A DJ that can scratch GOOD might make it today cause kids today ain't ever seen it. They wanna do something different and there you go.
I'm kinda in the scene these days, to find a DJ that scratches and can transition nicely is RARE


Some nikkas literally just sit behind the booth and just blend shyt... No scratching no nothing


And dudes like the ones in the video, playing big events usually already have a mix ready and recorded... Or like others say, press play and let iTunes do your shyt...


I'm learning that being a DJ takes a lot more to it, especially an independent one

Hell yeah, I was with one of my homies at a show backstage, I wanted to see what really happens back there cause the shyt interested me. Anyways, I had to wait until dude came back and I asked him. He said he only uses like 5 buttons the rest just for show.


If I found a DJ who could work the 1's and 2's I'd do my best to make sure that man(or woman I guess) goes somewhere. The craft is dying already,

Yea I got a couple homies that do the scratching . My roommate is into battle scratching and breakdancing, so we practice scratch techniques. He's better than I am of course, but still not that good. His timing for scratches is off and it's morse like he's scratching to scratch instead of going with the song... But he's good at blending. I suck and blending but good at scratching on time and transitioning with scratches.

But one of my other boys DJ for a cruiseline, just blending EDM and house. Doesn't even know how to scratch.

I saw a dude at a casino in San Diego who scratches were ON POINT. Very rare talent indeed

Prefer clubs where the DJ is heard and not seen.

Errbody facing a nikka on stage playing music like it's a concert or some shyt. :stopitslime:

Not even scratching or doing some grandmaster type party tricks cutting records with his lips behind his back n shyt.

Just play music from the corner, hidden somewhere so we can dance with these bytches :hula::hula:

the best coast
i been dj'ing house parties for a while now. i use to just play tracks straight off itunes but eventually i got a some free app so i could transition better a few years back.

honestly all u have to do is be in the loop with music and know your crowd and dj'ing is easy as fukk.

you can dj visually IF you know your tracks because you can see the wave form and see the kick, snare, vocals etc... most old school dj's with serato dont need headphones. but them wak mufukkas in the video are def trash.

What good is a DJ if he can't scratch...........

For real tho....Technics are dead and only for vintage players.....

Digital is here to stay, whether you hate it or love it
U can still use Technics in conjunction with Serato..only thing holding back Technic is Panasonic for discontinuing the 1200 line..
