MALOOF MONEY CUP DJ

Jason Marchiondo, is known as the dynamic Dj Scientific. Drawn to music early on, he heard the art of djing and scratching calling him at the age of 5. After nearly destroying one of his mother’s records she gave him his first lesson in djing, and explained to the young Scientific that she didn’t have the right kind of needle on her record player to perform his “WIKI WIKIs”.  This didn’t deter a young Scientific, one day, while his mother was still at work he decided to experiment with scratching again. This time, it was with his own record, the first record he ever owned, a Star Wars album he had received from McDonalds. He threw the paper thin piece of vinyl on the turntable and cut it to shreds in about 5 minutes, and never looked back.

Scientific was raised in Albuquerque, NM, living in every record store and exploring every source of music he could find to quench his musical appetite. Through out this time, his passion for digging in every crate and practicing on any turntable put in front of him, he has amassed an unsurpassed musical knowledge and record collection exceeding 25,000 albums. In 1996, he started hosting the ground breaking radio hip-hop show Street Beat, on the University of New Mexico's own KUNM 89.9 fm. In 1998, The Source Magazine featured DJ Scientific in an article titled "IN THE HOOD", which credited his artistic abilities and presented him to the global music community.

 Soon after, Scientific began to travel and moved to Washington, DC to advance his musical foundation, and studied at American University. Enjoying the broader artistic arena and freedom on the road, he thrives when touring, and has enjoyed the opportunity to open for, perform, and share the stage/ turntables with artists such as:
