BIOGRAPHY
For well over ten years, DJ Nu-Mark has been among Hip-Hop’s most
respected DJs and producers. Recognized for his membership in the
gold selling group Jurassic 5, Nu-Mark is best known for his
production on the raw anthem “What’s Golden” and the smooth and
soulful “Work It Out,” featuring Dave Matthews. Additionally, his
innovative DJ routines and creative on-stage antics have made him a
favorite of crowds all over the world.
Nu-Mark is responsible for half of the production of Jurassic 5’s
entire body of work: Jurassic 5 EP (1997), Quality Control (2000),
Power In Numbers (2002), and Feedback (2006). He has also released
his own projects, independent of the group: Blend Crafters, an
instrumental album created in the spirit of allowing beats to speak
for themselves, and Hands On, a mix-CD. Hands On assembles a
diverse and eclectic set of sounds, everything from soulful breaks
to comedic skits, as well as classic underground jams, and includes
a special section devoted to hip-hop from around the world. By
turns hilarious and impressive, this project displays both
Nu-Mark’s eccentric sense of humor and his devotion to solid,
simply dope music. Currently, Nu-Mark is placing his beats on a
number of projects in a variety of genres.
Nu-Mark began DJing as a teenager in Los Angeles. Over the course
of the last two decades, he has amassed a collection of over 35,000
records and refined his technical skills and performance style to
the point where he is widely recognized as one of the key figures
in the late-90s DJ explosion which pushed the DJ to the front of
the culture’s awareness. As a result of this distinction, Nu-Mark
has been featured in a diversity of publications and in several
films: the critically acclaimed documentary “Scratch,” “KeepinTime”
(which features impromptu collaborations with Mad Lib, Cut-Chemist,
Babu, J-Rocc, and drummers James Gatson and Paul Humphrey),
“Coachella: The Movie,” and “Rock the Bells – The Documentary.”
Today, Nu-Mark is well-known for his innovative plays on sound –
attaching a rubber band to his turntable’s needle and playing it
like an upright bass or tapping on the turntable’s dust cover to
simulate a bass drum. Incorporating a wide range of musical styles
– soul, funk, hip-hop, and samba effortlessly blended together –
Nu-Mark revels in surprising an audience with a forgotten gem, an
unknown banger, or a fresh take on a well-known hit. From Sao Paolo
to Sydney, from Toronto to Tokyo, Nu-Mark’s carefully crafted,
explosively energetic DJ sets never fail to get a party rocking.
