DJ Faust

FAUST (Heavy Artillery Recordings | Urban Assault | Faust&Shortee) “DJ Faust presents one of the most unbelievable scratch presentations in an album format ever!” XLR8R MAGAZINE “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 “DJ Faust may very well be the most original turntablist to put tracks on wax in years.” CMJ NEW MUSIC MONTHLY FAUST is one of SPIN's Top 13 Turntablists In The World -- ranked # 5!! “Faust’s scratches, juggles, and even skipping records coalesce into one giant itchy symphony with movement 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.” iMUSIC “Dj Faust’s ‘MAN OR MYTH?’ is a dazzlingly virtuosic showcase for the subterranean DJ scene.” ROLLING STONE Much like his mythological philosopher-magician namesake, DJ Faust is ahead of the learning curve.
