DJ JS1-
Born and raised in Queens, NY, the 30 year old beat maker has been spinning since the golden era of the late 80’s. Throughout the 90s, JS honed his craft by challenging (and beating) other deejays in local battles, releasing some of the underground’s hottest mix-tapes, and appearing on scratch albums like the Return of the DJ series on Bomb Records.
In 1999, JS got the opportunity of a lifetime: MTV’s DJ Skribble asked him to appear on the acclaimed show “Deejay Day” during the high profile “Hip Hop Week.” Soon after, the network asked JS to spin for their “Campus Invasion Tour ’99.” Most notably, the next year JS performed live from Times Square on the “MTV New Years Eve Millenium Special” for millions of tv viewers. JS was the first DJ to scratch for 2 minutes straight on live tv, and then perform a 3 man dj routine at 11:45pm LIVE in Times Square in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and aired on MTV around the globe simultaneously!!!
But “Deejay Day” proved even more telling for JS-1. While filming for MTV, JS met his partner Rahzel, the legendary beat boxer, who was also filming for MTV that day. The chemistry was undeniable and the two have worked together ever since, performing at over 700 shows worldwide, in 5 continents, and more than 30 countries. Their show is the only two-man, beatbox-DJ group in the world. You must see DJ JS-1 scratch records with his feet to believe it’s real! Now in 2007, Rahzel & JS1 have included MC Supernatural and they have formed a side-group called ”The Magnificents.” Performing an “all freestyle / all improvised show”, THE MAGNIFICENTS (Rahzel * JS1 * Supernatural) have already toured around the planet.
RAHZEL-
The undisputed “Godfather of Noyze” has re-defined the beat box. A self-defined “vocal percussionist,” Rahzel (rhymes with ‘gazelle’) has perfectly mastered this quintessential hip hop art form and has emerged as a “true virtuoso.” To hear him is to be converted.
Billboard Magazine proclaims : “Everyone should experience his fascinating rhythms…using just his lips, cheeks, gums, and Adam’s apple he (recreates), with amazing accuracy and detail, tracks from the magic mixing desks of Pete Rock…and others.” His mockery of instruments/arcade of sounds leaves audiences captivated, wondering “is he for real?”
