   About MACHETE


DJ MACHETE is a staple in the Los Angeles Jungle/Drum and Bass scene.
He began his musical career spinning as DJ Rob G.(not the hardcore DJ) back in 1992,
playing hip-hop at infamous after hours spots like No-Doz, What?, and Caffiend.
The Los Angeles underground rave scene was in its infancy then and Rob was inspired by the burgeoning techno-breakbeat culture emerging out of England via local DJs:
RAW,CURIOUS, and OSCAR DA GROUCH.
These 'Jungle' beats that evolved from frantic old-school breaks layered with hip-hop/reggae vocal-snippets intrigued Rob and pulled him in a new direction.

Around '93-'94, he helped form JUNGLIST PLATOON with his close circle of friends. These die-hard 'Junglists' could be seen at just about every underground event, giving out stickers and wearing t-shirts bearing their name. Rob G., urged by his peers, decided to change his DJ name to MACHETE due to the nature of his mixing and cuttin skills. "What better way to cut thru our urban jungle soundscapes than with a Machete?" He then began putting JUNGLIST PLATOON on the map by getting booked at nearly every Jungle event in the Greater Los Angeles area.

MACHETE has also flexed skills in Hawaii, Vancouver, and cities across the continental US including New York, Miami, Texas, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and many more. He made history as one of the first Jungle/DnB DJs flown to perform in Anchorage-Alaska, alongside San Francisco's SAGE, and has been fortunate to play on the same bill with heavyweights such as DIESELBOY, ANDY C, DJ HYPE, LTJ BUKEM, and RONI SIZE. MACHETE was also a featured artist on various dates of the now infamous KUNG FU KNOWLEDGE TOUR of 1999 w/ fellow scratch technician DJ CRAZE and the legendary ROB PLAYFORD.

In March of 1999, the JUNGLIST PLATOON started a weekly event called RESPECT
with MACHETE as head of talent bookings as well as resident DJ. In 2000, Rob helped organize a RESPECT event in Miami at the Winter Music Conference, which successfully placed the RESPECT name in the worlds eyes and ears. After 9 years, RESPECT is the longest running Jungle/DnB weekly in Los Angeles as well as being one of the most successful in the United States. RESPECT is globally known for bringing the best in international and stateside talent.

Circa 2000, Los Angeles saw the birth Cal-Tek Recordings, a label formed to push the sound of JUNGLIST PLATOON. The first release, CTR001, featured original tunes by MACHETE and DJ CLUTCH engineered by SENSE.

Now in 2009, MACHETE the DJ is busier than ever, occasionally opening for mainstream Hip-Hop acts at LA's House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.
Combined with DJ residencies at RESPECT, one-off events such as ENGAGE, his DnB websource www.machete-media.net
and production projects coming out of CAL-TEK studios prove his versatility as an artist.
MACHETE's longevity speaks for his talents and dedication, which has surely solidified his place in the world Drum and Bass scene.

AA.VV._THE DUB BOX Vol.2_DBOX RECORDS_ [DBX007]

Out: 16/12/09



Artist: De Niro – Mother Inc.- Numa Crew - Maurs
Title: The Dub Box Vol.2
Label: Dbox records
Format: Digital
Cat n°: DBX007

The Dub Box Vol.2 consists of 4 Dubstep tracks that highlight the strong personality of artists;
different to each other but united by a great sound impact and hypnotic sequences as in "Misstech", a perfect example of technodub, with rhythmic beat, perfect for the dancefloor or Liberation a track of absolute quality with very strong bass and broken rhythm.
Mother Inc.’s Infinity moves instead in an very electro-melodic atmosphere with an excellent arrangement and Numa Crew while we face the sounds and rhythms of more classical dubstep sound.

The Dub Box vol.2 is another important piece in the growth of dubstep scene in Italy: in this release strength and originality are seen at their best!
