## Resource

History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 142: Shortkut is a legendary DJ from Daly City. He's a member of Invisibl Skratch Piklz with Qbert, Mix Master Mike, Apollo and more; and also part of Beat Junkies along with J Rocc, Babu, and Rhettmatic. Shortkut got his start doing mobile DJing at garage parties and eventually ended up rocking venues at the height of San Francisco's club scene. Not only does he blend and rock parties, but he's a certified scratch DJ and turntablist. In 2024 he suffered a life-threatening stroke that left him partially paralyzed, but he bounced back through physical therapy and continues to DJ around the world. -- Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dregsone Subscribe to our clips channel: https://youtube.com/@UCYR1ormrdd-9gFSUoZgv3wA --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com -- History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aa Online Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlA Instagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_one TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_one Twitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_one Facebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone415 00:00 Recent party with Qbert 02:32 Growing up in Daly City 06:04 Early hip-hop DJs 15:52 Filipinos & DJing 20:52 Learning how to DJ 23:44 Mobile DJing & garage parties 28:03 Invisibl Skratch Piklz 34:21 SF clubs in the ‘90s 38:56 Differences in today’s club scene 45:23 ISP vs X-Ecutioners 47:48 Beat Junkies 55:38 DJing for rappers? 57:58 New generation of DJs 1:04:01 Touring with LL Cool J 1:07:14 Recovering from a stroke 1:17:30 New ISP album
