DJ Logic

Turntable maestro DJ Reasoning (true name Jason Kibler) is normally widely acknowledged for assisting to bring jazz into hip-hop’s sphere of influence. Hailing in the Bronx, he kicked off his travels over the decks within the 1980s by playing at neighborhood events. Another decade, however, noticed him growing quickly in stature as an expert musician. First he became a member of the group Eyes & I, executing with such rings as Living Color and Body Count number. He then installed with talented jazz trio MMW (keyboardist John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin, and bassist Chris Hardwood), touring intensely and focusing on the celebrated Combustication record. He released his debut record, the aptly entitled Project Reasoning, to wide vital acclaim in 1999. 2 yrs afterwards, he was once again collecting plaudits en masse after placing out the cutting-edge Anomaly record. Reasoning surfaced alongside guitarist Vernon Reid in 2002 for Front side End Lifter, a great, adventurous record the two documented as Yohimbe Brothers and toured behind past due in the entire year.
