BACKGROUND...
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. It was these 4 members that began to enter DJ battles as a group under the Mixologists name. Still relatively unknown 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. In their first year of battling, the crew had already established themselves as a threat on the world stage.

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 went on to successfully defend their UK title in 2001 and became World DMC runner ups, their best accolade to date.

AND NOW....
Although from different musical backgrounds (Beni was part of the early rave & jungle scene whilst Go had strong hip hop roots) the two have fused and taken their innovative and eclectic DJ style worldwide to over 20 countries, having played across the UK, throughout Europe as well as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, S.Africa, Canada, Thailand, Singapore and USA to name but a few. They have featuring in DJ instructional videos, performed on DVD releases, mixed magazine CD cover mounts and worked/performed with artists such as: Roy Ayres, DJ Craze, Jazzy Jeff, Rodney P & Skitz, Kool Herc, Roots Manuva, London Elektricity, Killa Kela, (who together make up Spitkingdom Sound System) Masta Ace and Mark B & Blade (Beni G was the tour DJ - performing alongside acts such as Eminem, Stereo MC’s, Feeder and Delinquent Habits). As well as attracting sponsorships from companies such as Shure, Vestax, Maharishi, Addict and THTC clothing, the two have performed for multinational company events including Nike for whom they are also endorsed artists. July 2003 saw their first compilation album released called "Champion Sounds" on DMC’s label, which subsequently won an award for best compilation at the Underground Music Awards and subsequently they went on to win in Best DJ category at the 2004 UMA awards.

In 6 years since starting 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 with their own unique flair of turntablism. 2005 will be an even bigger year with their own production, touring, record labels and many other projects currently in the pipeline.
