History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 142: Shortkut is a legendary DJ from Daly City. He's a member of Invisibl Skratch Piklz with Qbert, Mix Master Mike, Apollo and more; and also part of Beat Junkies along with J Rocc, Babu, and Rhettmatic. Shortkut got his start doing mobile DJing at garage parties and eventually ended up rocking venues at the height of San Francisco's club scene. Not only does he blend and rock parties, but he's a certified scratch DJ and turntablist. In 2024 he suffered a life-threatening stroke that left him partially paralyzed, but he bounced back through physical therapy and continues to DJ around the world.--Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dregsoneSubscribe to our clips channel: https://youtube.com/@UCYR1ormrdd-9gFSUoZgv3wA --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Recent party with Qbert02:32 Growing up in Daly City 06:04 Early hip-hop DJs15:52 Filipinos & DJing20:52 Learning how to DJ23:44 Mobile DJing & garage parties28:03 Invisibl Skratch Piklz34:21 SF clubs in the ‘90s38:56 Differences in today’s club scene45:23 ISP vs X-Ecutioners47:48 Beat Junkies55:38 DJing for rappers?57:58 New generation of DJs 1:04:01 Touring with LL Cool J1:07:14 Recovering from a stroke1:17:30 New ISP album
