Qbert and Mix Master Mike: The Dream Team is Back!

On Saturday, April 6th in Long Beach, California a historic performance took place at the Guitar Center Music Expo.  For the first time in 18 years (yes, it really has been that long since these two have performed as a duo), Qbert took to the stage with the one and only Mix Master Mike. 

The footage is a bit shaky because the cameraman was so excited and couldn't keep it still (can you blame him?), but the soundboard quality audio more than makes up for it.

This is just 6 minutes of their all-freestyled set. Nothing was planned, no rehearsal, they just took to the stage and BAM!  

Mike is the backbone here, laying down the foundation as Qbert paints over his canvas.  Even though it's freestyled, there are no jagged transitions or dull moments.  The performance is smooth and flows together as if they've been playing together this whole time.  It should also be noted that all the other performers at this event were traditional bands and these two were the only DJs privileged to be included in Guitar Center's first ever Music Expo. 

In light of all the madness that too often pollutes the DJ world, this brings it all back to the basics: pure sound. The synchronicity is insane, just listen!
