GREEN BARON

Jungle Turntablism
Tuff Customers Vinyl DJ Crew – Midwest USA

  G. Baron performs in the original unadulterated way on a traditional battle style DJ set up with vinyl records and a few select Jungle dub-plates of his own creation.  With a passion for turntablism he incorporates scratching and turntablist style battle tricks into his performances.  He produces Jungle and to preserve the art he has his Jungle releases put on vinyl to integrate into his performances.  His journey began in the late 90's and over the years his bookings have taken him all over the country.  He has headlined and performed along side some of the world's top DJ's and music producers.  For several years Baron had a residency on 87.9fm Harbor Wave Radio where he learned the art of combat from experienced turntablist on the Thursday Night Throw-down all vinyl show.  Out of Baron's love for DJing he created The Tuff Customers Vinyl DJ Crew.  Recently G. Baron has been preparing for battle by focusing on turntablism, entering DJ battles, producing Jungle, and getting dubs cut to add to his battle crate keeping it locked and loaded.  Playing new, classic, and original Jungle on vinyl Baron is always ready to battle from the moment the needle drops till the last beat stops Green Baron is dropping the hottest wax live on wheels of steel.
