Richard Quitevis (born October 7, 1969) known by his stage name DJ Qbert or Qbert, [2] is a Filipino American turntablist and composer who has heavily influenced the History of DJing.

Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik is a mixtape by DJ Q-bert.It was released in 1994, one year before he invented the "crab scratch."The samples on this album come from bands (including Rush), cartoons (Racketeer Rabbit, Ren & Stimpy, The Huckleberry Hound Show), comic books (including Spider-Man), video games (including Street Fighter II), and movies (including The Warriors and Style Wars).
A crab is a type of scratch used by turntablists, combining hand movements on a turntable with rapid manipulation of the crossfader.This technique enables the creation of multiple, rapid sound variations, producing a unique stutter sound that blends audio and silence, giving it an almost robotic quality.
The DJ then moves the record forward while simultaneously closing the previously opened channel ending the first sound. Then, in a reverse fashion, the DJ opens the channel while moving the record backwards creating a more controlled sounding "baby scratch". Done in quick succession it sounds as though a chirp sound is being produced.
DJ Qbert contributed largely to the album's production with his innovative scratching. Dr. Octagonecologyst has been praised for its original sound, which has often been attributed to Nakamura, [ 2 ] although Thornton states that he was largely involved with the production of the album. [ 3 ]
