DJJD is a performer and composer who brings eastern and west-coast mentalities together, centering them and cracking them open to reveal the crunk beneath more vigorous backbeat-driven dancehall. A student of jazz guitar, West African percussion and voice, his once-ambient sound was steeped in the Guinean and Malian sounds of Boston master djembe drummers Alan Tauber and Joh Camara for four years before he moved to San Francisco in 05. There, the local currents of intense mid-tempo dubcore have given his live sets of laptop madness an otherworldly ambiance.
