Background on The Beat Junkies:

The Beat Junkies, internationally recognized as an unparalleled
musical phenomenon, innovated an original DJ artform that continues to
entertain and inspire all realms of the music sphere. This crew of DJ
virtuosos is comprised of nine accomplished musicians: J.Rocc, DJ Curse
, Rhettmatic, Babu, Melo-D, "DJ What?!", Mr. Choc, and Shortkut.
Stemming from various mobile DJ units throughout Los Angeles County and
the Bay Area, these artists came together in the early '90s, and
introduced a masterful musical style that transformed the DJ artform
throughout the world. Talented veterans in creating original
compositions, the Beat Junkies introduced their unique DJ forte to
audiences on every continent.

Founded in the early 90's by J-Rocc., The Beat Junkies have been
going strong since day one. Success has surrounded the Beat Junkies
since the start of the new millennium. In 2001, Beat Junkie artists,
J.Rocc, Rhettmatic and Babu completed an eight-week, 45-city tour
throughout the United States, in which they showcased their turntable
expertise of combining creativity and skilled precision to invent
explosive musical compositions. This heavily documented tour, entitled
"Word-of-Mouth", featured internationally acclaimed artists, including
Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples and MC Supernatural. "Word-of-Mouth" proved
to be one of the most highly anticipated tours in 2001, with 90% of the
show's concert venues filled to maximum capacity.

The Beat Junkies etched their mark in television history by becoming
the first DJ crew to claim a permanent band position on a national
television program. The Beat Junkies showcased their turntable talent
throughout Farmclub.com's first season, diversifying the DJ audience to
a wider realm. The Beat Junkies continue to share their signature style
with music enthusiasts, both in the national and international markets.
Their musical sounds attract fans from countries, including Switzerland,
Germany, France, Japan, England, and Canada.

Babu and Rhettmatic each share their turntable talent with two
commanding Hip-Hop bands that undoubtedly achieved a towering level of
success the past two years. Babu, a leading figure of Dilated Peoples,
and Rhettmatic, a major force of the Visionaries, are accomplished in
tackling their DJ roles with the above bands. The creative freedom found
in Dilated Peoples and the Visionaries allows them to produce
masterpieces and execute the "Beat Junkie Style" with solid expertise.
