Sunday YouTube Madness: Turntablist Edition Round 2

Another fix of cuts and scratches. I went into this wanting to specifically highlight juggling (the art of turning 1 song into a completely new song using 2 records), but found some other treats at 1AM. Check out my spoils...

#1: DJ Shortee clip from some how2dj.com tutorial. Give you a basic idea of the beginning of a juggle...





#2: After that tutorial, check out A-Trak live in China, showing you what you can do with some advanced juggle techniques...




#3: Grandmaster Roc Raida working out the classic Run DMC "Sucka MC's" instrumental...




#4: Roc Raida again, doing some live shit at the legendary Fat Beats. I believe this routine was used on his track from the Return Of The DJ compilation... check out his freak.




#5: Roc's boy Mista Sinista working out the decks at Fat Beats. It's hot, give it some room to breathe.




#6: Check out Roc and Sinista's boy Total Eclipse work the shit out of Tribe's "Scenario". One sick routine, I love when he uses his belly on the fader.




#7: P-Trix works out some classic De La Soul on this routine. I'm loving this one right now.




#8: D-Styles and toadstyle just doing some abstract, live turntable instrumentation. Not sure about all that's going on in here, but it's hot nonetheless. The cheap video transitions have got to go though!




#9: Forgive the awful video on this, I just found it. DJ Craze in full battle mode. I love the intro --- but checkout this video around 5 min 08 seconds... he rocks the full on dnb in this. He even throws in some shit off of Q-Bert's album, which I thought was unique.




#10: To put an end-cap on this, here's the mighty Q-Bert doing his thing at Tableturns. The set is about 7 mins, and he does some ill shit. From rocking a hip-hop to dnb tempo, showcasing this scratch called "prism", and even works out scratches without a mixer! Must be seen.




If you guys know of any Turntablist shit that I am missing, scream at me. Until next time...
