Friday, April 18
6:00 pm

Homegrown Presents: DJ Quest (Bullet Proof Scratch/Livehuman) Appearing at Amoeba with Eddie K, Luke Sick, Bas 1, and more. Influenced by the hip-hop and electro styles of the early 80’s, DJ Quest has contributed to the DJ’s art form by bringing a more aggressive scratch tactic to the battle scene. Quest, featured in the Palm Pictures documentary SCRATCH, is a veteran of the DMC, New Music Seminar and countless other battles. Quest coined “Hamster Style,” a unique technique of reversing the set up of turntables into a mixer to facilitate new styles of scratching. Today the term and technique remain popular and are used by DJs worldwide. Quest is one of the founding members of Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters/Space Travelerz. Together they created Hamster Breaks, the first battle style record.
