I read a post on another blog a while back with all t he DMC winners in Audio format. A very cool idea, but as personally I get more visually inspired I decided to extend this thought to, what else, Youtube So I took some time to put together a Playlist of [...] Not just your everyday clock… One thing I have always found a bit strange is that there hasn’t been that much buzz as I would have expected about the Clocktave. This is a very innovative concept by DJ Sjam where the ‘Clocktave record’ can be used to actually play melodies. Personally I think it’s a brilliant [...] I think most turntablists will agree that DJ Qbert is amongst the great tablists of all time. With some guys, sometimes very technical cuts loose a bit of the ‘funkyness’ or the flow if you will. In my opinion Q does not have this most of the time because he is so versatile. [...] You might ask yourself wtf does a hamster have to do with turntablism?!? Well, hamster-style is a term that has gotten coined for using the X-fader in ‘reverse’. A ‘normal’ setup has the x-fader working like this: Normal X-fader curve A Hamster-style set-up has it reversed, so the channels will act like this:
The fader-scene has seen some impressive innovations in the last decade or so. Better overall quality of components, light sensors used in faders (Stanton’s Focus Fader, Numark’s Infinity Fader etc.) and Rane came up with the magnetic non-contact fader. This video shows how you can use their faders wen you’re having a drink
I will be adding the basics of scratching soon, as previously available on skratchamental.com. In the meanwhile here is a vid I did a while back on the delayed 2-click flare. What’s in a name Some people refer to this scratch as the boomerang scratch. I have read numerous discussions on this and have really [...] I have converted more content and rewritten some parts of the old site. An interesting bit that is always useful (especially when preparing a battle-set) is on the usage of stickers on your vinyl. Also have a look on how Kentaro uses his stickers below…
Since Scratchlopedia Breaktannica came out this scratch has undoubtedly been the most discussed. How does it work? What is the pattern? It didn’t really help that the doubletime pattern on the DVD was actually a different pattern than the ‘regular’one. In any case, below my example of it (regular speed…) and I’ve added the transcription [...] As we are approaching the end of 2009, I personally couldn’t think of any big innovations in the turntablist area. Naturally vendors haven’t been sitting still but at the same time I felt there wasn’t that much really new for the ‘Joe Average tablist’. Then I remembered this guy:
If a mod for my mixer [...] Aside from funky cutting I can also appreciate the art of breaking. This is an old vid already, but it is one I would like to share with you, I think it’s awesome.
Anyone who knows the name of the soundtrack, comment please |
