DJ Ruffnek (Fernando Avalos)
--------------------------------------------------------
Though Ruffnek catches wreck behind the 1s and 2s, fans would flip to learn that his musical beginnings were in the school choir. However, his hippie parents raised him on Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Bob Marley. He discovered Hip Hop in 1984 - initially as a break dancer - quickly shifting his attention to turntables and becoming a DJ. His primary inspirations have been pioneer DJ Jazzy Jeff Townes and internationally acclaimed wonder Q-Bert. Reaching beyond hip hop, Ruffnek tunes his ears to the worlds of techno, metal and reggae dancehall. And because his father was a drummer, Ruffnek inherited a keen rhythmic sense that he flexes as a percussionist as well. "From samples to scratches to beats, I bring dynamics to Slapbak that constantly change things up!"
