DBR and DJ Scientific

Daniel Bernard Roumain, or DBR, is a composer, performer, violinist, and bandleader who seamlessly blends funk, rock, hip-hop and classical music into a unique sonic vision. Frequent collaborator Elan Vytal, aka DJ Scientific, combines precisely engineered hip-hop beats and scratched rhythms with classical and world music sounds, both live and sampled. "Sonata for Violin and Turntables" is a groundbreaking musical exploration speaks to the history and traditions of both classical and hip-hop as DBR’s violin and Scientific’s two turntables sing, battle, and rhyme together.
