Darren Jordan Shabat aka DJ Absurd has been a fan of Hip-Hop as long as he could remember. Born and raised in New Jersey throughout the '90's Absurd has been exposed to some of the best hip-hop, inspiring him in 1994 to start spinning. In 2000 after years of studying the "Technics" of the game, Absurd decided to start making his own music. Influenced by everyone from The RZA and Havoc to Premier and Dr.Dre; Absurd's style is the epitome of that classic,grimy, hip-hop sound. The humble beat smith is a fan first, and never about gimmicks.- " I just follow my heart, and not what's hot at the moment". Locally, Absurd has been the official Underground EXP. DJ for over 6 years. He has rocked heads at the ground-breaking Fat Caps and Shelltoes shows and the bi-monthly Lyrical Graffiti MC showcase. He is also the official DJ of the New Jersey Hip Hop group "Born Wreckless". In 2007 Absurd released his debut producer street album "The Resume Vol.1". In 2008 he went on to release Vol.2 & 3, and in 2009 Vol.4. Not to be confused with a mixtape, these street LP's are entirely produced by DJ Absurd. With these street albums featuring the likes of Afu-Ra, Killah Priest, Kaze, Cymarshall Law, Pumpkinhead, Reks and some of the illest up and coming Jersey MC's, Absurd is proving to be a major producer to look out for in 2009
