Live from London - Brainfeeder Sessions

J Rocc

Stones Throw, Los Angeles

One of the original turntablists, J.Rocc might be best known as member of the Beat Junkies which he co-founded in 1992 - but he's done just as much on his own as in a group setting. Starting out as a DJ for California group PSK in the mid '80s, he's released countless mixtapes (including the seminal Soundbombing II compilation for Rawkus that perfectly captured the Jansport spirit at the peak of the indie rap hype in the late '90s) and contributed production to various Stones Throw releases. He's been the DJ for Madlib's live shows since the early 2000s, hopped on stage with Jaylib as the group's inofficial third member, and collaborated with 'Lib on Beat Konducta Vol 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla. But most of all J.Rocc is a DJ - one of a kind. Able to please the hooded nerd as well the dancing herd, J can play across the styles, genres and centuries. Hard like a Rocc!
