One of the best all-around djs in the music scene today, DJ Vajra has earned a place among the industry's elite. Whether it's through competing in some of the biggest battles in the world, dropping hype breaks for the b-boys, or touring with Rawkus recording artists The Procussions, fans are quickly learning why he has become DJ Q-Bert's "Favorite dj in the world". The name Vajra strikes fear into the hearts of djs in the battle realm. His skills have earned him many accolades over the years including becoming the 2002 WSTC world champion, winning 4 DMC titles, and earning a coveted spot in the Allies All-Star Beatdown world finals in London, England. Before beginning his decorated battle career, Vajra became well known for spinning discs on Colorado radio. During his time spent as resident dj on "Basementalism" the show earned syndication to a worldwide audience. When Tablist magazine reviewed his classic cd, titled "Saul Good the Mixtape," they were blown away, stating "Vajra makes this one a head nodder. Interspersed with funky-ass breaks and superfly scratches, this one definitely gets heavy rotation." His mix cds have been heavily distributed throughout North America, Japan, and Europe. Vajra's new CD "The Hydef Mixtape" will be available October 2006! Crowds have been amazed by his live performances, sharing the spotlight with such legendary acts as RUN DMC, Digable Planets, Common, and Mos Def. Vajra continues to push the envelope of what can be done with turntables during his live shows, doing things the average dj would never think to try. In 2006 Vajra will be touring the country with A Tribe Called Quest as the dj for Los Angeles based group The Procussions. His turntable techniques are always heavily showcased, whether its during the Pros set, or hitting the stage as a solo artist. Don't miss your opportunity to watch him do his thing when in your area!
