J Rocc

One of the original turntablists, J Rocc (aka 'Funky President', by the way) founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, with the group becoming a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop. Rocc himself, however, has done just as much on his own as in a group setting, refining a crossover style that appeals to a wide range of genre enthusiasts. Catch his heavy-hitting beats at Shibuya's Vision, where local forces Muro, Kiyo, DJ Kensei and company will be on hand to provide support.
