你有見識過beat boxer 爆發般的“節奏口技” beatboxing嗎？不論你是從很久以前就喜歡beatboxing，或是因組合The ROOTS裏的Rahzel 或者Scratch的表演，甚至是有點玩票性質的JT而迷上的，無可否認的是beatboxing確實是門技藝，而現在你可以感受它的魅力。在此稍微介紹DOA，一個非主流的紐約傳奇，他是歷史上第一張beatboxing專輯“The Human Element”裏收錄的創作人之一。 現在你可以透過來自加拿大溫哥華的才華橫溢年輕導演EMILY CHAN的鏡頭，再次認識和欣賞DOA的懾人演出－－欣賞他們的才藝，也欣賞他們。

You ever heard a beat boxer go off? Whether you got a taste of the sonics from way back, caught on when The ROOTS were rolling with Rahzel or Scratch, or even a little of JT fooling with it. Well that’s the art, and here it is in full splendor. Here we bring you a bit of the history. One of the featured artists from a 108 Records project from around the way, the first beatboxing album, The Human Element. Here we present one of the more unsung legends from New York, DOA. Check how he flips the script in a timeless video, shot by Emily Chan, a young, talented film director from Vancouver, Canada. Respect the talent, respect the architects.
