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 eight accomplished musicians: J.Rocc, Rhettmatic, Babu, Melo-D, D-Styles, "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. Their signature music formula, which has become internationally labeled as the "Beat Junkie Style", encompasses a practice that takes years to attain.

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. Their musical sounds attract fans from countries, including Switzerland, Germany, France, Japan, England, and Canada.

This past August, the Beat Junkies launched their first album on their notable record label entitled "Classic Material". This project encompasses the musically innovative and ingenious tracks produced and performed by the Beat Junkie artists between the years of 1995 and 2000.

"Thanks for creating a new way for DJs to play music. It has changed the game as we know it. If you don't have Serato as an option you're playing yourself. " - J.Rocc

"Serato has changed my entire perspective on DJing. Scratch LIVE has opened up so many new doors to creativity, and enables me as a DJ to execute blends and concepts that are not possible with regular vinyl. Essentially, Serato has elevated my sound as a DJ, and has allowed me to reinvent myself in the mix. I highly recommend this program for all DJs, from the novice to the most experienced." - Melo-D
