About the Artist

FREE AGENTS brings together some of the Bay Area's most respected turntablists for a night of pure scratch mastery. Headlining is DJ Q*Bert, the three-time DMC World Champion and co-founder of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, widely considered one of the greatest turntablists of all time. His innovations in scratching techniques have influenced generations of DJs worldwide.

Joining him is Shortkut, fellow Invisibl Skratch Piklz member and Beat Junkies affiliate, known for his technical precision and deep crates. JP Breganza and Starfari round out the lineup, representing the next wave of Bay Area turntable talent.

Co-presented by Public Works and Dregs One, this is a showcase for the art form that the Bay Area helped pioneer. Expect vinyl-only sets, live scratching, and the kind of DJ-as-performer energy that's increasingly rare in the streaming era.

If you care about DJ culture, turntablism history, or just want to see why the Bay is still home to the world's best scratch DJs — this is it.
