An early member of the world famous Beat Junkies, Melo-D from Los Angeles is one of our favorite turntablists/producers, always combining amazing technical skills and a diverse musical love to create a unique blend of hiphop, funk, jazz, and dub reggae. Melo-D, as part of the Beat Junkies crew, captured the Vestax World Champion title in 1995 & 1996 and the distinguished International Turntablist Federation (ITF) World Champion titles in 1997 & 1998. The Beat Junkies are the first & only turntable band to capture & defend this celebrated title 2 consecutive years.
