Cut It Up Def Records was established in 1989 ny Bob "Scorpio" Smith. This label was a launching pad for producers Jock-D, Gemini,and Jealous J (Now called Jim Jonsin), released many 12'' singles that are now considered cult classics of Miami bass music. The record went gold but the money into the wrong pockets so all the artists left to pursue other opportunities..
Over the years with the help of sites like MySpace and Yahoo’s Miami Bass History group Jock was bombarded with e-mails and messages from all over the globe demanding more bass!!! more scratching!!! More Cut It Up Def!!
Intrigued by the Idea Jock investigated and found that the trademark was available, so after a few conversations with laywers, a search, and a 425 dollar application fee. Jock-D was the new owner of Cut It Up Def records. He secured the rights to release the original catalog so here it is, remastered and badder than ever, not quite the history of Miami Bass, but a real close approximation.
Tracklist:
Side A
1. Partytime - Jock-D &. Jealous J
This was Cut It Up Def’s second biggest hit released in 1989 with DJ Wars Pt 1. A LOT of airplay on the mixshows and still considered a classic
2. Get-Up – Jonski
The second ever release from CIUD...produced by Kooley C. This was Jock D’s debut on CIUD
3. Feel The Bass - Dynamix 2 featuring Kidd Money
Dynamix 2's 1988 classic follow-up to “Just Give The DJ a Break”, Kidd Moneys debut. originally released on Cha-os records and best known for the white label blue vinyl copies that were floating around
Side B
1. DJ Wars - Jock-D vs. Jealous J
The first official "battle" record. In the top 3 of CIUD’s most successful records. The song is just like the title implies
2. We Can Get Together - 2BMF
Dancefloor favorite of 1990..predecessor of the booty style bass
3) Shake The Joint - Breezy Beat M.C.
It has been said that Breezy Beat MC was the greatest MC ever to come out of Miami and the bass scene, and it is because of this record, originally released in 1988 on Debonaire Records
Side C
1) DJ Wars 2 - Jock-D vs. DJ Swift
FAVORITE of the electro rave scene, this record picks up where Pt 1 left off, with more furious scratch phrases as Jock-D and DJ Swift battle for supremacy
2) Cut It Up Def - Jealous J Feat. M.C. Gemini
1st ever release for CIUD. This song STILL gets airplay almost 20 years later
3) Too Much Bass - Cha-os
Considered by most to be the BEST bass song EVER recorded and champion of Miami’s Power 96 "Power Wars" for a record 6 weeks straight. This is the debut from former Dynamix 2 alumni Ace In The Place and Jock-D naming the group after Aces former label. This song was originally intended to be a follow-up to “Feel The Bass” with Kidd Money. Instead ACE and Jock handled the rapping and scratching. Originally released in 1989 on ace records
Side D
1) Lets Get This Party Started (Jock-D Remix) - Kooley-C
One of the most important records in Miami Bass. Predecessor to ALL party style bass songs. This is the song that put Palm Beach County on the map. Originally released in 1986 on Beware Records
2) Shake That Ass Bitch - Splack Pack
CIUD’s most successful record to date. You’ve heard the sound-bites on Howard Stern, and it still gets strong club play. One of the top booty records of all time

Megamix of classic CIUD tracks from Power 96's Lazaro Mendez and Jock-D
