DJ Me DJ You

Few bands can alchemize pop-culture into something as fresh, funny, and fun as dj me dj you. It is not enough to say that sample-based dance collective, dj me dj you, is a sexy, swingin' party band. You already know this from the jiggified dots and loops of l998's Simplemachinerock and 2000's lysergic swirls of droid funk on Rainbows and Robots. Hell, you already saw what reality-challenged beatmeisters the duo of Ross Harris and Craig Borrell are after dropping Contacto Especial Con El Tercer Sexto in 1995, back when they were called Sukia and Beck was playing with them.

Just when you thought these bedroom experimenters were about to vaporize into the ether of their demented genius, Harris and Borrell took the gadget-fueled plings and boinks to the next level and delivered a sonic smart bomb: Can You See The Music, their most cohesive, synaesthetic mind-bender yet proudly released by Eenie Meenie Records.

?From the circuit board mash-up of "New Technology" and "Salsa & Microchips" to the kaleidoscopic textures and goofballery that make "Zodiac Ape" and "Galactic Africa" leap out of the speakers and lodge permanently in your memory banks, to the chest-caving bass lines of "Fembot" and "New You," Can You See The Music is the latest in far-out for this duo's long and illustrious career.

In addition to their career as musical artists, Harris and Borrell have produced music for Money Mark, Beck, The Dust Brothers, Takako Minekawa, Plastilina Mosh, Titan, and Beth Orton, among others. As composers their music is featured in several film and television soundtracks including Laurel Canyon, Kissing Jessica Stein and Roswell, and commercials for Nike, Adidas, and Billabong. They have remixed Fantastic Plastic Machine, DJ Swamp, Anubian Lights, The Raymakers, Dada Muchamonkey and many more.

Harris is also an actor with infamous gigs as the 70's kid in the jive talking scene in Airplane, and parts on Love Boat, Hart to Hart, CHIPS, TJ Hooker, Little House on the Prairie and MTV's Jackass. "These shows had an effect on me musically and beyond." Ross wrote and recently starred in his first full-length feature film titled Southlander, which includes such luminaries as Beck, and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, whom you might remember as Boom Boom from Welcome Back Carter. Southlander was released in select cities nationwide on October 9, 2003.
