Mr. Dibbs

Cincinnati DJ Mr. Dibbs is certainly component of 1200 Hobos, a turntablist staff known because of their mixtapes, considered even more compositional and much less overtly dexterous than those of various other DJs. Influenced with the initial influx of rap and hip-hop lifestyle, Dibbs’ decision to become DJ was cemented by viewing Grandmixer D.ST perform “Rockit” with Herbie Hancock. His combine style is educated by the frantic song slashes of Midwest radio DJs like Cleveland’s Mixmaster Quick and Detroit’s Jeff “The Wizard” Mills. Mr. Dibbs also organizes Skribble Fest, Cincinnati’s annual celebration heralding the cornerstones of hip-hop: breakdancing, graffiti, rapping, and DJing. Over time he provides released several important albums, including 1998’s Turntable Scientifics and 2003’s 30th Tune.
