	as it stands right now (6.19.03, 3:47 AM) i am sort of an underground legend. a lot of people who know about music have heard of me, or have heard about me, or have seen a JOSHUAGABRIEL flyer or sticker. i am known for many different things: defeating a robot DJ in a human vs. machine DJ Battle; drawing tiny hieroglyphicesque drawings on pictures of Victoria's Secret models; having a big, messy JEWFRO; designing all of my own flyers; freestyling about great i am; being the only producer, drummer, guitarist, drummer, beatboxer, DJ, visual artist, graphic designer, filmmaker ever. BUT(!), right now i am probably best known as being the guy who plays the turntables and bongos at the same time. as far as i know i have invented this technique (someone somewhere is probably doing the same). i have heard of other DJs who play percussion over their beats, but none that use the crossfader to take the beat in and out while simultaneously hitting the drums. i started doing this about 3 years ago (i think). other musicians/DJs/music heads usually look they are going to faint when they see me do this. the rest of the people have no idea what i am doing - just some jew with big hair moving his hands real fast. this is a piece performed live in my room in one take. on the left turntable i have a track from a record called BATTLE WEAPONS (a french battle record presented by La Fondation & Tha All Tek Snatcha’s}. on the right turntable i have a live Ravi Shankar record that i have used about 10 trillion different ways so far. i have both records going, then i will take the crossfader hard right, taking out the beat record, and finishing the measure on just bongos and the sitar; then occasionally going back and forth between scratching and playing the bongos. do ya understanz???! you really need to see it to understand how it works. but it sounds like a total and complete new track. i will be putting up video of this technique soon on MP4.com, or you could come see me play at one of my turntable shows ya damn punk!
