DJs Celskiii and Deeandroid have been staples of the Bay Area hip-hop scene for over 15 years. Products of the fertile turntablism movement of the late-90s, Celskiii and Deeandroid have been tour DJs for KRS-One and have twice competed in the US DMC Team Battles, placing second in 2010. Since 2003 they've also fostered a space for other DJs to collaborate and advance their craft with the monthly event Skratchpad. In this episode of Art School, we visit Celskiii and Deeandroid in their Vallejo studio. Listen in as they talk about their Bay Area influences, their responsibility to their audience, and why vinyl records still reign supreme. For other Art School episodes: www.kqed.org/artschool
