Turntablism & DMC Routines (Core Roster Selector)

DJ CURSE (DJ Curse) is a documented selector and collective member of [BJ] The World Famous Beat Junkies. Representing Los Angeles, CA / Cerritos / Orange County, CA, DJ CURSE helped shape BJ's battle wax legacy, hardware craft, and international sound system sessions.

“Founded in 1992 by J.Rocc, Melo-D, and Rhettmatic — and soon joined by DJ Babu (who coined the word 'Turntablist' in 1995) and Shortkut — The Beat Junkies bridge razor-sharp ITF/DMC battle routines with deep soul, funk, and hip-hop party-rocking.”
