BeatJunkies @ Jazz Cafe, London

on the Sunday 23rd January 2011, Jazz Cafe welcomes J-ROCC / DJ BABU & DJ RHETTMATIC.

After the jump the blurb

 

Very few DJ crews have managed to have such an impact on every aspect of their trade as the “World Famous” Beat Junkies”.

Having cut their teeth as battle crew winning every title imaginable they have gone on to individually record albums (with J-Rocc’s debut due to drop on Stones Throw in March), produce for some of the most incredible MCs around, be part of live acts, most notably Babu as part of Dilated Peoples, Rhettmatic as part of The Visionaries and J-Rocc as the live DJ for  Hip-Hop luminaries such as J-Dilla & Madlib, release incredible mixtapes and record brilliant radio shows.

Tonight however it is as a live turntablist club rocking outfit they come to us as J-Rocc, DJ Babu and DJ Rhettmatic show their excellence on 6 turntables while the incredible Rakaa Iriscience controls the mic.

Having toured in every country in the world with a set of decks they are as skilled in bringing dance-floors to a sweaty euphoria as they are any other aspect of their game so once again you are guaranteed The Doctor’s Orders and the legendary Jazz Café have pulled off another coup in having the worlds most respected DJ crew come to convert London onto the addictive Beat Junkies sound tonight.

Great show! Spin doctor puts together great shows. The Beat Junkies did not disappoint with great turntablism and showmanship and performance from RAKAA IRISCIENCE (DILATED PEOPLES). 6 turntables some funk, old school hip-hop, sample moments, J-Dilla tributes and turntables tricks. This show had it all.
