One of the foremost innovators of Skratching, (and the creator of the word “Turntablist”) DJ DISK not only remains one of the most technically impressive DJ’s in the world today, he has also single-handedly expanded the musical sensibility of Skratching, allowing for a instrument that was traditionally relegated to the background of Hip Hop, to be re-considered as a powerful and modern tool of musical expression. If Jazz has its Miles Davis, then Hip Hop has its DJ DISK.
Born in San Francisco in the 1970’s DJ DISK first discovered the idea of Turntableism by manipulating an old wooden turntable consul in his parents living room. DISK continued his exploration with his “instrument” and by the age of 11 was competing in SF DJ Battles and was considered a rising star throughout the then rapidly rising underground San Francisco Hip Hop scene.
But it was not until the early 90’s when DISK, pared with other embryonic turntable greats like DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike and Flare, formed one of the most important and influential Turntable “Groups” in the history of the genre: THE INVISIBL SKRATCH PIKLZ. Lead by DISK (and colored by his insistence for musical innovation) the PIKLZ wild and frenetic exploration of hardcore Hip Hop would eventually set the bar for all other aspiring Turntable musicians. This “band” of Turntablist’s crafted their own unique D.I.Y sensibility and aesthetic (creating their own raw radio and TV show) and eventually became synonymous with all cutting edge Hip Hop performance and production. It’s widely known in Skratch circles that the Disco Mix Club (DMC), an international DJ association, asked the PIKLZ’s to stop entering in their DJ competitions, since they were discouraging other DJs from even bothering to enter. Disk would also create a master piece called ‘ DEMOLITION PUMKIN SQEEZE MUSIK for Qbert to make it one of the greatest mix tape of all time “
After leaving the PIKLZ in 98 Disk hungered for new associations that would further stretch his musical abilities. Disk first started his successful solo career by releasing two classic albums of “Turntablist” expression, releasing albums under the EL STEW (1999) and PHONOSYCOGRAPH (1998) monikers. Disk then extensively toured with famed Producer Bill Laswell, playing alongside some of the worlds most respected Indian musicians (Zakir Hussain, Ulstad Sultan Khan) in Laswell’s famed TABLA BEAT SCIENCE, exposing his Turntabist genere to cultures in India, Dubai, Lebannon, China Russia and many others. Disk also toured worldwide with famed Jazz great HERBIE HANCOCK, improvising wildly against the Jazz masters piano textures to create a new space yet unheard in contemporary Jazz.
DISK has been involved in over 100 released recorded works and has continued to tour extensively with a wide range of musicians, representing a myriad of genres (Primus, Serge – System Of A Down, Wayne Shorter, Nora Jones, Mike Patton..to name just a few) and has released over 30 live DVD’s of his work, creating a fan base of devoted and dedicated followers. His rare Break Beat EP’s are still considered some of the great templates for young DJ’s to practice their craft on and are treasured by the underground Hip Hop community.
In 2006 ” long over due said GRANDMIXER DXT ” DISK was knighted as the 3rd GRANDMASTER in HIP HOP history next to QBERT and ROC RAIDER ” DISK has recently completed filming on “Sympathy For Delicious” a major motion picture with ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE MARK RUFFALO and is currently working on his latest recorded project (over 5 years in the making) entitled “PATU”.

Showbiz & A.G. – Soul Clap
1992, Mercury Records
lyrics:
Just clap your hands to the beatbox (4x)
Verse one (A.G.)
The giant is greater,
So step back i know you were told black,
About the soul clap and i’ma keep climbin g with beats that’s fat,
Cause that’s Showbiz and Diamond D
Don’t believe all the heresay
Cause i’ma get the airplay while the fans say yeah ’Dre!
And I’m on the lyrical tip
For you to whip the giant,
That’ll be a miracle whip
So everybody crowd around
And let’s all get down, to the soul clap sound
So pump your fist, here we go
Showbiz & A.G. so act like you know
A combination of the new and the old rap
Me Showbiz and Diamond D yeah we got the soul clap
Just clap your hands to the beatbox (4x)
Aiyyo, can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!i said can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon! c’mon!
Verse two (A.G.)
I love hip-hop, not rock and roll
Yeah I’m a giant, and I got lots of soul
I’ve been a giant since I was a kid
They always thought I was big from the damage that I did
I roll up rappers like a dt
And don’t worry yo, because the brothers can’t see me
Light-skinned curly hair I keep dwellin
I don’t care about my hair, my records are sellin
A.G., my right hand man is Kay-Gee
Kenny Dope you know, Marley Marl is my little bro
Infinite he’s in effect
Big Ty is snappin necks, better yet he’s packin tecs
Yeah they sleep, they can’t quite tell
They know that I’m short, but do they know that
I fight well those who diss me, that’s ok
Because my jam is gonna slam and I don’t care what you say
A giant in the mental, yeah you know that
And I’m hangin with this new one and it’s called the soul clap
Just clap your hands to the beatbox (4x)
Aiy-aiyyo, can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!i said, can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon! c’mon!
Verse three (A.G.)
I do work, at any God damn concert
And if you said that I didn’t, then I got jerked
You musta asked the wrong people
Cause when I make my stand every man knows that I’m lethal
Never back down, my crew’s in the background
I get hyped when Showbiz lays the tracks down
When I’m finished, you’ll say he’s the mack
Cause I’m raw and my God damn beats are fat
Yeah I’m a giant, that’s what you better say
You don’t believe me then go check my resume
I done killed more suckers than a world war
And even more, after a world tour
From state to state, sea to sea
On every continent,
I’m a g-i-a-n-t
I’m A.G. yeah the one you can’t hold back
You want your party to pump?
Then throw on the soul clap
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!i said can I get a soul clap?
C’mon!can I get a soul clap?
C’mon! c’mon!
