QUIX05 (formerly known as DJ Quixotic) - is a Los Angeles based DJ/producer most notable in the turntablist/scratch dj scene. He was the first DJ from DC to win the Washington, D.C. DMC Regional Championships, thus representing the city in the 2001 United States DJ Finals. In 2004, he placed Top 4 in the nation at the DMC USA DJ Championships by manipulating and scratching records by Queen and Jimi Hendrix. He qualified that year by being the first east coast DJ to be crowned the Los Angeles Champion.

Quix05 is also known for his live sets in which he scratches hip hop into any genre and is known to "cover" the Tracy Chapman song "Fast Car". Using a test-tone record, he manipulates the speed of the platter to create the notes.

In the summer of 2006 he worked with Lauryn Hill as a producer and in 2009 he joined DJ Quik and Kurupt on their "Blaqkout" tour. Since then, he has joined DJ Quik as his official tour DJ. In August/September 2012 he joined both Bone Thugs N' Harmony and DJ Quik separately as tour dj for the Rock The Bells 2012 Tour.

He belongs to a collective of turntablists named The Trooperz.
