Cut Chemist

He’s a founding member of the legendary west coast hip hop crew Jurassic 5 and the hugely successful world/latin/beats posse Ozomatli. Cut Chemist also collaborated with DJ Shadow on two of the most in-demand remix CDs ever and is regarded by all as a virtuoso of decks, cuts and loops. Now the turntable extraordinaire brings his envelope-pushing live show to Australia for his cut ‘n’ scratch audio-visual blowout; ‘Sound of the Police’. This is Cut Chemist at the peak of his powers, a master craftsman, creating some of the wildest slabs of music you have ever heard using turntables, a mixer, a loop pedal and all original vinyl pressings. Accompanying Cut Chemist is a long-time visual collaborator, Tom Fitzgerald, the virtual founding father of LA’s Cinefamily and king of disintegrating digital video deconstructions; a guy who is able to manipulate, warp and destroy clips in ways like no other.
