DJ Raw B

DJ Raw B is primarily known around the Bay Area for his 11 plus year stint as DJ/Producer/Co-Host of KUSF's hip-hop mix show Beatsauce. His efforts along withJ-Boogie and Wisdom have earned the trio several accolades including 1997 "Best of the Bay" (SF Weekly) 1998 Goldie Award (Bay Guardian), 2004 "Best of The Bay" (Bay Guardian). In addition to his work on the radio, the 31-year old crate digger has steadily been prescience on the local club circuit garnering a "Best Local Club DJ" nod from the Bay Guardian's Best of The Bay (2001). Raw B has also lent his prose to several live projects including Felonious' theatrical hit Beat Box: A Raparetta (Wishbone Ent.), Smashmouth's performance of "All-Star" in the movie Rat Race (Universal), a touring gig with the now defunct rock/rap group Brougham (Warner Brothers) and acting as a DJ for many hip-hop acts including Double Life, Mr. Lif, Azeem, and Sacred Hoop. Simultaneously, the sturdy turntable veteran has compiled many studio productions earning him spots on several compilations including Cue's Hip-Hop Shop Vol. 2 (Stray), Turntables by The Bay Vol. 2 (Hip-Hop Slam), Amoeba Music Compilation Vol. 5 (Hip-Hop Slam), and DJ Zeph's Sunset Scavenger LP (Wide Hive). His mix tapes Mixed Feelings, Golden Aged Crates, Moving Company, and Politrix Mix won't disappoint and you can also hear his scratching on several songs including Double Life's "Revolutions" and "Cycles Of The Mind", Brougham's "Don't Speak English" and "Can't Sleep It Off", Felonious' "Punchlines", Gennessee's "Creative Control", and Aram Danesh and the Super Human Crew's "The Spot". Well-rounded is the best way to describe this particular DJ. Check for his upcoming EP entitled Clean Cut. Ask about him.
