whats that sandstorm rmx? that sounded kool

Hi Blakey, I'm an old school mix n blend type DJ from the turntable era, mainly playing 90s UKG, DnB/Jungle. I've got my vinyl and my Techs and a DDJ-800, but I find myself going back to my vinyl even though I have a ton of good quality wav rips of UKG tunes that I don't have on vinyl, don't get me wrong I'll still mix with them the same transitions as if I were using vinyl, but these new fandangled machines allow for so much more that you can do that you couldn't on vinyl, some proper EZ style stuff 😂😂 So I was wondering if you could do a walk through of techniques that could spice up an old school mix so we don't get left behind.

You going to be doing lessons my friend? 1-1 Also would love your feedback on my channel!

Here for the references to UKG! 😂 great channel mate

Your breakdowns and explanations are on point mate, loving the channel 🔥

Kid koala performs moon river is the best thing I’ve seen on tables. The story, the creativity, the technique.

Oiii you guyz might help me... Does anyone know what's the name of some crazy ass scratch with some guitar samples? The dude was scratching IN TONE over this guitar solo; some crazy things are happening in that video. Low quality, cosmos knows from what year that is...

Hey! Met you at the rane 72 launch thingy somewhere in Wembley with Jay Cunning way back, managed to leave my laptop behind…. Anyways, hit me up through the contact option on the store as I’d love to add you to our Ableton artists rosta, didn’t know you were a user….

DMC was massive when I came up as a Bboy in the 80s , you missed a simple scratch DJ cash money did to open his set that blown the crowd away in US finals in 1988 to win. Then following year Dj Cutmaster swift won from uk. But there was another that year in 1989 who went to new york to win area finals for 1989 finals was DJ Aladdin. There bits in his set that are incredible, plays a tune, then makes same tune with two beat (think called juggling) but Dj Aladdin get it right an on point , hes incredible

Got like 10 new browser tabs open now, and hope you do another set

all three were on their own way elite, my personal fav is dj fly,,,,, never had seen and heard such a set... Simply Great

Fly sht was garbage

when we see all the fake djs in little fashionable outfits who only play and dance and that, some don't deserve their success

this isn't dj ing its just altering a prerecorded series of sounds using to large effects wheels, utter garbage

Love your skill and your accent. You have a new follower! ❤

Brilliant compilation! It's sad to see what's happened to the genre... I miss the old days.

This routines are horrible. Dj Craze will always be the Greatest to ever do it

Playing DJ Hero and watching old DMC is what got me into DJing, I'm so glad DMC is still a thing

Just watched your full set were you did this trick wow amazing performance pal

Flashy tricks & very little musical flow. That might just be me.

Thanks for this tutorial! I started in vinyls but I just love the new possibilities digital gear offers now, as demonstrated in your video. It lets you pick and choose which part of the tracks to play and results in really tight sets that makes it even more fun for the crowd to dance to. Keep up the great work.

Technology killed the DJ star

K Swizz was the BEST. A DJ supposed to PLAY popular Music that doesn’t Bore the Club/Audience. All that technical scratching and beat juggling is Cool but in an Actual CLUB people would Storm the DJ booth and ask - WTF are you doing? Play music man.. 😫🤣😫😫

Blakey you smashed it mate,you're a good judge,really enjoyed your video and really well explained,will defo keep an eye out for your vids,loved it thanks very much mate

I'm old skool, Cash Money, Chad Jackson (my personal hero from back in the day at the Dance Factory) Scratch Professor (the kid who convinced me to go home without doing my set), Owen D, CJ Mac, Larsen, Rodriguez & Cheese along with so many more, for me you will never beat the rawness of those days. Lets have the best of the old skool :-)

great breakdown with some stunning work

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍👏🏾👏🏾

Nice video just wanted to inform you that the segment transitions have the word transition misspelt

Loved the video. Rode in an elevator with Craze in 1999 or 2000 in Portland, Oregon. Really nice guy- took the time to speak to a star struck fan & helped me place where I’d heard the 900 number beat.

I *JUST* realized y'all ain't concerned at ALL with needle jump anymore. You can touch your platter however the F you want and you ain't bouncing out of the groove. NO PENNIES ON YOUR CARTRIDGE. Feels like cheating.

so awesome, congrats!!!

Yeah I think the slow pullback scratch sounds added a bit of muddiness to the fumi set he had pretty good timing but a lot of basic reverse sounds, if he had more complex scratches it would have likely made it way more technical and more interesting rather than juggles with a lot of pullback. If you really like the sound of juggling then it was good but I thought sonically it had a lot of non intelligible pullback sound which maybe went with the set theme though. His show tricks were nicely peformed but the memory of it is basically a lot of complex juggling. 2nd place imo made good use of stuff and felt more traditional hip hop / club feel, the sandstorm section didn't make much sense with the rest of the feel but I geuss he thought it is cool but I didn't really get it much what was going on with using it. 1st place felt like a hardcore set which was a nice difference to showcase hardcore EMD turntablism. I thought parts were a little sloppy and didn't translate well and a few were a bit off time but the overall track concept was nice. Overall they were all nice sets - being a prodigy fan I am a little biased. So I'd say 3rd had bets showmanship/trick but overall sound profile wasn't very appealing. 2nd had more of a traditional turntabalism feel but not sure what was going on with sandstorm in there nice track just didn't fit the set imo for the more funky feel. 1st probably had the best sounding set overall but a few points didn't hit on time, or sounded harsh. I think picking 1st would depend what the judging criteria was.

Wow i always been amazed by live orchestra viewings of movies, and this takes it to another level! Really great job man :D

You earned yourself a subscriber! Now to watch a few more tips to get inspiration (as you mentioned was your goal) 🎉

We need to see what your thoughts are on the DJ Fly set this year. Worth a video all on its own!

Maybe u can tell serato to put the update back to be able to adjust the cross fader curve setting while djing with the SRT 1000. That one lil setting can be enough for u to hate everything about this program. Not sure why they got rid of it to begin with. Every other controller can do this except the srt 1000

Brotha Blakey . This is amazing , you are one of my inspirations for continuing longevity in this culture ( 20 years myself performing and teaching). One of my goals is to play with a full orchestra and you nailed it . Thank you for sharing your process , was curious how you synced up the project to the performance.

I love to see how the elements of hip hop are being acknowledged for the art that they are. With the turntables joining the instruments of the orchestra, dope AF! Nice work Blakey.

why isn't the needle touching the record?

I feel like all the old djs had beats and tricks you could dance to but now its just jughlibg noise

K Swizz was the better set for me.

As a dj i wish I could do what they do but as a raver and club dj you have to be able to dance to everything you play and you can't dance to 90% of what they do and the point of djing always has been ply music and mix so people don't stop dancing

👏👏👏👏👏🤜🏻🤛🏼

👏👏👏 great sets

Fumi won that

Yo,when I used to dj we used final,and needles, this serrato keeps everything in time things are different but hey this is still good

Loved everything about this video! Thanks for the behind the scenes and sharing your process. My mind is blown that you sync Ableton by just pressing play in time! Fair play! 🤯😂

Awesome
