My first time being exposed to Shortkut (Jonathan Cruz) was when I saw the Triple Threat DJs in the early 2000s at Kelly's Mission Rock, Grandmaster Flash may have DJ'd at the same event. Whether it's at Stern Grove, his monthly residency at the Emporium San Francisco, or Outside Lands, it's always a privilege getting the opportunity to catch one of the Bay Area's OG turntable masters at work, DJ Shortkut. He is a member of three of the most influential DJ crews in history: The Invisbl Skratch Piklz, Beat Junkie Sound & The Triple Threat DJs. He is a seasoned veteran in the DJ battle circuit and plays music spanning countless genres to crowds all over the world.
