I just saw RJD2 tonight.

And it was amazing. I have been listening to him for about 4 years now and this was the first time I had seen him live. Absolute perfect mix of DJ sampling and live music making. Such a great time. If you guys haven't listened to him, here's his most notable song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKJeLG8-M5I. He tore it up on the turntables tonight, it was an absolute blast.

Hey, if you're into a lot of "70's soul meets funky hip hop" instrumental stuff.. I would highly recommend checking out El Michels Affair. I just discovered them recently and have listening to a lot of their stuff on Amazon and YouTube. Some very excellent stuff.

Check out "Sounding Out The City," as well as "Enter the 37th Chamber" which is actual re-imagined interpretations of famous Wu-Tang Clan tunes (like C.R.E.A.M., Can It Be All So Simple, Heaven or Hell, etc).

RJD2, an absolute hometown hero for me!

Agreed. He started off the show in his "Commisioner Crotchbuttons" gag. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit, welder's mask and a sampler attached to his belt. He deftly made some impromptu rythms for us to get us warmed up. He also had a sampling deck that was overlaid with the Donkey Kong barrel screen, and he put on a mario puppet and remixed the Donkey Kong theme. Everyone went nuts. If anyone gets a chance to see him, please do it.

Saw him in Nashville a few years back right after Third Hand was released. Great show, so worth the drive up there to see him! Sadly I missed his tour this year, got a cold and was so out of it! Hope he keeps touring, want to see him again soon.
