Another Monday rolls around, and we here at Def Jux have much to report.

For starters, the photo you see above, care of our friends over at Shabooty.com, is from a DJ Big Wiz interview that is absolutely worth the read....

"What do you think of the “cd” DJs that scratch cds?
I think if it’s somebody that has real skills and is using a cd table that really works like a turntable, it’s cool. The only difference then is that the needle can’t skip but the skills still have to be there. Whether scratching with a cd table or real turntable, the technique is still the same. Same hand/fader movement, etc."

Also, speaking of DJ Big Wiz, the Aesop Rock Daytrotter sessions which includes five exclusives  (including a DJ Big Wiz improv) went up today. The exclusives are accompanied but a fantastic biography, also worth a once over while you download...

"Aesop Rock, one of the country’s finest hip-hop men, is an expert puppeteer when it comes presenting these riddles and making them less daunting than it would be in leaping from rocks into a blue sea breeze followed by water or the ledge of a building’s floor, near the tops of electrical wires and neon signs, leveled off by window panes and steel..."

And finally Chin Chin has been getting all kinds of online shine for their free single 'GG and the Boys' off the upcoming album. Impose Magazine writes...

"I have no idea how Chin Chin’s CMJ showcase at Max Fish went down, but I hope some of the women in attendance got pregnant after the show. There was free PBR, and Chin Chin is that type of music.

I have been listening to a lot of Isaac Hayes lately. Guess I’m just in the mood for love, as his dramatic arrangements (birthed from the soul) are unparalleled. I would never suggest that Chin Chin is an extension of such brilliance, but Chin Chin went to the Chef’s culinary school."
