Jack The Tripper - DJ Apollo

DJ APOLLO.. is a hip hop legend and musical pioneer who helped lay the foundation for the subculture known as turntablism. Born in the Philippines and raised in San Francisco, Apollo is a jack of all trades known for his many musical styles, from hip hop to R&B, soul, funk, breaks, 80's, disco, and rap. He was one of the first DJs to experiment with the turntable as a musical instrument, which helped elevate the skill into an artform and turn the DJ into a musician. Because of this, Apollo also became one of the first DJs to be member of a live jazz band.
