| | Influences | I've loved music my entire life and have recently, in the past 3 years, been able to make music and entertain crowds on the one's and two's. I've been influenced by many, too many to sit here and make a list, but to name 2 who've really influenced me, the one and only, Mix Master Mike and DJ Premier (Premo) have helped me identify the type of scratch I like to lay down with bands, from the crazy, spacey sound effect transforming scratch of Mix Master Mike to the sentence word scratching, scribbles, tears, flares, stabs, drags and chirps by Premo. I'm not a trick/battle/routine/competition DeeJay, but love those cats alot, they're amazing and I love what they do. I watch 'em all the time and they influence me to continue to explore what can be created on the ones and two's. However, I can't deal with scratch sessions with a bunch of DeeJay's, mostly because all everyone ever wants to do is crab scratch the infamous SWOOSH over break beats all session long. That's just plain boring and doesn't have any influence on me at all and it really doesn't contribute to music. As far as spinning music for the headz, I really like to keep the music uptempo, hard hitting, funky, soulful and experimental at all times, even creating my own live beats on the loopstation for the concert venue shows. You will never catch me slowing the set down on you. Like me, I love my audience to feel the music and I prefer not to play down tempo hip hop trax. My preference and love for what I spin is influenced straight from the Old School Hip Hop scene, Old School Underground Hip Hop scene and only some of today's Underground Hip Hop scene. NOTHING TOP 40, I steer clear of all today's Top 40 radio rap/r&b. You will never catch me playing the commercial radio rap/r&b jams in my sets. It's garbage to me and I don't play for the Top 40 crowds. Todays Top 40 has NO SOUL in it. I can't feel today's rap and r&b at all. Anyways, I'll just leave that for the glam club jox. Some of the musical influence you'll hear in my DeeJay set lists consist of: Aesop Rock, Cut Chemist, Hyminal, Blackalicious, A Tribe Called Quest, Wax Taylor, Atmosphere/Slug (thanks Rach), DeLa Soul, Digable Planets, Jurrasic 5, Biz Markie, Lyrics Born, Too Short, Talib (when he did Reflection Eternal, he really fell off though, sad!), Eric B and Rakim, EPMD, Mos Def (although he hates whitey, he's ill), Funkdoobiest, Gangstarr, Nice -n- Smooth, Old School WU (when they were dope, another sad fall off), Grand Puba, Old School Del, Lords of the Underground, Black Sheep, Das EFX, Old School Redman, Blackstar, Special Ed, Public Enemy, Old School Snoop, Fugees, some Fushnix, Cypris Hill, Gorillaz, Old School Busta Rhymes, The Roots, "a-yah-yahee"-Some of that mid 90's West Coast with out the 2Pac garbage, Common, Chubb Rock, Newcleus, Young MC, , The Pharcyde, Biggie, The Coup, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Ugly Duckling, Leaders of the New School, Naughty, UMC's, Stereo MC's, Nas (when he did Illmatic in 93-94, I think this was the hardest fall off I've delt with, just aweful how bad he is these days and pretty much everything he did after Illmatic was horrible), GZA (the illest member of WU who never lets me down and my favorite MC), House of Pain, Old School Ice Cube, some experimental shit and so on..... You know, shit like that. Come party with me and RAWK!***** 1993 was the best year ever for Hip Hop. It's very sad to me to see where Hip Hop is today. Even the new school underground has really taken a turn for the worst. So I'll just keep droppin' the ill shit for you.******
Peace to all and any flavor DeeJay out there. We each have our own flavor, style, preference and influence on how we chose to RAWK shit and I trully respect you all very much!
Peace to my 303 headz that I've performed and shared the stage with: Rhythm Vision, The Flash Mob, Flobots, UmConscious, Word up to P-Nuk, Genial, Boondok Saints, Ultrachronic, Five Style Fist, Banana Conjak, Lion Vibes, Ras Steady, Synthetic Elements, 3AM, Optimal Frequency, Synaptic Collapse, ION, Mercury Project, Future Jazz Project, Audible Abilities, YoFlaco, The Haggardies, Hypnotic Fly, Judge Roughneck, Love 45, Sunset Curse, 3OH!3, Kelli Said, Apex Vibe, The Basementalism crew (Judge and B*Money) along with Basementalism sessions with DJ Dylon and more.....
REVIEW:
"If you haven't heard DJ KAAOS spin, then you haven't heard the real side and roots of hip hop. From someone who appreciates the roots of hip hop, this guy can spin the music that you thought you forgot about, but you sure remember how to groove to. DJ KAAOS not only rocked the main stage at 36 Hours of Keystone, he had a steady following for the two additional sets he spun at...with the crowd waiting and braving the cold just to hear his real and unedited hip hop. Don't expect the top 40...turn on the radio if you're looking to hear that...this is the reals...the stuff that started it all. SoBe Tim...SoBe Brand Manager - Colorado"

| About DJ KAAOS |
First and most important to me in life is that I’m a family man. I have a beautiful wife and 7 year old daughter named Emma. Music and anything else in life is secondary and takes a back seat to my family life. So, secondly, I’m a party rockin’ turntablist spinning uptempo music from the old school Hip Hop and Underground Hip Hop scene, along with some experimental shit; and I love playing in bands. I’M NOT A COMPETITION, or TRICK-BATTLE DeeJay. I’m a no-request, mix and scratch DeeJay for the most part where I rock the party with all "ill", uptempo Hip Hop keeping the party rockin’ all night WITHOUT THE TOP 40 BULLSHIT !! I started dabling in turntablism in 2005 desiring to be a DeeJay in a rock band and have since taken it to exactly where I wanted to be today and look forward to more to come. Away from the band scene, I do a lot of solo DeeJaying. I DeeJay at concert venues, underground night clubs and have established a large following in the ski resort night clubs. I also spin occasionally live on college radio AM 1190 Basementalism Radio as of late. I’ve played in a few bands here in the Denver local band scene where I’m featured and jam on their live sets along with many-a-trip to the recording studio to throw down the scratch for the bands. I was a member of the BOONDOK SAINTS, (now known as The Flash Mob (SURF ROCK), which is a collab of Boondok Saints and Ultrachronic) for 2 years before I ventured to make myself available to jam with other bands without being exclusive to any one band. During my venturing out, I stumbled upon a band called Rhythm Vision that I immediately had a lot of love for. I was featured with Rhythm Vision on a few occasions in 2006, but we all knew I would land with them in their core group eventually; once I pulled my head from my ass and realized what I can be doing with this awesome band. As of late 2006 I was a fulltime member of Rhythm Vision, just in time for the beginning of recording our new record, "Stand Up and Erupt", which was released March 21st 2008. Since the release of the Rhythm Vision record, "Stand up and Erupt" we played a few shows then got very busy with our personal lives, so unfortunately, Rhythm Vision is on hold until further notice. However, you can catch me rockin' with other bands in the Denver local band scene ocasionally and mostly doing solo shows rockin' crowds. Keep an eye on my concert calendar and show bulletins!
