The theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ LOGIC, whom with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and sprinkling his sound across the map. As one of the world's most accomplished turntablist's, DJ LOGIC is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip - hop realms and is considered by most as a highly respected session musician and an innovative bandleader. Since his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations ranging from the likes of: MEDESKI MARTIN AND WOOD, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE, O.A.R., CARLY SIMON, MARCUS MILLER, JACK JOHNSON, VERNON REID, WARREN HAYNES, CHARLIE HUNTER, JACK DeJOHNETTE, JOHN MAYER, BEN HARPER, MOS DEF and THE ROOTS, to name but a few. DJ LOGIC and his role as an electronic-music ambassador keeps him at the top of his game. Whether the scratch artist instructs tablas to flirt with drum 'n' bass (such as on his NINA SIMONE and BILLY HOLIDAY remixes found on Sony Legacy's Remixed and Reimagined volumes) , or while meshing free styling MC's with Afro-Cuban rhythms (such as on 'Share Worldwide Funk' - a remix produced for JACK DeJOHNETTE and Golden Beams Collected, Volume 1 ) , LOGIC can always be found paying homage to his predecessors while contributing his vision to the deejay genre. While the context of his work may vary, DJ LOGIC'S spinning skills are definitely beyond reproach. He works with a phenomenal roster of invited guests, and he knows how to pick his collaborators as well as his samples. With a growing catalogue of recordings under his belt, DJ LOGIC'S supreme musicianship and eclectic tastes will allow him to journey wherever an infectious groove may take him.

"It's a concoction that sounds like nothing else, and it's also proof that the turntable is definetly not just for playing records - and that DJ's are more than just hipsters with iPods." - Eddie Fleisher - Alternative Press "Logic is a king collaborator and session band necessity who is acknowledged for introducing jazz into the hip hop scene...He's constantly working to either introduce color and flare into vintage jazz vinyl tracks or push the boundaries of a classically-trained studio collage." - Tasha King, This Week In Denver "Using his encyclopedic knowledge of recordings and devising mixes that work as an underlying rhythm section, he has created a style all his own." - Beth Peerless, Monterey County Herald "Project Logic is an aromatic, automatic, instinctual modern jazz vision, fused with an alien strain and the grit of hip-hop. The spinner makes needle and vinyl cry out, mutating words and rhtyms into an exquisite blur." - A.D. Amorosi, Philadelphia City Paper "DJ Logic provides a glimpse into the future and has develped an improvisiational style fiercely attentive to pitch, rhtythm and space...his debut album, "Project Logic" might be describrted as the ultimate turntablist jazz record" - Robin D.G. Kelley, New York Times "If Miles Davis were still alive and in need of a turntablist, it would make sense for him to hire New York native Jason Kibler, aka DJ Logic. Logic is a DJ who, like the legendary trumpeter, consistently stretches the boundaries of the musical landscape with his instrument of choice. And like his idol, Logic doesn't feel constrained by convention of genre: watching him live you see a hip-hop DJ, a jazz DJ, a funk DJ, a rock DJ and mostly....a musician" - James Mayo, Denver Westowrd "Two things you should know by now: 1) the Technics 1200 direct-drive turntable is the last great jazz instrument of the 20th century and 2) "DJ" (master level: turntablist) is just another word for jazz improviser... In this spirit-cosmic continuum, Satchmo = Grandmaster Flash, Bird = Marley Marl, Miles = DJ Logic." - Tom Terrell, JazzTimes Magazine "The music represents ‘90s fusion at its most furtively wigged out and pancultural hip-hop at its most traditional -- and it cooks like hell." - Jon Dolan, CMJ "Logic's first solo disc, an astonishing mix of live instrumentation and turntable wizardry, confirms the supreme musicality at which his guest appearances have only hinted." - Ezra Gale, SF Weekly "Simply put, this is cutting-edge cutmastery." - Robin A. Rothman, Request "Highly recommended for adventurous ears." - Steve Graybow, Billboard Magazine "...Logic is the Miles Davis to Faust's James Brown, the John Fahey to Z-Trip's Eddie Van Halen." - Peter Shapiro, SPIN Magazine Departing from his jazz roots, Logic (in concert) becomes a purveyour of the best kind of electronica, fusing space rock elements, Cuban son and merengue rhythms, vocal loops reminiscent of Steve Reich, moments of Tijuana Brass and free imrov sax. Like the best turntablists, DJ Logic transcends the vinyl scratch and makes the turntable a polyphonic instrument" - Liz Spikol, Philadelphia Weekly "Performing renditions of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and "Higher Ground" and a JB's cover, Project Logic escaped description. Not mere cover tunes or direct samples by the DJ, these songs, like all the jazz-funk tunes perfromed last night, took on an entirely original and creative effect at times slipping into lenghty jams of what can only be described as psycedelic mish-mash, and eerie flute melodies layered over sweeping space sound effects and rolling cymbal crescendos. "It's like i'm tripping, but I'm not tripping." said one awed, spinning reveler." - Adam Hofmann, The Buffallo Beat "Logic's not just a skilled DJ, he's also a talented all-around musician. Eschewing flashy scratching displays, he fronts chunky hip-hop beat slinging, knob-twisting dub, and chaotic sound sculpting - sonic trademarks that've make him the man to call when jazz cats want to tap into the hip-hop zeitgeist. The results - both on the album and in concert - favor multi-textured grooves over highflying solos." - Michael Endelman, The Boston Phoenix "Project Logic is jazz fusion for the new millenium, and DJ Logic is the heir apparent to a long tradition of sound-shifting compsers - Monk, Miles, Hancock - who pair innovation iwth intelligent musical themes." - Matt Hutchinson, Charleston City Paper "Logic's ability to complement rhythm and harmonic changes creatively and with ease sets him apart from most others in his class; DJ Logic is more than just a pioneer - he's a master" - Dave Flomberg, Boulder Weekly
