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. With the 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 a 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 then went on to successfully defend their UK title in 2001 and come World DMC runner ups, their best accolade to date.
Go and Beni have taken their innovative and eclectic DJ style (spinning hip hop, breakbeat and drum & bass) across the UK, Europe and worldwide. They have featuring in DJ instructional videos, mixed magazine CD cover mounts and worked/performed with artists such as Masta Ace, Kool Herc, Skitz & Rodney P, Roots Manuva and Mark B & Blade (who Beni G was the tour DJ for - performing alongside acts such as Eminem, Stereo MC’s, Feeder and Delinquent Habits). As well as attracting sponsorships from companies (Shure, Vestax, Carhartt, Maharishi, Alis and THTC clothes), the two have worked for multinational companies such as Nike (event DJ’s/clothes sponsor) and are Virgin subsidiary Wordplay Records resident DJ’s.
In 3 years of battling The Mixologists have already done more than most, but it is in clubs where they really shine. They are set to continue to entertain crowds all over the world with the option of hip hop sets, drum & bass sets or both. And so 2002 is looking very exciting for the crew, with a very clear focus to win this years DMC World title and a world tour with Killa Kella. In addition, Beni G will be touring with Un-cut and DJ Go with The Planets and together they are currently in the process of finishing a promotional mix for the forthcoming Rodney P album. Having just returned home from their Japan tour with MC Trip and Mechanizm they are now preparing to defend the World DMC Team title in September in London.
