DJ Yamin aka Ben Epstein has been Djing and Producing for over 12 years. His first instrument was the drum that he picked up at age 8. His love for Hip-Hop spawned his quest to find the source of all the samples that were being used in the songs he loved. Digging through the dusty record bins he discovered such artists such as Bill Withers, P-Funk and The Meters. He put his knowledge to use and started a radio show called "The Grooveyard" on WMFO which lasted for over 7 years. His first release as a producer was in 1994 with a breakbeat beat record called "5 Finger Breaks" produced alongside Moosaka. He has Dj'd with several Hip-Hop groups such as P.O.E. and III Kings and has opened up for such acts as Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Crown City Rockers and The Violent Femmes. He is the founder of Beats Not Bombs, a political organization that gathers artists and activists together to raise money and awareness for such groups as Amnesty International and Campaign to Ban Landmines.
