Maximum respect from all the turntablists around the world who know this routine beat for beat and can appreciate how spot fucking on you nailed it !! All I can say is that routine got me to buy my first mixer in 1986 ! Well done 👍🏼

Happened upon this video after going down an '80s electrofunk rabbithole. The only thing that gave it away as not being the original was the digital recorder. Without that detail I would have been convinced it was the original mix. Brilliant work!
This one also sounds a lot cleaner compared to the og. Not necessarily digital in the squashed sense we're so familiar with nowadays, but the original is just super thick and dirty. I kinda like this one a little bit better.
Always remember seeing Grandmaster Flash tearing down Wembley at UK Fresh 86 with the Furious Five and of course being able to witness his turntable fitness doing his Wheels of Steel routine - fantastic and awe inspiring memories of when deejays were real deejays with their decks, mixer and a stack of funky breaks on vinyl and no pre programmed BS or laptops!
Bought the vinyl in 1981 and it began a nearly 40 year musical journey for me that’s still continuing. Amazing to see this done live for the first time. Respect 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
What a great fantastic tribute to Grandmaster Flash! The first time I heard that record was in a club in Honolulu Hawaii in 1981 and I had to ask the DJ who it was and bought it as soon as I returned to the mainland. It made me want to be a DJ! EXCELLENT JOB! ❤
I have heard the original recording of this routine 1000 times or more. I have memorized every cut, break and nuance of this record and can honestly say I thought I was watching an impostor until about 3/4 of the way when some of the scratches sound levels and track clicks and pops of some sections didn't match the original which was a very pleasant surprise. Awesome job man.👍
I also know the original by memory since I was 12 I've been listening to it and in my opinion he's playing the original and pretend that he is scratching I hope I'm wrong
Yo, this is EPIC! Much respect. I've been cutting and mixing since the 90s and I don't think a lot of people "get" the difficulty level here (timing, pitch, etc.) So dope. I know flash apparently used 3 tables but the one thing I've always wanted to know is how he did the "flash is/good", "flash is/good" part. Those party noises had to have been the crew live in the studio with him just cutting "good" in response to the live MC because there's no way to "juggle" that part that I can think of. Anyway, this was ill.
So, there are actually two versions. The original version did not have Melle Mel and the crowd, it ended just like DJJOHNNYM did here. It was at least a month or two after the first one came out that the extended version with Melle Mel's rap came out. I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard the extended version!
As this record is THEE sole reason I wanted to learn how to DJ back in 1981 , I can say Brother DJ Johnny M... Great show of study, skill and respect of and for the greatest DJ ever, my and our musical father Grandmaster Flash! #salute
This is what 100% analog sounds like (except for the small pieces from The Hellers and Flash Gordon). Music created from a read-only device that was designed, and for decades, used only to play music. Fantastic remake of the Grandmaster’s art piece. No 1’s and 0’s in this creation
👏👏👏👏👏 Fantastic!👏👏👏 👏👏 I've heard the original countless times over the past 25 years or so. It was pretty much the anthem to my teenage years, so it holds a special place in my heart. It also means I know it inside-out by ear, and this blew my mind. Amazing. 👌 Great to see how it's done with the video too! Thanks!
this was fire. only one thing - Flash did it ambidextrous-ly; spinning with the mixer in the middle - cutting & scratching.... WITH BOTH hands. it's a dj science thing; everybody wouldnt understand.
Flash is one of the greatest DJs to have ever touched a turntable. If anyone was lucky enough to have this 12 inch, Flash gave credits to every sample he used, something unknown during the early 80s.

Even caught the phase at the end! Incredible set. Top boy for pulling off what every scratch DJ, vinyl manipulator or turntablist have all fantasised about! Easy as you made that look you had to have grafted to get that set tight. Thank you rockerfellah for that was mustard!
I don't EVER comment, but GODDAMN!!!... I hope half the people, that are luck enough to see this video, understand what DA F*** you just did!... Keep it up. MAD PROPS BRO!!!
Thanks for bringing me back to my very first time I heard it.....loooong time ago. It surprises me how I still remember all the cuts and scratches... thanks.
I did this same routine back in 2000 my senior talent show. TH-cam blocked the video. This is how i learned to scratch, juggle (Cue burned the f outta some records lol). Its a shame youtube shunned me. Great job man!
Amazing, I used to listen to this on the way to school in a taxi in 1981, the taxi driver used to play it all the time and you have done it complete justice, AMAZING skills...👏👏👏!!!!!
Grandmaster flash Was right down the street from where I lived back in the day. West side of The boogie down Bronx NY. ( Morton place, between Harrison avenue and university Ave.) Love our old school HISTORY
Man..you have brought tears in my eyes with some really cool memories. However, the way it is being done in a live session is just unbelievably perfect.Much respect,man you just made my day
I was actually looking for an original recording but I guess you're spot-on with this one. Good work! Songs used (for those who care): Monster Jam by Spoonie Green Rapture by Blondie Good Times by Chic Apache by Incredible Bongo Band Another One Bites the Dust by Queen
Human error at 3:22 😀. And a few very, very minor ones which truly shows this is a true replication of the original, and not a fake. It takes a lot of talent to reproduce this
Wow! This changed my life I remember listening to pirate radio.I remember going what’s this tune? And it blew my mind and made me want to learn scratching ! thank you flash for introducing me to hip-hop culture 👍🏼 I’m an English fan of yours.
The skill it takes to do this in one take is unbelievable. You sir are probably one of the only people that can do this, besides Grandmaster Flash himself
yes they do... it's just record companies don't want to license tracks... check THIS out! (C2C destroying all competition at DMC 2005) th-cam.com/video/iP-86de-oUA/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely!! I myself have been djing since the 80's. I come across alot of younger dj's that sound good using Serato or Edjing app but would be a disaster spinning vynal. I always make it very clear that spinning vynal shows your true skills as a dj.
What I notice about new routines is the constant loop . The old-school vibe would play tracks and add to there sounds. New djs ay constant loops and make out it's all me? So if the record was not made where would you be? People like GMF talked constantly about the artist, the roots.
Found my comment from a year ago. Since bought a pair of decks and just the amount of skill gone into this is unreal. Can't wait to learn this as a project.
I searched TH-cam specifically looking for someone reproducing this dope routine. You fucking nailed it down to the millisecond. I didn't think it was even possible to do with only two turntables.
YO!!!!!! you killed that bro. the exact same cutz , time, cadence. and you did it classic style with the fader in the middle the whole time prob how GMF did on the the old Traynor mixer with the wooden trim..
@@oneflowerninjamagic1912 he is referring to the position of the ch1-ch2 fader he doesn't use it to fade or cut. The DJ uses the ch1-ch2 Volume level slides to scratch cut and fade, way different technique than Traditional in a sense
@@RocknRollZombie13 Ok that may be what's he referring to. But he also suggest that - that's how GMF "probably" did it. My contention is... not likely. I never saw Flash use the channel fader volume to fade - but the fader itself. And Flash cut&scratch with both hands. NOT with the mixer to one side of the tables?! I'm humble enough to accept correction; however.... am I wrong?
magic yes your correct Traditionally the mixer is always in the center that's the manufacturer's design I have a few Original portable DJ turntable rigs from the 1960s "LATEC" and they are a single manufactured unit with 2 turntables and mixer in the center. And yes you're correct about Grand Master Flash he did use both hands left to right either one cutting and scratching bangin faders that's the skill! But none the less this Dj is good he killed this SET! I would like to know what that unit is that he is using for his samples. What's the brand and model please
What blows my mind is Flash did this routine in the 1900’s. He was a genius to even think of some shit like that. Respect to the homie duplicating it. You’re nice kid. Word.
Cuzzo you killed it I’m 55 years old I did that routine in my teens my boys said man you can’t do that Flash did that in the studio I use to hang with Jam master Jay man what great times in SOHO studios 🙏🏾 R.I.P Jason
The best scratch & loop routine ever performed & recorded .Its the only track of its kind ever that was played regularly on a NY radio station (BLS ,KTU) back in da day.
And the fact that you used all real Vinyl gave you bonus points for me. you could have easily used the computer and had those songs Easily lined up much Respect
GM Flash is one of my favorite pioneer DJ's who I watched as a kid in the Bronx. Great Tribute. You used the turntables, mixer and LP's as an instrument. I tried to do this with a DJ Controller and could not do what you demonstrate. I like what I saw and enjoyed what I got!
This was absolutely dope 🔥 i remember going to watch Grandmaster flash & the Furious 5 in conert in the early 80s, Grandmaster Flash performed this live. I was 13, i had no idea what he was doing cause at the tîme i never seen scratching before. I figured out a year later what i witnessed 😂 Anyhow, that was amazing 👍 i became a DJ in 1983....
Wow...I'm blown away....I'm very much impressed...my hat goes off to you young man ..I just subscribed to your channel...GRAND MASTER FLASH WAS MY FAVORITE DJ GROWING UP & TO THIS DAY HE STILL IS...MUCH RESPECT TO YOU MY BROTHER 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Stunning. I'm 55. I was there. The Analog years.
Respect. Much respect. And if you here that on 2021, you are and old school guy.

So lucky
I've never heard of Flash actually pulling this off live
@@curtisroyston4984 He did it on the jools holland show on tv. The whole concept of backspinning vinyl came from grandmaster flash.
a true turntablist in action. proper talent. much respect and love from uk!!!
No laptop, no button pushing, no Serato. Just the original vinyls with a great mix like this.
I have this mix on vinyl and Im so happy to be part of thats decade, thanks. Mr. Máster flash god bless U.

JamBurgler I think that came from the first female in rap... that white-girl Blondie's album.. if somebody know if I am correct let you know
it is CD shawn, she did an interview where she did the rap part and it was in homage to GM flash
@def creator KRS-ONE sampled Rapture as well, in the late 90's when I was in HS on Step Into A World.. Huge track at the time
It's actually "Flash Is Cool" and it's from Blondies "Rapture"......"Flash is fast, Flash is cool

+ Queen - ”Flash’s Theme” (From the Flash Gordon O.S.T.) and The Hellers - ”Life Story”, both not mixed in manually for some reason
Human error at 3:22 😀. And a few very, very minor ones which truly shows this is a true replication of the original, and not a fake. It takes a lot of talent to reproduce this
I believe the actual track title you seek is "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel"
Omg that was awesome, inspiring. Gosh I luuuuurve vinyl and PROPER mixing. What an art form!!!
awesome, nice skills, I remember wearing the cassette out on this track when I was 4

The skill it takes to do this in one take is unbelievable. You sir are probably one of the only people that can do this, besides Grandmaster Flash himself
I did this same routine plus Jazzy Jeffs "Touch of Jazz" on the other turntables. TH-cam blocked it because it was better than anyone else's.
Mad respect - opened another tab at one point and forgot it was a cover!
Got nothing but LOVE for this amazing routine. Nailed it 100%.
They don't do it like that anymore ... So easy to push a button on a laptop to change your record and your queue position. This took way more skills!
yes they do... it's just record companies don't want to license tracks... check THIS out! (C2C destroying all competition at DMC 2005)

check out the way the Grand Master was thinking in the pioneering era of turntablism.... th-cam.com/video/yBlmxWE_pT4/w-d-xo.html
i really miss the times i use vinyl discs and K7 tapes ... GREAT TIMES.
aint eatched this for years but this is hands down the best example of djinug turntablism its a total inspiration for me absolutely AMAZING
Yo Johnny… this is a true work of art what you did here sir! Your rendition is pinpoint accurate and no one has recreated it better, E V E R…
Supreme Holmes! One of my earliest musical memories! Sounds killer.
this deserves more views ...... lots more.. awesome job
Absolutely awesome,when I first heard this back then I thought how’s this done but watching you do this is incredible,respect👊🏽👏🏽
Wow! Listening and viewing this brought tears to my eyes. I will always appreciate old school turntablism.
Sorry, I just keep watching this every few months...awesome...
Good Job you took me back. It was a lot of work back then. Time went by fast at the clubs and people appreciated quality work.
ALL I CAN SAY IS RESPECT!!!!!!! HATS OFF!!!!!! DID IT JUST LIKE THE MASTER HIMSELF.
Not just like; the Grand Master was... am·bi·dex·trous.
I’m with flash, I started with vinyl and I’m ending with vinyl. ONE of the greatest to ever do it. LEGENDARY. Bronx, NY.
Had me smiling and grooving the entire set - skill + passion....thank you!! Exceptional!!!
1,000 of hours it took to organize this 6 min song. Well worth it SICK!
like Beethoven's 5th - a masterpiece that will last in perpetuity
Not too shabby..............Who am I kidding, this is DOPE !

Wow that was super impressive and cool to see how it was done.
mate this is a brilliant endeavour!!! I have the original in my car and can confirm this is a perfect rendition. Ace!

GM Flash is one of my favorite pioneer DJ's who I watched as a kid in the Bronx. Great Tribute. You used the turntables, mixer and LP's as an instrument. I tried to do this with a DJ Controller and could not do what you demonstrate. I like what I saw and enjoyed what I got!
Real shit back inthe days joints
This was absolutely dope 🔥 i remember going to watch Grandmaster flash & the Furious 5 in conert in the early 80s, Grandmaster Flash performed this live. I was 13, i had no idea what he was doing cause at the tîme i never seen scratching before. I figured out a year later what i witnessed 😂 Anyhow, that was amazing 👍 i became a DJ in 1983....
Well done! Exactly like the record. Good job dj.
At times, i thought it was the original record. Amazing
Plott twist… this is person is actually Grandmaster Flash
Impressive mix routine! Which goes to show what exceptional job Flash did to begin with.
