Details:
“In Faust’s hands, turntablism is as breakneck virtuosic as bebop, as bereft of melody as
modern classical– but way to committed to putting the boogie in your butt for the curatorial
staff to start sniffin’ around.”
SPIN MAGAZINE
“Faust, able to adapt turntables as a musical instrument, creates a dimension of sound and
imagination that teleports the listener into a surreal world of music.”
MUZIK MAGAZINE
“Faust puts old-school hip-hop through a Technics blender for an accelerated history lesson
that’s too damn funky for your room.”
ALTERNATIVE PRESS
“Faust’s scratches, juggles, and even skipping records coalesce into one giant itchy symphony
withmovement after movement of next-level skills taking the listener on an aural voyage through
Faust’s ill psyche.”
VICE MAGAZINE
“Along with the arrival of the new millennium comes the advancement of music and how the
world creates it. A world reigned by DJ Faust.”

FAUST''S BIO:
Much like his mythological philosopher-magician namesake, DJ Faust is ahead of the learning
curve. In 1998, Faust made history with the release of the first full-length, all-scratching album in
history, the critically lauded Man Or Myth. This was followed by a joint EP release alongside
Shortee & Craze entitled The Fathomless EP, the first musical release containing Drum & Bass
tracks comprised solely of scratching.
In 1999, Faust released his second full- length Inward Journeys, showcasing his original beat
making skills even more while still incorporating the turntablist trickery he was known for. He has
since released multiple joint albums with DJ Shortee (Digital Soul & Satisfaction Guaranteed),
singles, remixes, countless mix cds & appeared on numerous compilations ("Urban Revolutions",
"Return of the DJ 3", "Revenge of the B-Boy", Ubisoft’s "XIII Soundtrack", "Scratch Movie
Soundtrack", "Tino Breaks Vol 1 & 2", "Bomb Anniversary Collection 1991-2001", "Deep
Concentration 3", "Contents Under Pressure", etc…Most recently Faust''s "Sudden Deeath" track
appeared on EA Sport''s "All Pro" soundtrack. Also, Faust & Shortee broke into the Drum & Bass
scene producing under the aliad name URBAN ASSAULT with their ultrafunky dance floor tune "Away", with big follow up releases in 2008 on UK''s
Easy Records "Jungle Story" album. Most recently their alias Urban Assault productions include "Do You Believe" remix, a 12" single on Restless Natives as well as the "Crank" remix ft MC Skibadee & "EZ Run Tings" as a 12" on Easy Records.

Nation, Headline News & the esteemed World Cup 2002. The duo''s song "Drumcircle"

Faust’s mix is seamless whether he appears solo or part of a group & is well-known for his
