Cut Chemist

Cut Chemist (Jurassic 5) comes to o2 ABC as a Scottish exclusive to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of "The Audience's Listening".

Cut Chemist became known through the Los Angeles-based rap group Unity Committee, and debuted on vinyl on the B-side of Unity Committee's 1993 single, 'Unified Rebelution'. The track, 'Lesson 4: The Radio' was an ovation of Double Dee and Steinski's 'Lessons 1-3.'

Preceding the vinyl release, Unity Committee formed Jurassic 5, along with another group, Rebels of Rhythm. Cut Chemist contributed avidly to the group, adding 'Lesson 6: The Lecture' to Jurassic 5's eponymous EP, and co-producing the entirety of the record. Between then and other releases, he explored remixing alongside DJ Shadow and Liquid Liquid, and performed doing outside work (sampling and scratching for Less Than Jake, and appearing with Ozomatli). From late 1996 to early 1997, Cut Chemist recorded his album debut, Live at Future Primitive Sound Session, with Shortkut of Invisibl Skratch Piklz.

In 2004, Cut Chemist's song 'Drums of Fire' was part of the soundtrack to Tony Hawk's Underground 2.

Cut Chemist's first full-length solo album, The Audience's Listening, was released on July 11, 2006. The album includes the pre-released song 'The Garden', which features a bossa nova style, vocals from Astrud Gilberto's Brazilian song 'Berimbau', and berimbau instrumentals.

The song 'The Audience Is Listening Theme Song' from The Audience's Listening has been featured in a 2G Apple iPod nano advertisement.

Cut Chemist made an appearance in the 2007 comedy Juno, playing a high school chemistry teacher, playing on his 'chemist' stage-name. His logo was present in this scene in the form of a large pair of prop scissors suspended over a beaker.

Most recently, Cut Chemist was featured in the film Up In The Air under his name Cut Chemist as the conference DJ who introduces Young MC.
