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.
