If you haven’t heard of him, then you should check his work out. He is arguably one of the best DJ’s ever to hit the decks.
He mixes a wide array of genres, not just hip hop, including just great music/songs to compose a highly energetic and ear pleasing mix.

Ft. Collins’ own hip hop up and comer Grieves will be performing at The Marquis Theater in Denver Thursday August 19. I’ve seen Grieves live at least 3 time sand opened for him with my crew, Kollage, a few years back, and each time, I have been impressed, not only with the unique and humorous entertainment factor Grieves pulls in and the quality content, but Budo also brings in the beats, tables and instruments with crushing quality sound.

They just dropped their new album, Irreversible,  on their new label Rhymesayers, formerly with Black Clover, and even though it’s another label, they still retain their dynamic jazzy hip hop sound and great story telling lyricism. I am always impressed at the production quality of their albums, including the previous 88 keys and counting, not only are the beats great, but the production is over the top with small details of compression, appropriately placed and well used effects/filters, and crisps crunching melodies and overlays! Listen up for Scar Garden, which has a nice remixed sample from another CO based crew Crown City Rockers now in SF – track 06 from their last album under their former name, “Mission.”

The “dude” rocked The Blue Bird Tuesday night.

This was the first time I have seen him live and I’m glad I did. He threw out his classics like Lac-ville ’79 to some new tracks that I haven’t heard before. Definitely a sick show with old school flava’ and energy. DD’s vocal scratches and effects are dope and pretty convincing.
