DJ Spooky (a.k.a. Paul D. Miller) is a writer, conceptual artist, and pioneer in the field of mashups and mixing; a politically-minded musical archivist who works at the borders of performance art and musical statement. Spooky connects soul music's "then" and "now," cutting soul-inspired vinyl with video footage from Wattstax, Mel Stuart's acclaimed documentary. Wattstax chronicles the monumental 1972 concert — featuring Isaac Hayes, the Staples Singers, and Richard Pryor — Stax Records staged in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles.
