Los Angelos-based DJ/producer Cut Chemist has been on the scene since the mid-’90s, recording solo material and working with notables such as Unity Committee, Jurassic 5, and Ozomatli. On April 10, he released his first solo cut in six years: the single “Outro (Revisited),” featuring underground rapper Blackbird (who’s also a part of Chemist’s upcoming album, Die Cut).
In the feverishly fast-paced video for “Outro (Revisited),” Blackbird appears on the run for his life as Mr. Chemist and drummer friend Deantoni Parks (of The Mars Volta) hunt him down via mobile drum kit and turntables. Here’s hoping that some of the punk energy pervades Die Cut too.
