From the double assault of the killer opening two, run-on scratch sentence
tracks on "Questolous" you sense what's in store; that DJ Quest's new solo
full-length will live to its title's promise of being all that, and more.
Much more in fact as the longtime San Francisco turntable musician, of
Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters, Space Travelers, and Live Human fame,
serves up one of those perfectly balanced and satisfying albums that makes
you fall in love with hip-hop all over again. DJ Quest, one of the
pioneers of the Bay Area turntablist movement and one of its most
continually innovative artists, weaves his turntable  magic throughout
Questolous' sixteen rich tracks - three of which feature guest vocalists.
Like these emcees, Luke Sick, Bas-One, and Eddie K, most of the producer
and turntablist contributors to the album have also been down with Quest
for a long time and hence know how to compliment his style.  Longtime DJ
collaborator 2 Fresh produced "Quite Simple" while fellow former Bullet
Proof Space Traveler DJ Marz lets loose on "High Valium" alongside Quest,
who produced the dope track, and Holland's DJ Sniper who kills it on the
turntables.  Along with such other beatmakers as Oaty Love, DJ T-Rock, and
Dawgisht, Vandal is also one of the album's numerous producers who
contribute to about two thirds of the album's rich range of hip-hop: from
abstract, electro and spacey grooves to infectious hip-hop beats and
breaks, and more. Quest produced the distinctly Yay Area sounding, slowed
down to 65 BPM minimal track "Who What!" on which Bas-One rhymes almost in
slo-mo.  But at the core of Questolous' appeal is the turntable as
instrument with DJ Quest as its master, effortlessly massaging and
manipulating it into new beautiful sounds.
