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

he is indeed...altho i put the video up as reference only. i asked a question
yet none of u have answered.

im purly interested to know of people who use the turntables as some i have mentioned....never set out to start a "whos better than who" thread...end
of the day weather i like it or not im a promoter, always on the hunt for new
and exciting talent.

thanks for your help tho ;)

i must agree - trickery is good in techno, but only if its danceable. even in turntablism/hip hop, it can quickly turn into a wankfest where people are just standing around and watching the "insane skills".

these days, just seeing a DJ play a solid set for 2 hours with tight beatmatching, tasteful tricks, relevant track selection, proper levels, and harmonious mixes can be a treat.

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.

thats all very well and good but im more after knowing about the people who
combine these skillz with techno, as asked!

I personally used to subtley scratch stuff over the top of Techno many years ago, but now I very rarely mix vinyl (what with one of my decks being old/needing repair and developing my own kit etc.) I'm out of practice and probably value my records a bit more now :(

I dunno about this being clinical with beats, it's just part of the whole showboating thing. I find sloppy offsetting stuff is fine, it's just train tracks you want to avoid :)

Just down to personal preference then isnt it;)

[basslinejunkie]

ive watched the video, some of it sounds good, some of it doesnt. of course its just a youtube uplaod also so probably alot of the sound quality will be lost. but imo in techno, there isnt a need to do as much as that anyway. subtle rather than OTT imo.

lol@ this thread

Techno would be totally class - i'm NOT saying it isn't already - but if someone nailed juggling like Q-Bert. I haven't seen anyone at that calibre so ya'll get practising! I suppose Dave shades was ok but not MASHUP STYLEEEE.

as for scratching over techno sounding too slow, i think you need to take a longer look at Jerome, Tam and study his fluency with regards to the music he plays at that moment. Gary is good at scratching, but at techno speed i think it all about different combinations i.e scribbling etc too.. like this shiz - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_FFe7lmPuA

I want to learn some turntabalism but I find it quite hard. I can however, scratch my arse.

If it makes the same sample timestretch warping sound and not you shitting yourself, I think you're on to something there ;)

[kate manus]

dj murphy

definitely a fan of his... sometimes the scratching can be a bit much but overall I find it quite tasteful... and he puts on a great show!

[Stretch]

Paul Damage does a bit of scratching.

he doesnt really have the trix tho.. he's good at making it look like he does.. but he's a bit sloppy and does silly stuff that any ol eejit can do like move the cross fader with his chin.

nice guy tho :)
