DJing under the name of Disoriental, 26-year-old Jon Chung has many accomplishments. Most notably, back-to-back Calgary DMC championships in 2002 and 2003. Starting when he was 19, it only took watching DJ Q-Bert at the night Gallery in the late '90s to make Chung want to put away his Pennywise CD in exchange for turntables. By the early millennium, Disoriental had earned his rightful place as one of Calgary's top turntablists. However, floating through resident nights at places such as NYLA left him feeling pigeonholed as just a turntablist and not a DJ that can rock a party. Disoriental enjoys having the challenge of using DMC skills to build memorable nights everywhere by taking beat juggling and the scratching you'd find in a six minute DMC set and stretching those skills through longer sets in order to create that party atmosphere.
