If it did, there would be more producers programming scratching into their tracks.
I think it sounds cheesy.

I think what you are doing on the decks is pretty cool, but any more would be overdoing it.

And as for turntablists not being egotistical. I think ALL Djing is to a certain level, ego driven.
I mean, how the hell did glorified juke-boxes get to such an elevated level in this day an age?
All we are doing is playing other peoples music, and finally the hype of the 90`s is slowly going away. Lets not overblow what it is.
good debate man..

yup, i agree that cutting over most techno does sound shite.....well just REALLY hard to make it sound good....i struggle to do it.... thats why i usually drop a hiphop/hardtek/noize track to do it over and only do it when i think the crowd need a min rest....oh and yes skratch vocal etc over techno tracks sound cheesy, starts to sound like hard hoose.

thanks about my djing.....i plan on doing more tricks but wanna make em sound cleaner so it does sound like less........more is less ;) . Hopefully juggle two looked groove but the listener wouldnt even know unless they saw......would just sound like a remix or whatever loop.

Ego- a bit.....id be lying if i didnt say i like the fact im up ther.....but i still would do it even if i never left the house....i honestly luv djing so much....its my passion...b4 techno.

An yup how the fuk do they get away with " glorified juke-boxes @ such an elevated level in this day an age?"...totally agree, it needs to stop.
