Joel Astman[3][4] (born February 12, 1975),[5] known professionally as J.Period, is a Brooklyn-based mixtape DJ, remixer and hip-hop producer. He is best known for producing official mixtape collaborations with Q-Tip, John Legend, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Lauryn Hill, the Roots, the Isley Brothers and Mary J. Blige, and an "audio-biography" style that incorporates personal interviews with these artists into his "Best Of" compilations.[6] His original productions and remixes have also appeared in film trailers for Universal Pictures' American Gangster (2007)[7] and Fox Searchlight's Street Kings (2008).[8] In November 2008, J.Period became the first DJ/producer commissioned by Activision to score and produce an entire video game soundtrack, Tony Hawk's Motion for Nintendo DS.[9]
