- I know where in an age were a lot of battle DJs are “Beat Juggling” Electronic and Techno music. And hey, if that’s the stuff you listen to, if that’s the stuff that moves you, if that’s the stuff you wanna “Beat Juggle”… be my guest. But Funk begets Funk and “Beat Juggling” is ALL about sounding Funky. So I strongly suggest you work with actual Funky music when you’re formulating a new pattern or routine. You know... somethin' wit' some FLAVA!
Many believe “Beat Juggling” as we know it today is stale, synthetic and flat lines after a few quick seconds. One reason for this is a lot of battle DJs are working with beats that are produced on a computer grid. Sequenced copy and paste style. There’s no soul in that! Factor in the unrecognizable songs competitors are using and you’re audience won’t be able to acknowledge what is your doing to the music. This leads to a disconnect between you and the people you're supposed to be performing for.
If you wanna conceive your own Funky beat, tackle familiar songs with live Funky drummers or Funky samples. Done properly, Funky Beats equal Funky Beat Juggles.
Talk about multi tasking. Gotta give Rob credit for being able to communicate with dude while beat juggling lol !!! Rob can do telemarketing while doing this stuff. Its all good.
True champion, can have a conversation and still knows where he is in the juggle. That’s what It takes to be at that level so dude talking so much is a blessing, there’s always distractions in life, it’s hard maintain your focus throughout.
Rob swift has a producers ear on the turntables...
💪🏾
I remember you from 92 fam. Flawless set & changed the game. X-men
bill bangz Max respect!
I haven't touched turntables in 30 plus years...now i am ready to have fun on the 1s and 2s because of this video.

Thanks for uploading this Rob, love your work and dedication man.
Bravo olé olé olé
I could watch this video all day, so much information to learn! hand movement and great funky groove
The Teddy Bear on the dresser tho!!!
As”Jimi” was to the guitar, Rob is to turntables A true GENIUS 🔊🔊🔊🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵
I'm so impressed how you can have a conversation while rocking out. Me on the other hand, I'm like quiet please, can't you see I'm working over here mannnnn! #brolicarmrocks
C'mon people, this is Rob showing a video from his youth, to show how he developed his juggles and patterns, to inspire the next generation to go out and just jam, bounce off each other and not be afraid to make mistakes along the way. This is his foundation he's exposing. Just enjoy it, why do you need to try to find the negatives? This is just a natural interaction with couple of friends, don't knock his buddy for talking to him! Thy're both of the standard that they can juggle and chat (to a certain extent!). Rob's right in his description, that the more funky the original, the more funky the juggle.
I'm more of a beat match DJ, but I do have a go at scratching and beat juggling as it helps with speed
Lmao,just stubbled on to this video and he says to rob “you need new tables and a mixer” 😂 and in the same breath you are dmc champion and they didn’t give you a new mixer,😂😂😂 obviously he doesn’t listen to himself talk😂😂😂
This TH-cam channel is a GOLD MINE!
It's been a long time I did beat juggling. Need to get back into it.
Damn that guy gabs too much! I would've told him to chill and listen -you have patience.
Even more patience is required to learn how to "beat juggle".
Rob Swift Do you use some of your juggles to help make beats? For me, juggling, and just playing with the music on the turntables helped me make beats out of the records I used. It's like watching the turntable go around in a low light setting helped me zone out into another world and hear the sounds of the music so I can play with them using dj techniques. That is one major reason why I can't go to cdj's or controllers for production, unless maybe the controller has a motorized platter but it still isn't the same as a turntable because picking up the needle plays a part in the process as well. Damn, I went of on a tangent. My bad.
Iamyouonlydifferent Yeah, I like to that when it comes to wanting to play the music like when using a drum machine but, it's something about watching the turntable go around, that puts me into another world. I'ts hypnotic. For juggling,, I don't want to do that because the beauty of juggling is it's free form so anything can come about if you just like the record rock, and you come up with ideas on the fly. If I used cue points, it would have to be planned, and won't be the same. Once, I figure out a routine, yeah controllers would be good, especially at a party so I would be sure nothing goes wrong, and mess up the flow of the party. I do like controllers though, especially for being able to move quickly and still be creative because everything stays clean, and accurate as far as loops and samples.
love these kinds of sessions man just practise and vibe with mates while building ideas / patterns. Dope!
I like how you turn your mistakes around I wish I never got discourage about Dee Jaying and kept it up instead of being stuck in the regular life rut watching your vids make me want to get back into it
Respeto rob swift , raices latinas saludos de colombia :D:D
Been practicing on these doubles alil while ago. Now this makes me want to hit them up again. Thanks for the motivation B!
Ultra dope stuff man. I can't wait to get my 2nd turntable so i can start jugglin, looks like a lot of fun : D
A beast @ his craft!!
rockin
Jeez the Video Description! On fucking point! 💪🏽
dope as
xtra dope
he talkin too much
Lately i like to work w artifacts cmon w da get down remix
That guy in the background is talking nonstop! He can't tell you are in a zone? Instead of talking about what you're doing he's talking about other miscellaneous stuff. Props on the video.
Seem like he has alot of energy
Your man needs to ssssshhhh and take notes
TallBlackMan Jones
you aint even knowin.
I think Rob wanted the other guy to stop talking🤷🏾♂️
Rob this is hot man! I'm messing around with Wu's Cash Moves and wanted to see if you could post a short video juggling with it?
Check out young Rob lol. This gotta be 94/95
Side note dude just won't shut up LOLOLOLLL
He looks like a young El P ;)
You're right on many fronts in terms of music but if you use records that audiences know all the time then change them it's old.The key factor is SHOCK value.New sounds with old skills you'll see.I used to be just like you until I realized great musicians we all look up to such as Micheal jackson transcended 3 decades by changing his sound and still keeping his signature style,Madonna same thing.These may not be your kind of musicians but they do make my point. Even in hip hop emcees have had to change lyric styles ,delivery, and the beats too from break beats to todays fully made from studio.
Appreciate you sharing this with us! Also is therr any type of cream I can put on my fingers, I have to lick my fingers like simister everytime I dj.
I don't think a cream for scratching exists.
***** thanks man ill look it up
Rob I Have 2 Questions does the slipmat have to be butter smooth to do what your doing? And How would you break it down for a beginner for beat juggling I have the flow I just wanna know how you make a different beat? If you have time to reply thank you so much thatd be really cool
Yeah you need a smooth slip matt you want to be able to spin the record and get 2 spins from it, if you spin it back and it only spins for 1 spin it won't be quick enough
Absolutely fucking fresh routine! But it didn't need a) your boy gabbin' so much and b) the self-serving captions! We know you're dope dude you don't have to spell it out for us!
Challenge accepted 😉
*sinister
Damn kid stop gabbin
Rob, Am I bugging or was that Michael Rappaport?
OMG, lol! Couldn't take it. Just STFU, listen and nod ya head.
Hmm, that reply to a two year old comment was kinda harsh don't cha think?
He talk to much just listen 😂😂😂
This guys talks way to much. He needs to shut up and let you concentrate. 😏
Tbh when you are jammin with other djs you have to learn to chat and mix.
LOL
Dude talking too much.
As”Jimi” was to the guitar, Rob is to turntables A true GENIUS 🔊🔊🔊🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵
