The 2nd instalment of ‘The Chop Shop’ comes from Californian born & Cork based Justin O’ Donnell aka ‘Jus Me’. The winner of The C.I.T. ‘Hit The Decks’ competition in 2005 offers up a grittier approach with his submission all cut, scratched, dropped & blended together in his own particular way. To date he’s aired his wares in ‘The Savoy’, ‘Club Isobar’, ‘Lebowski’s’, ‘The L.V’ & with the ‘Elementary crew’. Expect to see & hear more from him as he’s on turntable duties for the revered Tralee based hip hop group ‘Lineage’. (www.myspace.com/thelineagekrew) Inspiration wise he cites Kid Koala, The C2C DJ.Team along with DJ.Shadow & Cut Chemist’s ‘Brainfreeze’ project as influences. So expect a similar approach here. The collection is a bit disjointed in places but always interesting & one of the most unique mixes I’ve heard in a long time.
