DJ is loaded term these days. The advent of new technology has allowed a broader array of people to claim the title DJ when in actuality many are just AI assisted music curators. DJ, producer, and scratch samurai D-Styles is cut from a different cloth.After honing his craft in the fertile crescent that was the Bay Area DJ scene of the 90's D-Styles has perfected and innovated the art of scratching. He has won international DJ competitions with the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and the Word Famous Beat Junkies but he is more musician than anything. Over the past 20+ years he has quietly amassed a healthy production catalogue including everything from ground breaking works of turntablism (peep 2002's Phantazmagorea album) to making beats for undergrounds stalwarts like Jihad The Roughneck and ascendant vangaurd-ian R.A.P. Ferreira. His immense talent is juxtaposed by his intense humility and everyday vibes.On the A side of the episode your humble host Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate Leblanc talk about their bachelor pad horror stories and there favorite scratch choruses. On side B there is robust discussion about struggle meals and proper bachelor pad etiquette. This episode is a must listen for all DJ's and the people who love them.If you like what you hear please like, rate, review, and subscribe on your platform of choice.
