Born from the industrial powers of Dayton, Ohio, Ruckus Roboticus has risen to unleash his fury of funk, hip-hop and mischief. Part turntable, half drum-machine, all sex machine; the robotic wonder has continually electrified listeners with his colorful and imagniative world of sound.
When he’s not busy remixing Bloc Party, or winning awards from Rockstar Games (Best DJ Mix 2003), Solid Steel (Best Mix 2003, 2008), and Scion (Free-Up-Your-Mix Finalist 2005), this bot can be found tearing the roof off of your local dancehall, art gallery, fashion show, and houseparty with a fierce live-set. His sharp skills and diverse selection have landed him countless shows across the country. Perhaps you’ve caught him on stage with RJD2, The Juan Maclean, Prince Paul, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Cosmo Baker, DJ Ayres, Dj Premiere, or Mr. Lif. Or, Maybe you have unkowingly bobbed your head to his beats featured on Nickelodeon, MTV, The Disney Channel, Numark, and LOGO. It’s no wonder some people call him ‘the second hardest working man in show business.’
