Formed in Lawrence, Kansas in 2001, DJNOTADJ drew up a blueprint of live instrumentation for a new movement. Fusing house, downtempo, funk, IDM, hip hop, jungle and drum and bass, they quickly became one of the Midwest's premier live acts. In 2003 they released a first-of-its-kind studio album for the region, the live electronic cult classic Deep Roots In Shallow Ground, and sold out the original CD pressing.

The band played hundreds of shows during the golden era of 2001 to 2005, sharing stages with the vibrant Lawrence hip hop and experimental beats scene plus national acts like Soulive, The New Deal, Particle, The Roots, Money Mark, Woven, John Brown's Body, The Get Up Kids, Karl Denson and Lake Trout. DJNOTADJ stopped making music as a band in 2005 but remain best friends and brothers to this day. DJNOTADJ is David Jerett Fulton, Nate Holt, Bob Little and Dash Williamson.

For the 20th anniversary, Royce Diamond remastered Deep Roots In Shallow Ground, now on double orange swirl vinyl. Also here: singles with Jesse Jackson, Johnny Quest and Storyteller Konsept.
