Cut Chemist is one of the ablest solo turntablists on the globe. Whenever one mentions Cut Chemist, ‘legend’ is usually the first word that comes to mind. 

If we look at Discogs today, Cut shows up with 705 credits, and his record collection is in the 30,000 range. 

We sat down and chatted about the James Bond soundtracks he picked up as a kid, the first pressed record of his, which he sold out of the trunk of his Honda, the epic show with DJ Shadow headlining the Hollywood Bowl, and, of course, about his favorite and most cherished records.

Make sure to listen to some of the tracks Cut mentions through the accompanying playlist on the Toneoptic Spotify channel.
