DJ Babu (World Famous Beat Junkies/Dilated Peoples) and Rakaa (aka Iriscience of Dilated Peoples) are Expansion Team Soundsystem. A classic-meets-progressive Hip Hop experience born in Southern California. Rooted in turntablism, lyricism, and party-rocking crowd control, the duo has built a reputation for blazing venues across the U.S., Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. Celebrating the timeless DJ/MC dynamic with a style often described as cutting-edge traditionalism.

Expansion Team Soundsystem formed in the summer of 2004 out of a true love to move crowds around the world. With the desire to maintain the tradition of DJs and MCs that began before rap concerts. Beginning as solo DJing gigs for Babu, they soon included Rakaa as the master of ceremonies; keeping the pace and accenting sets with rhymes. Combining key elements from party DJing, turntablism, lyricism, club hosting and dancehall spices. They created an awe-inspiring, one-of-a-kind Hip-Hop rocking experience. “ETS is something that developed naturally with Rakaa on the mic, me on the turntables, and us just rocking a party together and having fun” says Babu. “We really try to keep it spontaneous and connect with the crowd.”
