Mix Master Mike
One of the premier scratch artists of the day, -Mixmaster Mike was marked by the discovery of Grandmixer DST on stage with Herbie Hancock. 1992, Mike was the first West Coast DJ to become World Champion by winning the New Music Seminar DJ Battle for World -Supremacy in New York City.
Shortly thereafter, friends and fellow turn tablists -Triple Threat - Apollo (Apollo Novicio), D-Styles (Dave Cuasito)and Shortkut (Jonathan Cruz) -joined Mike and Q-Bert to form the Invisible Skratch Picklz (ISP), the most influential and recognizable turntablist crew in history.
It was a chance meeting at the Rock Steady -Anniversary Jam in NYC in 1994 with Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys that would propel Mike to the next level. The two exchanged numbers and Mike often left crazy scratch messages on Adam's answering service.
Fellow Beasties Mario C and Mike D caught on to his scratch message craze and in 1997 requested Mike's studio work for their multi-platinum album Hello -Nasty. Soon after completion of Hello Nasty's -recording, the Beastie Boys offered Mike to become their resident DJ.
Mike's latest effort, Bangzilla, is nothing short of the titles reference. Action packed, kick drums to the chest, hard bass for the booty, and all that scratchin' is bound to put a hurtin' on them.
