 DeeJay Random first learnt to scratch at the age of 14 and has been a hip-hop/scratch DJ, professionally, since 1986. His style is un-orthodox, to say the least, and is usually pretty aggressive. He loves to cut breaks and trash funk records, fuck around with strange drum breaks, battle geeks and smash to pieces anyone stupid enough to try and fuck him over. His un-orthodoxness will carnagerize any wishy washy bullshit you may think you have invented.

Trust him.... he is, after all, a professional.

DeeJay Random has appeared on several vinyl releases including the critically acclaimed "Pubs, Drunks and Hip Hop" by Diversion Tactics, "Roll Call" by The Steel Devils and Diversion Tactics, "Eye to Eye" by the Procryptix, "Serious" by Dr Zygote and Verb T, "Madam Swish" by Labrat, "All City Kings" by Jazz T, "Aqualung" by Naba Napalm "Power Cosmic" by Galactus (Kashmere), "Careful on the way up" by Diversion Tactics and has several collaborations in the pipeline with Mike Bandoni, Funkshone, The Beatnuts, Diversion Tactics, King Of The Beats, Dr Zygote, Naba, Sparkii Ski, Solomon Caine and the legendary Kings Of Bork online radio show.
