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 turntablist 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 right in front of your eyes using turntables, a mixer, a loop pedal and all original vinyl pressings. Accompanying Cut Chemist is 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 that are hilarious, groovy, musical and psychedelicized like no other.
