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.
