Upsetting battle DJs throughout the world for the supreme title of 1997 and 1998 ITF World Champion, New Jersey raised Vinroc remains rooted in his strong family values and passion for music. He has not forgotten his love of hip-hop and the art form known to mainstream society as "DJing" or turntablism to an eclectic few. DJ Vinroc (aka Vincent Punsalan) is a proud member of the DJ battle crew known as 5th Platoon (New Jersey). Vinroc first began DJing in 1987 at the early age of ten. He began moving on to local battles in New York where he was first introduced to his future crew as well as other battle DJ's such as the X-ecutioners (Loud Records). Vinroc has been featured and seen worldwide in magazines such as Rolling Stone, The Source, Rap Pages, URB, Subculture Magazine, XXL, The San Francisco Weekly and numerous publications throughout the world. Touring and projects have taken him throughout the United States and overseas to such cultural enclaves as New York, Los Angeles, Texas, San Francisco, Canada, London, and Amsterdam. Besides worldwide attention in the media and music industry, another drastic change in his young life was his relocation from the East Coast to the West Coast where he juggles his hectic schedule as a world class DJ while working at Cue's Records in Daly City. Vinroc has worked on projects that include cuts for Source Magazine's top 5 indie album artist Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf, Eclipse 427, Fanatik, Planet Asia, as well as fellow turntablist Q-Berts' full length feature release Wave Twister. In the latter he beat juggles with Beastie Boys' DJ Mixmaster Mike. Moreover, Vinroc has performed alongside the likes of the Beat Junkies, Invisbl Skratch Piklz, X-ecutioners, the Arsonists, Biz Markie, Pete Rock, Cut Master Swift, Jurrassic 5, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Hurricane, Jamalski, Jungle Brothers, Company Flow and the list goes on. As a turntablist, Vinroc would like to evolve as a musician and producer and begin producing works with other artists. When asked how he would like to be remembered he simply states, "I want to be known as a guy who loves what he does and who makes music from his heart. I don't care about the money...as long as I'm making music that touches people. That's what makes me do this!"
