| Releases: | [Around The world in 20 Beats] [On deck circle : the next mixtape] [Oldschool 101 Break Beats] | | Info: | Producer Ric Robbins is Mr. Maxx, now known as DJ Form. He
can be found co-producing on albums from the Grits amongst
others. He's part of the production team Incorporated
Elements with Otto Price.
Beginnings
The DJ is born in Cincinnati, Ohio around the time when hip
hop first started to break out of New York. DJ Form grew up
on the entire hip hop culture. He first began to grow
interested in DJ'ing in Junior High School and saved up to
buy his first turntables and mixer.
Practicing
Then known as DJ Dopeman, he taught himself how to scratch
and beat mix, because there was no such thing as a "DJ
tutorial video" or a web site to learn how to DJ. "I had
no one to show me anything", says Form. "I learned by
practicing and by watching music videos and trying to catch
what the DJ was doing in the background. I also used to go
to the old Fresh Fests that they used to have. I would get
as close as I could to the stage and watch Jam Master Jay,
Mixmaster Ice, Jazzy Jeff, Cash Money, Bobcat, Grandmaster
Dee, Cut Creator, Eric B. and all of the other DJs on that
tour to see what I could learn. That's how I learned to
transform, by watching Jazzy Jeff in concert." Form made
extra money in high school and college by selling mix tapes
and DJ'ing thousands of parties.
Mr. Maxx
In the mid-1990's, DJ Form, then known as "Mr. Maxx",
hooked up with a new hip-hop group called Grits, who were
working on their first record, Mental Releases. They brought
him in to DJ on two songs, and they hit it off so well, he
ended up writing on 6 songs with them. Form toured with
Grits for nine years after that and produced almost all of
their music with partner Otto Price, Todd Collins, and the
group themselves.
Grits
With Grits, Form won numerous Dove Awards, a Billboard
Award, and was nominated for two Grammy Awards. Now after
producing, DJ'ing, programming, and writing on over 50
records, DJ Form is beginning to do what he can to help
other up-and-coming talent get their shine by running the
production company, Incorporated Elements and starting an
artist development agency with several other music industry
verterans.
Production
Incorporated Elements has worked primarily in the
Christian/Gospel industry, but have begun to branch out into
the mainstream by working with hip hop acts like Grits and
Talib Kweli, Nappy Roots, and 4th Avenue Jones. And even on
the pop side with remix and DJ work for Kimberly Locke,
Natalie Imbruglia and Duran Duran.
New Project
DJ Form released a new instrumental album entitled "Around
The world in 20 Beats" in 2007. |
