DJ Cue is a Bay Area hip hop DJ, producer, and founding member of the Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters alongside Eddie Def and DJ Quest — the crew behind Hamster Breaks (1993), one of the first DJ toolkit records in hip hop history. Active since 1986 and rooted in the DJ culture of Daly City, California, Cue built his foundation running Cue’s Record Shop in the 90s, a cornerstone of the Bay Area underground scene. His debut release Cue’s Hip Hop Shop Vol. 1 on Dogday Records in 1998 established his reputation as both a technical DJ and a producer with deep musical instincts.
Now returning with OG Hamster, a collaborative album with Eddie Def, DJ Cue brings nearly four decades of audio production experience to a project that balances scratch artistry with full musical composition. With a background that spans professional IT architecture alongside his music career, he approaches both disciplines with the same precision, purpose, and forward thinking.
Cue’s current project for 2026 includes a new project that captures the Cue’s Records era sound from 1994-2000.
