Being considered the most off the wall of the beatmakers on the California scene is no easy task, but William Benjamin Bensussen, better known as The (motherfucking) Gaslamp Killer, wins the title hands down. A member of the Brainfeeder team - Flying Lotus' label - this DJ who possesses epic and dramatic touches like few others is perfectly able to switch from the psychedelia of Jimi Hendrix to the otherwordly bleeps of Harmonic 313 with barely a blink of an eye in any of his sessions. He has also still found the time to produce bizarre projects like Gonjasufi, the acclaimed album by Sumach on Warp. He as unpredictable as he is out of this world.
