I think the sound of a record being played backwards and forwards relatively quickly in time to the music is not exactly progression.
It`s ooooooooooold shit.
Not exactly a new sound is it.
Heard one scratch, heard em all.
there is so much more you can do with technology.
I think the whole turntablism is more about Ego than music.
A DJ is there to play the music that the people wanna hear, and make it a little exciting to enhance the dance ambience.
Wanking off endlessly over a record to say "hey, look at me, I`m great" , can be tiresome.
Good music is first and foremost, the most important thing.
Unfortunately, too many DJ`s are making music, well, loops, and this is sooo boring the only way to make it interesting is to do shit over the top of it.
