DJ Babu
Born Christopher Oroc, DJ Babu is one of underground hip hop's true figureheads. A masterful turntablist and well respected beatmaker, Babu's cutting and production skills have left imprints all over the scene, but he's perhaps most known for his work with LA based collective Dilated Peoples. As Dilated Peoples, Dj Babu and MCs Raaka and Evidence have put out four albums of warm sounding, vinyl scented underground hip hop.
Like many hip hop producers, DJ Babu appreciates Reason's intuitive approach to making music, and it's been part of his arsenal since he first heard about it.
