Mixologists

About

The Mixologists were originally formed in 1997 by DJ Go, who wanted to bring together a group of like-minded DJ’s. Go met Beni G as a guest on Beni’s hip hop radio show “The Boombox”, but it wasn't until 1999 when the official “battle” crew was formed. Go and Beni met up with 2 other members through DJ battles and the new line up consisting of DJ Go, Beni G, Gizroc and Yo-one was created. They began to enter DJ battles as a group under the Mixologists name. in 1999, the team came 3rd in the UK DMC team championships, won the European I.T.F. championship and came runner up in the World I.T.F. Finals in Hawaii. After further success in 2000 (winning the UK DMC Team championships and placing 3rd in the World), the Mixologists streamlined and DJ Go and Beni G became the only 2 members of the crew. The two then went on to successfully defend their UK title in 2001 and come World DMC runner ups, their best accolade to date. In 5 years of battling the Mixologists have already done more than most, but it is in clubs where they really shine and are set to continue to entertain crowds all over the world with the option of hip hop sets, drum & bass sets or both. 2004 will be an even bigger year with their own production, touring and many other projects currently in the pipeline.
