Quix-05 (also referred to as DJ Quixotic) - is a Los Angeles based DJ/producer most notable in the turntablist/scratch dj scene. He made a name for himself by being the first DJ from DC to win the Washington, D.C. Regional Championships and thus representing the city in the 2001 United States DJ Championships. In 2004, he placed Top 4 in the nation in the DMC USA Championships by manipulating and scratching records by Queen and Jimi Hendrix. He qualified that year by being the first east coast DJ to be crowned the Los Angeles Champion. Quix is also known for his live sets and performances where he scratches hip hop into any genre and is known to "cover" the Tracy Chapman song "Fast Car" using a test-tone record and manipulating the speed of the platter to create the notes.

In the summer of 2006 he worked with Lauryn Hill as a producer 1 and in 2009 he joined DJ Quik and Kurupt on their "Blaqkout" tour. Since then, he has joined DJ Quik as his official DJ.

As a DJ he mainly mixes, scratches and fuses hiphop with all forms of genres including (but not limited to) rock, soul, punk, reggae, house, electro, and dubstep. As a producer/artist, his work focuses on synth based sounds with added live scratching favoring the use of computer based software like Propellerhead's Reason and Ableton Live.

He belongs to a collective of turntablists named The Trooperz.
