I wasent trying to promote myself either----just show some jugglin wi techno.

if it wasnt me that put that post up and someone else then i dont think youd object......
I think hip hop djing/turntablism is a hghly skilled business and great to see, watch and bop yer head to, but not necessarily what Id wanna hear on the dance floor all night. Most bad ass scratchy hip hop dj's i've seen have done etxremely intense short sets, but I think electronic music for the dance floor is mixed with a slightly different attitude/approach. Great to hear techno dj's experimenting and mixing it up but doing a 3 hour techno set involves keeping a dancefloor rockin', the beat flowing while adding something extra by mixing.
I think the best techno DJ I've seen fuse turntablist and starightforward beat mixing different styles was Claude Young a few years back. Totally broke the 4/4 up with his 2 copy action, scrtachin and geberal f***** it up on the dex.
Nice smooth beat mxing can be just as pleasant on the ear and dancefloor though.
yup word.........check out that set i metioned then.Quote:

mind you this time it is in topic cos the way T discibed mixin is my style...im still a promtin myself wanker tho.....ill admit it.
I'm the same person who told Henry to watch what he says man. I don't discriminate for a split second. Objectivity is key in my position.Quote:

as goes for regular djs, when i take into consideration all this mixtapes ive heard the affair seems to be simple, mixin in the key i mean transitions can be simple and short but beats must match together, cuts must sound familliar u can add some nice scratchin over it but its just the addition ofcourse there are some exceptions like dj yoda from uk this sick motherf.ucka is undisputely the best if goes for pasting some samples, rearrangin things life and treats music with fun, like 50cent mixed to manamana song :lol:
We just brought him here last month. Amazing guy and an amazing DJ. I have nothing but good words for him. I brought him to the shop and he bought some records from local artists, then when we got to the party the local artists didn't know so they ended up giving him another copy of the records. Well, by the end of the night he was juggling and scratching those brand new records with his elbows and face precisely on point...and he never even listened to the tracks before!Quote:

techno wise, dj bone knows how to work the decks :cool:
jugglin as in pullin the 12 back to play the same phrase over & over ?
is techno not too fast for that ?
i do a lot of trix with 2 copys (spesh when on a DJM600... u can go stellar) but not the way hip hop dj play a break & rewind while the other deck plays...
seen Bissmire do some nifty thrown & witnessed Claude about 7-8 times in belfast, but none ( and i mean none) of the locals actually juggle the way hip hop guys would.
i would play like an 8 bar intro to 'Aural Exciter' or the like & when the vocal drops, whip the fader to the other deck.. repeat this until you get a threat from a punter then let it rip :twisted:
one thing i used to do was the Mills record on Axis 'the Other day Ep' and use the track with the bif blast of white noise... had a second copy lined so when the first blast finished, drop the other copy & wind the first one back to the start & repeat this as long as i could hold it...
i never seen a hip hop dj blend 2 trax for more than 8 bars though.. except for Noise. who ius a true gentleman & music fan btw
cash Money couldnt beat match for peanuts when he played in Belfast.. :roll:
how i laughed :lol:
Wasn't Sims a hip hop DJ ?
as was davel clarke i heard. Oh and the mighty dj sy :lol:
Terrence parker come from a hip hop bakground & is the most gifted dj ive seen play (even tho it was house :roll: ) He's seriously got tricks comin out of his ears.... chech this mix where he is mixin funk disco & other shit with no beat & its perfectly in time with all the cuttin scratchin you could want...it will have you scratchin your head :clap:
CHECK IT (its the summer mix vol 1)

Sims is gifted though. tbh, i believe he blows DC away as far as technical ability is concerned. and general taste. and production...
can u tell i aint a DC fan yet ;)
BUT, its just my opinion
technically simms is one of the best around but just simply bores me to death.
some of mates feel the same. they respect him but find him dull. strangley, the same guys think DC is the King...
horse. courses.
saw sims for the first time the other week in slovenia... and he was really good... the best dj of the night.... the line up was: Umek, Rush, Carola, Kanzyani etc etc
one of the best djs ive seen
Thats good to hear DZ....only person ive heard jugglin techno is dj mishima(think hes from new york) and myself....and altho it would be classed as jugglin it aint nuthing like the real juggles trurntablists like atrack/vinroc....etc...ther shit is just on anuther level.Quote:

Well, Atrack and Vinroc are on another level all together. The DJs around here don't juggle traditionally by pulling back each record with every "hit" so to speak...but at most usually pulling one back while the other plays. I don't really know if any of the locals feature DJ mixes on the net or not. I don't really do recorded DJ mixes either. :doh:
yeh that what ive saw b4.....more just looping than juggin.....Quote:
