I had 2 1200s and a vestax battle mixer like 15 years ago and sold them on an early ebay to pay rent. I recently looked them up...nobody makes this stuff anymore. Shure doesn't even make needles anymore. It's sad.
The thing I admire about qbert's scratch technique is that he's super innovative. He makes the some of the most basic cuts sound crrrrazy. Some dudes just care about speed, when in the end its all about creativity. Props.
The 2 best scratch DJs EVER. Theyd never ever claim this because they are waaay too SERIOUSLY HUMBLE. So much respect for these guys 30+ years later they are still kings of scratching!!!
holy shit so do i 1 hand on the turntable the other on the ...crossfader?? dudes these days look like there running an irish post office, and it takes away from the art, like apparently your better if you go behind ya back here there just 3600 1 second noises instead off applying the crab scratch, the baby or the baby back, the only ones i know without looking it up and if ya do you'll get a tutorial of qbert showing coz he invented and named most of em...when apple went mega global they had adds on the telly, Tony Hawke had 1 and yeah bro fucken qbert with his angled hat....lol im gunna look it up now
I guess I'm officially an old head now cuz I can't help but think this is when hip hop heads were still recognized by the industry before it became a pop industry. These dudes put in countless hours of practice for the fcking love of the craft! This is art that comes from passion and real love for the music!
@@powertrip6426 there’s nothing wrong with rap being pop music, and people still recognize old music as being integral to the music scene and music history as a whole
I know nothing bout DJ things, I'm just a drummer.. but the guy in the hat, has the same sort of rhythm a drummer would interpret music, having alot of different syncopations. That is SICK!
I've got the Skratchcon 2000 VHS, then I copped the DVD version, now I can watch it anywhere on my mobile device. I probably watch this clip a few times a year and it always has me in awe. ISP!!!
I was at scratchcon, this permformance made me the dj i am today. This was the teamwork session of the seminar, Skratch Perverts did a different teams routine at this seminar, too. I'm not sure if they were right before this routine or after, either way they rocked the house, too, with their out-of-this-world sound
So blessed that Q and Dave came to bondi beach in Sydney few years ago and hung out with us and got on the cut with my crew and us for the day we were so blessed that day it was a lovely day we will never ever forget these guys are on another level for real and to see them in a different light away from competition and pressure and just relaxing having fun is when they can be themselves and enjoy life and that’s what we did 💯👊🏽
I've seen them multiple times here in the states. They're always down to kick it after their set. Real cool dudes - positive energy, down to earth, zero ego.
There is no djing there. These guys are amazing but there just scratching records. There are so many aspects of being a DJ! The digital DJ has in many cases destroyed the art however look at what your able to do now! Technology is what started it now it’s what’s moving us forward.
