Producer

NYC native, Raw Q (aka Dj Beau) has been a dedicated fixture in the North American Drum & Bass movement since 1995. From his roots as one of the founders of Camouflage, an original Jungle Sky, NASA, and Konkrete Jungle O.G., one of Dj Zinc's 'Bingo All-Stars', and current member of the Intrigue Music crew and as resident dj at NYC's premiere dnb events Driven and Natural Selection.

On the production tip, Beau first ventured into the studio back in 95' and teamed up with Dj Ani (NASA, Deee-Lite), where the duo created tunes for Dj Soulslinger's 'Jungle Sky' imprint (the first US Drum & Bass label). Soon after he transformed into Raw Q and blazed forward on the solo tip in 2004 with 'Vital Soul' on Dj Zinc's reputable Bingo Beats imprint which took the Drum & Bass world by storm and was ranked 11th in the BBC's Global Dance Music charts.
