“I’ve been a huge fan since first hearing his Brainfreeze mix with longtime collaborator, DJ Shadow, around 20 years ago. So, it was next level seeing him live. This isn’t just pushing buttons – he’s truly a scientist on the turntables. Only when reviewing the footage in slow motion did I fully appreciate how quick and precise his movements are. Hopefully, I was able to convey it in the edit.”
—Matt Rhodes, videographer
In a prolific career well past its second decade, Cut Chemist has been considered a master of turntablism and production since his days in Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli through this year’s release of Die Cut, his first solo album in 12 years.
We captured the master holding court during a couple nights at Palm Door on Sabine and Elysium during SXSW, set to “Home Away from Home” from Die Cut.
Catch Cut Chemist tonight at Clusterfest in San Francisco.
