Bio: Along with the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and the X-Ecutioners, the BeatJunkies were one of the seminal DJ crews that revived the art of turntablism (i.e., using turntables as musical instruments in and of themselves) during the '90s.
Distinguished by their multicultural membership and trademark Green Lantern rings, the BeatJunkies were formed in Orange County (outside Los Angeles) in 1992 by J-Rocc (born Jason Jackson).
That year, the BeatJunkies got their own radio show in the suburb of Santa Ana, and began testing their skill regularly on the DJ battle circuit around southern California.
The BeatJunkies, internationally recognized as an unparalleled musical phenomenon, innovated an original DJ artform that continues to entertain and inspire all realms of the music sphere.
The BeatJunkies etched their mark in television history by becoming the first DJ crew to claim a permanent band position on a national television program.
The BeatJunkies are featured in two prized films that achieved recognition and extended media coverage at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival in Utah, including Scratch and Keepintime.
Since 1992, David Mendoza, globally recognized as DJ Melo-D of the world famous BeatJunkies, has conjured fascination amongst music enthusiasts both in the national and international scenes.
The BeatJunkies are the first and only turntable band to capture and defend this celebrated title two consecutive years.
From 1996-2001, his position as the mixshow DJ for a radio program formerly hosted by Julio G (100.3 The Beat), enabled him to share the internationally acclaimed "BeatJunkie Style" of DJing with millions of people throughout Southern California.

I thought about the new Ghostface "Supreme Clientele" but instead chose to go out on a limb and buy the World Famous BeatJunkies Vol.2, a two cd album which is absolutely amazing.
I originally picked it up because I liked Soundbombing 2 put out by Rawkus this past year which had been mixed by two of the BeatJunkies founders, J Rocc and Babu.
Anyways, the BeatJunkies are a crew of DJ's who are all friends out in California but who have truly taken the art of turntablism to new levels and made people like Funkmaster Flex look like a joke.
And to get you in the mood for the beatjunkies (or if you can't afford them, but still want a hip-hop fix with that international flava) get down to Dexploitation tonight, and see K-Delight (UK) this guy is sure to string together some awesome tracks, old and new, and damn, can he scratch!!!

After a ridiculous and long circumnambulatory security and entrance procedure, it becomes clear we have failed to enter through the press line, so we step to the people with the clipboards for some more attitude.
Tipsy is amazing, and more fun than you can beat with a stick.
Original Tipsy member David Gardner is present (and very entertaining), mixing, patching, and looking like the world's most satisfied Radio Shack customer.
A new form of pop music, rock and roll, evolved from a fl style known as rhythm and blues: songs with strong beats and often risqué lyrics.
Though written by and for fls, rhythm and blues also appealed to white teenagers, for whom listening to it over fl-oriented radio stations late at night became a secret pleasure.
A typical example is "Ain't That a Shame," a 1955 hit in a rock version by its fl composer, Antoine "Fats" Domino, but an even bigger hit as a ballad-like cover by a white performer, Pat Boone.
