DJ Skillz (France) - Winning performance from The 2019 DMC World DJ Final - 2 x DMC World Champion 

If you haven't checked out the barcode music, seems like it could be something like that

watch the Scrath Picklez from the 90's

Yeah the cool part of a DJ battle for sure is watching the DJs battle.

You gotta watch at slowest speed to appreciate the skill even more

​@@prooflifedoc942 yea it's not really listenable though is what they're getting at

Birdy Nam Nam.

Basically who can do it the quickest . I reckon I would be the champion at scratching my balls

Lee kowalski Walker 🙏🏽

You gotta keep the dj world alive tho. Regardless if it sucks,its just evolution

@@lewismulholland2704 Hahahahahaha

I agree with you bro, this was awful :(

It’s a sad state of affairs lads 😔

Ahah and you don't seen DMC france, one of the "champion" is a joke! Now he acts like he is a world champion ;)

@Frankus Lee craze sitting there as a judge lol

OK, so it's not just me lol. I thought I was trippen, like how did sets not get better from the late 90's DMC's. For this to be the winning performance is amazing, I don't know what happened cause I have been out of the scene for several years but this can't be the hardest out.

They wouldn't stop pressing buttons

I haven't listened to a winning DMC set in several years so I was expecting to see a huge leap in skills and set selection. Instead I was cringing and bored throughout his set to the point where I fast-forwarded. But still half expected some sick highlights which never came. Kentaro's 2002 set (even his 2001 set) would blow this guy out of the gd water. I challenge anyone to watch it on YT and prove me wrong.

Sure it wasn't real

There is wedding set playlist on your youtube page. You do know this isnt the wedding dj championship 2019?

@@VinylVinnie Climb down, sonny. Anyone can compare this to past winners and tell it's not as good.

Chris Climb down? Really? Don’t get your hopes up. If you can say something, I can say something back. You are not speaking with your inner voice. By the way. The bride asks if you can play some Celine Dion.

@@VinylVinnie I was commenting on the performance, you came at me making personal digs and stretching for an insult about a playlist you're clueless about because it's all you've got, white knighting for Skillz. He's not gonna fūck you man but don't let that stop you sucking him off. :)

Chris If you spin as good as ur disses I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems. But being corny isn’t one. And ontopic: Take a look at the 1989 finals. This one is better.

Kids today have pre selected tracks on a laptop. To be honest for all we know them knobs and buttons don’t do anything and we just watched a dance routine.

@@jool7793 We did the same thing back then too though. Tape on record = cue point

@@BobbyBriscoeBeats Remember when people talked shit about djs that it's no actual music because they use complete records and manipulate them with these weird sounds. The fact people now talk shit here and compare them to the old stuff means it is an established art form hah.

This guy's music is awful

The fact that he pointed to him right before he did made it so much doper.

Syntablism ;)

Agreed the only thing that really impresses me was when he played half time

I rarely see DJ's able to scratch because most of them use other forms than Vinyl. It's become so entry level to do that everyone thinks Shaq is this great DJ and I am a major fan of his in general with regards to basketball or that one time in a shark cage during shark week, i even had his reebok teal and white Orlando Magic Pumps shoes, but at edc in vegas this year and last, most of the time his hands are off the table and holding a mic to hype the crowd and body moving. I swear most people have a prerecorded mix that they just fake work or talent. Tiesto still has vinyls because he knows how to be a true God of his craft. I asked DJ Morgan one time to play a fav song of his and the badass straight told me "I never carry the same records for more than 2 weeks in my crate and I was like thats awesome cuz he is always trending and new/original and always makes the dance floor blur with movement. This video is awesome because i believe it really shows a lost art to scratching and how there used to be these kinds of battles in small clubs in the 80's when hip hop ruled and started the art of scratching. Jam Master Jay was an OG GRAND MASTER WITH A GRADUATE DEGREE IN SCRATCHING from the University of Badassdom. Mix Master Mike is a Bay Area legend to us locals, where a lot of DJ Battles became famous and his cassettes made the rounds of our friends, but is def known world wide, I was so enamored by it that I absolutely, ignorantly, and regrettably made my records unplayable and got thrown away. my colored Disney vinyl story (Fox and Hound, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, and my favorite one to this day was Robin Hood with the fox as Robin and a bear as Little John. OMG I ruined them so bad but I felt like a DJ for a few min til my parents shut it down for being straight annoying. I think I also eventually ruined my Michael Jackson Thriller album which I regret to this day because it is still highly desired and I loved that album. Kudos for winning this event and it was fun to watch a lost art that is impressive and just plain fun when done correctly.

I’ll try and help you out here son. If your mom didn’t walk out of the room to answer the phone after your dad came in her maybe you’d have more brain cells but then again you dad also walk out of the room and also your life, but I digress. You seem to be an expert so what was it like your first time winning a world championship? Of course I’m aware Vekked never won because he literally only uses vinyl and never uses technology (believe me, I was there in the Edison days and it was just plain sad) but can’t wait to hear what you can do! Let me know when it’s posted!

I think you hit my biggest issue rhythm, there isn't any here.

Vekked is really dope with all of that stuff.

@Prodigy son yeah, I resemble that remark. 💯

Stop you Killing me

Lol.....and tears

Sorry one tear .....in the corner of my eye

Indeed, I'm a Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff kind of guy myself. This dude is sloppy and so not impressive. Spending entirely too much time on one turntable!!

I look back at the 98 us dmc finals..every competitor was awesome. Shortkut retires and craze goes to win the worlds

Truth. I have always said music peaked in 95 96.

So true. And before someone calls Me a boomer I’m GenX. Lol. But 90s hip hop beats made you want to bop your head. Those beats were funky as fuck. And the best lyricists of the time were spitting pure poetry. Nowadays hip hop beats sounds like disjointed and atonal (not sure if that’s the right word but they are lacking something at least to me). And when you can actually understand the raps it’s -mostly- just Gucci this, wet ass pussy that, blah blah blah. And yes I know there are talented rappers around nowadays but when I hear the beats it usually never clicks for me. This is all just my personal opinion obviously but 90’s era rap is still the best ever made.

@@andrea.dossantos2869 Man I couldn't agree with you more. Not to mention that all this crap today, be sounds the same. No diversity or originality. These cats out here greatly lack imagination.

Ka proves this statement to be false.

@@LeekowalskiWalker it's not a statement, it's a question.

Forreals

I miss when they used records

Amen. The new generation fucks EVERYTHING up!

I really wanted to say that. But nothing wrong with digital vinyl.

Senator Wax Davis You couldn’t have stated that any better. I miss when routines were good

Same reason I came to the comments. Yours made me realize I did the same. Wasn't enjoying or interested so I was curious to see what others had to say. Now I realize this was a show of how fast he could create terrible flow and rhythm. The only impressiveness is speed, but nothing musically.

Of all the complaints I hear you make the best argument about technology and possibilities. I totally agree.

I'm thinking the other competitors didn't " nail " their sets cos this was pretty average. I enjoyed his set last year much more.

Well said

@Ezmyrelda Andrade Yes, that's the idea: Tell a story on wax ... Exactly the hope!!

Yes it is, boomer. Yes it is.

I literally have not seen one DMC set that comes anywhere close to Kentaro's 2002 DMC set, DJ Woody's 2002 Vestax set, and C2C's 2004 winning group set. YT them and watch. They happened 16 to nearly 20 years ago now. Wtf happened?

What about DJ Brace from 2016, in my opinion that was a clean set without much "weirdness". In my opinion one of the best clean shows of DJing with enough antics and all-around well-sounding track.

No laptop no serato no bull💩 JUST STRAIGHT VINYL FLIPPING!

thanks for saying this cause I was honestly confused and reconsidering my interest in scratching lol, Im like this is what the professionals are doing?

Im back after watching Kentaro :') oh my goodness, that video was absolutely amazing and has opened my eyes to actual sounds created by scratching, BEAUTIFUL

Serato

@@ceedig303 And Novation Dicers

Enter in it

It's France😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I miss the dj from Linkin Park 🎉

how about some cake? hahahaha

I went back and watched that too... So much better.

Your age is showing

Christian Beaver how old do you think I am, seeing as I never mentioned it? Why is that even relevant?

Jorge Madrigal euro selections 🤔

Did ya do it?

Also curious, did you do it?

Lmao

🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

I hope that is sarcasm because it's some of the shittest I've ever heard.

Really?? Obviously you have no ear for music because if you did you would easily recognize the beats, mixing and his ability to manipulate 2 records at the same time

@@christophergallagher9574 he is super technic but music sucks, where is the funky?

Craze was the "Man"

Gawd how times have changed

Exactly how I felt... mad technique no soul

Its à tribute to craze 20th anniversary

djshinpa dmc99’

exactly ;-)

Does anyone know the song name?

he looked around like aiight.. cool .. i guess ..

For example, listen to this guys cuts, then go back and listen to d-styles freak it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-veL9R73zm60.html it's like hearing something you'd hear in a guitar center, vs an accomplished musician who's mastered his craft.

this. all of this.

chirp/orbit combos yay

Dj Netik winning routine was the last REAL one

This was dope .. idk what ur watching but this was definitely a winning routine

It’s a scratch competition. This is what they have evolved into. It isn’t a dance mix. He isn’t a disc jockey trying to blend beats. For fucks sake people.

@@ronin_user but his scratching is boring

You should try that battle format out yourself and see how it works out.

Agree mike ramirez..... Peeps gone get lazy, relying on tech too much........ it's like stability and braking control on cars, makes an average driver think he's good. Same with this shit......... 2 decks, a mixer and a crate of your best vinyl..... sort the men from the boys.

True. These cats are always impressive but... It's like turntablism is still stuck in 2002. It's cool for the first 5 minutes I guess.

At least it will be a real set not a pre-recorded piece of s***

Christie Z hater

wickedAnyone who says this is shit just remember this is all being done on vinyl with no prompting.absolute pure genius

What’s the name of that track?

@@Skyandrosstolley Chemise : she can't love you

So fucking clean! My favorite part for sure

And Phel's solo 05 routine, 05 was stacked, iemerg, phel, izoh, staen1, unkut

Same. Im tired of seeing jittery beat juggling like this, they see complexity and more movement over actually making it sound good.

Same thing I was thinking

Too complex for you

@@mthth2320 it is not too complex for me, I get what he is doing and there is a lot of skill here which is good but, imagine if he were to do this in front of an audience of a bunch of non-DJs. They would be completey confused and annoyed by how sporatic it is.

@@CameroniMusic thats why dmc is!! Since the beggining it was for show skills and tricks. For listen music we have club. And you know and i know (my cut is correct;) that skillz can be a club dj but is not the place to

that's better when I listen it when fully wake up ^__^ but that's not awesome

Darrick Lee Sadly the motto for modern djs is.....”If you aint button pushin, you are probably really djing...which is hard”. We miss you late 90s-early 2000s djs #iemerge #craze #kentaro #netik

So glad I am not crazy and a lot of people agree with me in these comments! Haven't touched decks in over 20 yrs and your comment hit the nail on the head! Look at DJ Brace 2016 winning set. Was expecting/hoping to see something better or at least comparable. Smh...

@@Sonnylintag u forgot dj noize

TraxByFrax #noize and #static was sick too!

1210 is silver edition bro

@bob snufflebag ye i was pretty chuffed to see the released a new series of technics

Okay boomer. MK 7 is better you fucking tard. Piss off, looser.

Okay, boomer.

that is their souls tho

danthemanwhocancan yes!!!

Lol bro thats funny as!

😂

I guess he wants to be a Vato (Chicano) from L.A. because that's how the Mexicans in L.A. used to wear their shit back in the day.

U Fucking better?!...No Shut up

Pretty good skills, can't blame him for that. No imagination and no style though.

It was a copy of what dj craze (one of the judges) did 20 years prior

That's a bit like saying "can we go back to land line phones". Joking aside, personally I don't have a problem with using the technology at your disposal. All the winners from 20 years ago have embraced the tech. The skills are clearly still on show. Just my opinion.

I try not to care about the tools but to be honest I don't feel the EMOTION out of this like I was feeling it back in the dayz...

@@rafimakaro8043 I hear you. I think for me it's because it's not as new and fresh as it felt back then and I was seeing turntablism for the first time. I'm 20 years older and the musical choices being used have changed. I used to love classic tracks such as 'Let's Dance' but they've been juggled to death. It started to feel stale for me around 04 but I can still appreciate skills and would love to be able to scratch like that. Sorry if I've gone on a bit. Peace.

@@TheMeeesterT maybe that also, true !

I dont care if its on vinyl or DVS just make your shit musical!

What was the name of that song with the female singing he just destroyed?

@@dnbWORLDWIDE 😯😯😯

Crazes 1998 championship set. One of my favorites.

@@williamwalrus63 ghat 1998 set is legendary. I've watched it several times over the last couple of days. It's still better than anything I've seen since.

@@rayoneal8391 I agree his set was so fluid and clean AF

Portentous?
