Composed of more than 300 hits from all over the map, Brain Salad Surgery is DJ Quickie Mart’s pop music thesis gone science project. Unlike Girl Talk or most other DJs, there is absolutely no added production or stock loops in this mashed up insanity of sound. Everything used in Brain Salad was taken from other recordsthat were all commercially released. Also, BSS was mixed and edited by Quickie himself using Technics 1200’s, Serato Scratch Live, and Pro Tools 7.
It was just a short time prior to Hurricane Katrina when Quickie Mart came up in the smoke filled, late night bar scene of New Orleans. Since his relocation to Los Angeles, he has released a number of different mixtapes, distributed thousands of copies, and been featured on a number of other artists’ projects. He has toured every corner of the country as a solo act, as well as with other acts like Galactic, iCON the Mic King, Q-Tip, Cool Kids,Shwayze, The Knux, and Media Darling Records.
