DJ Babu

DJ Babu is a legendary DJ, producer, and turntablist best known as a founding member of the hip-hop group Dilated Peoples and his affiliation with the World Famous Beat Junkies crew. Hailing from Los Angeles, Babu (born Chris Oroc) carved out a reputation as a master of gritty, sample-driven beats and razor-sharp scratching, becoming a cornerstone of underground hip-hop in the late '90s and 2000s. His *Duck Season* and *Beat Tape* instrumental series have become staples for crate-diggers and producers, showcasing his knack for flipping obscure grooves into head-nodding gold.

When he’s not dropping needle-on-wax magic, Babu stays busy with his *Super Duper Duck Flips* remix projects and collaborative edits (like the *#MLVN* series), proving he’s still got endless tricks up his sleeve. Whether he’s crafting dusty loops for MCs or keeping the decks on fire, DJ Babu remains a low-key icon who lives and breathes the art of the beat.
