About DJ Forrest "Getemgump" Webb
Forrest Getemgump is a DJ of the true-school variety. His knowledge of breakbeats is exhaustive, and his ability to play a single genre or flit between soul, funk, disco, classic hip-hop, house and rare breaks within a single set exhibits both the depth of his crates and his ability to connect seemingly disparate styles.
Forrest sets himself apart by spinning all-vinyl sets. He is both a cultural preservationist and a crowd-pleaser, a distinction that comes from years of breaking it down on the turntables.
