DJ Nu-Mark
A playful DJ who makes a compelling argument for recognizing the turntable as a valid musical instrument, Nu-Mark long ago cemented his standing as hip-hop royalty via his work with Jurassic 5, where he worked alongside Cut Chemist juggling half the production duties—and eventually all of them, when Chemist left before 2006’s Feedback. Before and after Jurassic 5’s split, Nu-Mark helped develop the idea of the DJ as more than just that dude standing at the back of the stage scratching up soul samples, whether that meant incorporating children’s toys into the mix, using a rubber band to mimic the sound of an upright bass, or just effortlessly folding disparate genres together in the service of the groove.
