***DJ Quest's Questide (untold tales) offers up seventeen never-before-heard tracks (solo and collaborative) spanning the past eight years of the world famous DJ's career. Included is the Bullet Proof Space Travelers' brand new "1000 Proof Bass," the lost 1997 Space Travelers' track "9.9" which features Eddie Def on electric guitar and scratches, Cue on beats, and Quest on scratches and violin. "I can't play violin. I was just tweaking and manipulating it for effects," insists Quest of the impromptu session recording that could be filed under "alternative" or "experimental turntablism." DJ Disk (Skratch Piklz, Buckethead, etc.) joins Quest on the 1998 recording "Twas Night," while another ol' skool partner and collaborator, DJ 2 Fresh, joins Quest on the retro-electro "Code 48." Bulletproof member Eddie K joins Quest in two capacities: rapping on "1000 Proof Bass" and as producer/beat maker on the 2001 recording "Slow & Sick." Albert Mathias (percussion) and Andrew Kushin (contra bass) from Quest's other group, experimental jazz/hip hop group trio Live Human, join him on two previously unreleased recordings, both from 1998, "Fish and Chips" (recorded in London) and the short-but-sweet "Interlude" (recorded in San Francisco). The CD's liner notes by Billy Jam include a DJ Quest history, complete discography, and DJ Battle history. - Retrospective by Live Human / Bullet Proof Space Travelers DJ
