the most technical jocks within?

[DJCraig Ryan]

Don't get me wrong the chap has skills...but that sounded awful.

Wasn't pleasant on the ears. Erm what about Dave Clarke & Eddie Halliwell, I know they dont go to this extreme and are different to this style but still rate them as 'technical' djs.

Dave Clarke

bit of a love him or hate him guy really.

i havent seen him look interested in what he was doing the last 2 times i saw him. looked like he was just going thru the motions to be honest and the "world service 2" mix was dreadful - back in the day though he blew me away on many occasions!

Some of it was good,...some of it was messy.....like with Cubert, looks good to watch but sounds shite.....tendency to be messy a lot of the time when doing crab scratches etc... for me it as to be clean and tight.

wot exactly do you find "messy" about it? i can assure you that the maker of
that video wouldnt have put it up if he felt he didnt nail everything as he intended to...and to say q-bert is sloppy is a tad harsh..

do u have and references to better?

The main clip posted is good...but i watched some of the other clips that are there when that 1 finishes and on these some of the scratching is messy and slightly out.....just all transforming, crab scratches etc..no hand scratches.

Cubert is a legend, dont get me wrong, influenced me over the years....but again, is scratching can be very messy in the patterns etc he puts together.
Mixmaster Mike who used to scratch for the beastie boys is far better....better technique, patterns etc...more of a story to his scratching than just a load of transforming all over the place.

If your clued up on scratching you would know what im going on about and wouldnt take offence to my comments.....theres good scratching and theres bad scratching.

go check Mixmaster Mike, thats a reference.

Answers to your questions..

"anybody else know of people into turntablism?" yes...me

"what exactly do you mean by messy?" out of sync...not tight

"reference?" Mixmaster Mike

and yeah, theres only 1 Q-bert, the 1 you mean...and i stand by what i said about him.

Not being funny...just making a point that i do know what im talking about with regards to scratching - turntablism......been into scratching since i was 16 years old....im now 30
im just very critical thats all.

[DJCraig Ryan]

Is this your little buddy or somefin? Lets get this straight...i wasn't knocking the lads skills looks sick and he is skilled. I was talking about the sounds he is using...sounded absolutely shite. As a couple of other people said get some decent records on.

Back your comment up lad before you jump in

yeah the title of the post is: 'the most technical jocks within?' and the guy in the clip isn't imo.
