Much like his mythological philosopher-magician namesake, DJ Faust is ahead of the learning curve. In 1998, Faust made history with the release of the first full-length, all-scratching album in history, the critically lauded Man Or Myth. This was followed by a joint EP release alongside Shortee & Craze entitled The Fathomless EP, the first musical release containing Drum & Bass tracks comprised solely of scratching. In 1999, Faust released his second full- length Inward Journeys, showcasing his original beat making skills even more while still incorporating the turntablist trickery he was known for. He has since released multiple joint albums with DJ Shortee (Digital Soul & Satisfaction Guaranteed), singles, remixes, countless mix CDs & appeared on numerous compilations (Urban Revolutions, Return of the DJ 3, Revenge of the B-Boy, Scratch Movie Soundtrack, Tino Breaks Vol 1 & 2, Bomb Anniversary Collection 1991-2001, Deep Concentration 3 and Contents Under Pressure. Faust's contributions to Scratching, Beat Juggling and party rockin' earned him a spot in Doug Prays' award winning documentary SCRATCH (Palm Pictures) seen in theatres across the globe as well as networks HBO, VH1, Cinemax, Showtime, Sundance, Independent Film Channel and more. Faust has made media appearances on TV shows such as NBC's National TV Show "Hip Hop Nation", CNN's "Headline News" & throughout the friendly skies on CNN Inflight's "Showbiz This Month". Faust has shared the stage with high profile talent like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Method Man, Krs-One, Dilated Peoples, The X-ecutioners, Q-Bert, Craze, Z Trip and many, many others. He also performs regularly at The NAMM Show and The Remix Hotel. His sponsors include Tribal Gear, Rane, Shure, and Cakewalk.
