Quitevis, also known as DJ QBert, looms large over the past three decades of turntablism history. Born and raised in San Francisco, Quitevis began DJing at the age of 15. He met Mix Master Mike at a DJ battle in their high school cafeteria; in 1989, the pair of them formed a DJ crew called Invisibl Skratch Piklz, along with DJ Apollo. They were the first to operate as a turntablism band, with each member separately layering drums, vocals and basslines.
Quitevis dominated the competitive DJ scene in the early ’90s. He, Apollo and Mike won the Disco Mix Club (DMC) World Championships in 1992 under the name Rocksteady DJs; he won again in ’94, this time as part of the duo Dream Team with Mike. Over the latter half of the ’90s, Qbert released numerous influential mixtapes, including the highly regarded 1999 album Wave Twisters, which was later turned into an animated film. He continues to tour around the world.
When not touring, he can be found live on Twitch

DJ TikTak Celebrates 33 Years of Elevating Drum and Bass Culture
San Francisco, CA – DJ TikTak, a pioneer in the global drum and bass movement and founder of the renowned Church of Drum and Bass, celebrates 33 years of groundbreaking contributions to the culture. From shaping the scene in Cleveland in the 1990s to leading the charge in San Francisco today, DJ TikTak has solidified their place as a cornerstone of the drum and bass community.
Emerging in Cleveland during the 1990s, DJ TikTak was instrumental in establishing the underground rave culture and carving out a vibrant space for drum and bass enthusiasts. Their relentless dedication to pushing boundaries and uniting communities helped ignite a scene that continues to thrive decades later.
Now based in San Francisco, DJ TikTak carries the torch as a cultural leader and visionary. The Church of Drum and Bass, their brainchild, has become a sanctuary for fans and artists alike—a platform where music transcends boundaries and creates meaningful connections. Through immersive events, mentorship, and a steadfast commitment to the art form, DJ TikTak has fostered an environment that celebrates the evolution of drum and bass while honoring its roots.
Reflecting on 33 years in the industry, DJ TikTak says:
“This journey has been about more than just music—it’s about building a global family. From Cleveland to San Francisco and beyond, the drum and bass community is a testament to the power of connection, resilience, and shared passion.”
As the Church of Drum and Bass continues to grow, DJ TikTak remains focused on inspiring the next generation of producers, DJs, and fans. With upcoming events, collaborations, and projects on the horizon, the future of drum and bass looks brighter than ever.
