Three One G

This episode is a conversation with producer, DJ, and turntablist D-Styles (Invisibl Skratch Piklz, Beat Junkies, Third Sight) They talk about the connection between death metal and turntablism, Mix Master Mike and the Beastie Boys, creating grimy beats from 50 cent records, and letting music do the talking over expensive gear. They also cover the Beat Junkie Institute of Sound, which is a DJ school in the Los Angeles area open to people of all ages started by D-Styles and the Beat Junkies. Finally, they discuss how innovators pull from different worlds, grabbing from what's around them to create something new, and the hunger that comes from artists who start out with broken homes and broken gear. The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G Records), author, and actor. He is perhaps best known as bassist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Some Girls as well as vocalist for Deaf Club, Swing Kid
