DJ Curious

Born and raised in Los Angeles, DJ Curious? (CRS?) began DJing in 1989 as the city's underground scene was taking shape. Raised around music through his father's work as a recording engineer at Hollywood's Sound Factory, he started playing drums at age eight and was drawn to DJ culture early, receiving his first turntables at thirteen. His style draws from hip hop, reggae, soul, and the full spectrum of jungle and drum and bass, and he has built a reputation as a versatile selector who refuses to be boxed into one sound. As founder of Tonz of Drumz Recordings, a Mictlan Recording artist, and a longtime presence at Insomniac, Wreck-Ignition, Midnite Bombers, and Non-Stop events, he became one of LA's most respected junglists. Curious? has released music internationally, including work on his own Herbn' Music, APX1's Ghetto Life label, and Top Cat's UK-based 9 Lives imprint, and has performed alongside a wide range of major artists across both drum and bass and hip hop.
