DJ Nu-Mark has done studio work for tons of hip hop acts from Ice T to the Pharcyde. He’s best known of course as DJ for the left-coast, alt-rap supergroup Jurrassic 5, which before their “break up” a few years ago featured several members of Fujirock faves Ozomatli. Since there’s been a lot of talk on this blog lately about legendary FRF sets, anyone remember Ozomatli closing out the festival at the Red Marquee on a Sunday night in 2000? They entered from the back of the venue in a conga line playing acoustic instruments, and when they went out, they did the same, with the entire audience following them into the food court where they continued to jam as the dawn poked through the mist. Well, looking back at the schedule, Ozomatli actually played the second to last set that night, and this is exactly the slot DJ Nu-Mark has this year. DO NOT miss the YouTube clip above (shout out to FRF programer James for bringing it to my attention). In addition to a collection of 35,000 records and knack for mixing classic hip hop with snappy latin rhythms, Nu-Mark has also figured out how to plug a whole Toys-R-Us worth of kids musical devices into his mixers. This is gonna be fun!
