An ever prolific indie/alternative DJ and track-maker, DJ BAKU's foundation is Hip Hop with a healthy dose of turntablism. His highly-acclaimed mix series released on his own label, DIS-DEFENSE DISC, has become something of a collector's item. In April 2005, he released “Kaikoo” a documentary five years in the making, detailing many of his collaborations with a wide range of artists; all edited himself, including the soundtrack. After its release, the DVD became type of “youth Bible.” In June 2006, he released his long-awaited first album, “SPINHEDDZ” on POPGROUP Recordings, which reach No. 1 on the Tower Records Indie chart. Later in the same year, he performed with D-Style, Kid Koala and Q-Bert. In December that year, DJ BAKU joined forces with the legendary Guitar Wolf, releasing the single, “ULTRA CROSS Vol. 3”, on Sony Music. In 2007, BAKU embarked on a new project, assuming the alias, “Noizd Phank”, incorporating a variety of foreign artists like Bug (ex Techno Animal) to do remixes.
Lastly, in 2008 will see the release of DJ BAKU's second album, “Dharma Dance”. Along with his forte, sampling, BAKU has introduced the usage of guitar, bass, drums, and Chinese stringed instruments like the er hu, as well as a diverse range other natural/acoustic instruments in his new album. Also, the BPM of his new tracks are drastically higher than ever before. His second album will integrate elements of both Hip Hop and Rock to create an explosive new dance music creation. Look for “Dharma Dance” , on POPGROUP Recordings this April 5, 2008!
