DJ Brace - 2016 DMC Online Final set using MIDI Note Fader

DJ Brace has built his own modded Vestax 06 driven by the MIDI Note Fader blueprint and Control Panel Software. In close collaboration we have customized the software to meet his needs and have the Rane 62 control some of the parameters… here is the result of his hard work and efforts for his 2016 […]

Midi Note Fader Mod introduction

Let me start of with stating that the idea of controlling pitch of the turntable by vertical motion is not new. In fact, JohnBeez introduced the Fretless Fader a couple of years back already. There are also other initiatives under the notion of Syntablism where timecode vinyl is used to control a synth or vst […]

Beatjuggling - a lost art?

I’ve never really embraced Beat-juggling as much as scratching to be honest. In the scheme of things I think it’s safe to say that the non-battle turntablist (as in the guys who do not go to DMC or something to compete) do not typically spend as much time on juggles than on freestyle cuts. For […]

Documentary: Scratch

Still one of the best documentaries in the field to date: Scratch, by Doug Pray. I once was lucky enough to see this on the movie-screen at a venue before Qbert did a gig. If you haven’t seen this, get your hands on a copy or view it on Youtube full length below.

What is it

Some very nice scratching by Qbert

Always Coca-Cola

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 🙂

Delayed 2-click Flare or Boomerang

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 […]

Site additions

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…
