Editor's review
Whether manning the turntables at a Rahzel show, killing competition in a DJ battle, or making edgy beats in the studio, one thing is clear: DJ JS-1 takes his art form seriously. The Cold Cutz crew member lays down scathing scratches over self-produced tracks while guest MCs take shots at fake radio DJs. The New Yorker comes correct with enticing attitude.
Biography
New York's DJ JS-1 has been touring with with Rahzel (The Roots) since 1998, touring over 35 countries, 5 continents and over 125 world-wide cities. He has been featured on MTV (US, Europe, Japan), BET and has been featured on the Return of the DJ series (volumes 2,3,4 and 5).

AUDIO TECHNICIAN, the third full length album by DJ JS-1 features a mix mash of deejay tracks and rap songs with underground heavyweight MC's such as C-Rayz Walz (Def Jux), Akrobatik, Breez Evahflowin, Immortal Technique (Revolutionary Vol. 2) and Rahzel, the beatbox champion of the world. Every other track on the album is a turntablist scratch track to showcase the deejay. For these tracks JS-1 dips back into the archives and back to his original dj crew members; Spinbad, Slynke and Ody-Roc. DJ Spinbad of POWER 105.1fm in NY, who has toured with Moby for 2 years, is on three of the tracks. Also on the album, for the first time in his career, JS-1 actually rhymes on record! Check out the rhyming deejay on the second verse of the song NEW LEVEL.
AUDIO TECHNICIAN, a true school hip-hop album for any lover of deejays and emcees boasts several great songs. The title track featuring Lifelong and one of the most promising names in underground hip-hop today, Immortal Technique (Uncle Howie Records), is a sureshot classic. Other highlights include the songs BRINGIN BACK NY RAP (featuring BL-One & Jak Danielz), BASIX (featuring Tonedeff & Pack FM), the beatbox/dj track MAKE ME LAUGH with Rahzel and the revised version of the classic Special Ed song THE MISSION by Trez.
