Mario Vela, better known as Kodac Visualz, is a cut connoisseur when it comes to scratching in a genre known as turntablism.
Kodac Visualz is not your average turntablist/scratch DJ. He is a performer, an artist, a choice cut connoisseur when it comes to selecting premium slabs of precision vinyl laceration. His style is full of charisma, very smooth yet aggressive, able to captivate audiences like a camera captures pictures.
Kodac Visualz approaches the crossfader with a style he has cra$ed through years of turntable philosophy - a style he calls Asthmafunk.
This is known as letting the scratch breathe (pause, change in tempo), allowing himself and the listener a chance to take in and feel the natural scratch expression as if they were breathing through an inhaler.
Kodac has garnered much attention with the online release of Asthmafunk Scratch Sessions on his YouTube channel, influencing the next generation of DJ’s and turntablists. Kodac has shared the stage with many artists, locally and nationally, from E-40 to Talib Kweli.
Kodac stays busy as a scratch entrepreneur by contributing to and maintaining the online
scratch community, launching multiple websites to promote scratching/turntablism, and organizing public events/ performances such as SkratchPad, an open venue for all DJ’s to cultivate and communicate scratch culture while vibing out on the turntables, or his Fight Club Battle Series - a chance for DJ’s to show and prove their turntable skills.
