Flosstradamus is the stage name of Chicago-based DJs J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci).
They have performed at events such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Pitchfork Music Festival, Rothbury Music Festival, and South by Southwest. They are frequently associated with such acts as Kid Sister (Young's sister), The Cool Kids, and A-Trak.
In April 2006, Flosstradamus were included in URB's annual "Next 100".
In 2007, Flosstradamus released a mix album for Vice Records as part of Toyota's Scion "CD Sampler" series. In addition, during the summer of 2007 they embarked on an international tour with Chromeo, dubbed the "Fancy Footwork Tour".

Flosstradamus at The Mohawk @ The Mohawk
Flosstradamus has sold out every party it ever played, been listed as one of Urb’s “Next 100,” and even received the Pitchfork seal of approval by appearing at its SXSW day show. So what makes the DJ duo (a.k.a. Autobot and J2K) such a big deal in an age when even that guy you wait tables with has a DJ night? To be honest, we’re not really sure, other than the fact that the crew has the mash-up skills of Girl Talk—except Flosstradamus mixes everything live—and knows how to ride a room’s vibe. Expect an MP3-heavy set of obscure blog finds heavy on hip-hop but always with a stylistic gambit waiting to break at any second.
