About Bamboo:

DJ Bamboo is a Seattle native that has been in the spinning scene since ‘93. Like many DJ’s, scratching was a great appeal and it spawned motivation to practice and evolve into a scratch and mix DJ.  Starting out all hip-hop, he evolved into soul, and regressed into true school soul party grooves/remixes.  The musical terrain has shifted dramatically, but good soul and hip-hop still exist – and it’s DJ’s like Bamboo that spread the word via the turntables.  In 2000, he moved to Philly and experienced a great change in musical environment.  Being around a plethora of underground support, he met a group of grassroots DJ's known as the Ill Vibe Collective, who gave him hope that good music can still survive amidst the millennium downturn of hip-hop and R&B.  Neo-soul was conceived in Philly, and he was fortunate to be there during it's surge.

Since his return to Seattle in 2006, Bamboo has been sponsored by Jeepney Clothing to create mixtapes for promotion.  His interests now lie in soul/funk dance parties and urban lounges.  He has since become resident at Viceroy, spinning soulful lounge music, and moved on as a current resident at The Baltic Room every 2nd and 4th Friday night (Joints & Jams), rockin’ the venue with 70s, 80s, and 90s soul/funk/hip-hop for a grown crowd.  Bamboo’s latest endeavor is the Skratch Lounge at The Baltic Room, a monthly event for Seattle DJ’s to network and flex their skills on the tables that occurs every 1st Thursday, gaining widespread recognition in the Northwest.
