JFB.

27Nov09

I thought no better headline than the name of the man himself, JFB. Simply one of the best turntablists I have heard. This guy seems to be able to take anything, cut it up, reverse it and scratch it with scissors, yet it still comes out sounding good. 

JFB reigns from Brighton, England. He has been on the decks for over 10 years now, starting out as a Jungle/Drum’n’Bass DJ playing on pirate radio and going on to play venues all over the world as well as winning The Uk Dmc Championship 2007 & Vestax Championship 2003 which is taken as no surprise when you see him hands on.

JFB doesn’t only come to play out a standard DJ Set either, he and Beardyman run one of the most groundbreaking nights on the planet. Battlejam. Using a ridiculous amount of equipment JFB and Beardyman create improvised music on the spot using samples from the crowd and guest musicains. JFB can record anything on the spot and instantly scratch it, the most basic but efective example is Beardyman beatboxing and JFB recording then beatjuggling or scratching whilst Beardyman layers it with something else to create original material in a live jam session.

JFB is a man of many talents and producing good Drum’n’Bass tunes is one of them. He has hooked us up with a mix to download, but make sure you check out his Myspace and BeatPort for the latest tracks, news & info on JFB.
