dj BC

djBC is a DJ from Boston who's had some recent success in creating mash-ups. His best known works involve mixing the Beatles with the Beastie Boys into what he calls "The Beastles". His work, which was once available as free downloads off his website, www.djbc.net , was removed after a threatening letter from some legal-types. Also notable was his Glassbreaks album (Philip Glass vs. a variety of hip-hop artists), with an even shorter lifetime before the lawyers called (though dj BC mentioned at the time that they were "nice" about it).
