Sound Logic

Jazz innovator DJ Logic rocks Block

The theorem of turntablist-as-musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ Logic, who with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and sprinkling his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablists, DJ Logic is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip-hop realm and is considered by most as a highly respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.

Since his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations ranging from the likes of: Medeski Martin and Wood, Christian McBride, Vernon Reid, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Mos Def, and The Roots, to name but a few. A fan of Block Headwear since we met back in 2000, DJ Logic rocks Block on and off stage. For the gift of his friendship we are thankful, but even moreso for his gift to all of us – soulful jazz with a hip-hop vibe. Keep them tables turnin!
