This is awesome- seeing your home made invention (with sharpies and elestic bands, no less) played so well and Jazzy Jeff smiling broadly hearing and seeing it is an absolute joy.
Straight outta the 80s! How cool to have DJ Jazzy Jeff not only critique your video and methods, but praise them too! Having someone of his status tell you how you understand the ethos, and bring it to life in an entirely new way, while retaining the essence of "old skool" scratching, is awesome! Bravo!
That dude is soon to be 59 years old but looks and shows the enthusiasm of a guy half his age. Doing what you love must keep you young. Amazing skills on your marvelous machine btw. Mind blowing.
DAMMMMNNNN...I've never seen DJ Jazzy react like that to another DJ's work. He was truly in awe of your work, the scratchin & your instrument. How in the world did you ever think to translate scratching into linear 2 in. tape?
this has under 1000 views and only 15 comments rn..so i had to post before it's huge, obvious that your sound engineering and resulting output are exceptional.
It's funny you say you have to post a comment before it got huge. Does it matter if it huge or not? It could stay at low views but that doesn't mean the video is bad. A lot of people.ake great videos that people don't see. The video is dope tho.
Getting that co-sign from Jazzy Jeff is like getting Steph Curry telling you that you have a nice shot, or Peyton Manning telling you "Nice Throw". That is the ultimate compliment.
Completely agree with your analogy! Except Peyton Manning was known for throwing "ducks" on the field meaning he threw a lot of wobbly passes. But he also threw a lot of wobbly touchdowns! LOL!
Same energy as Jacoby Shaddix when dude shows him their super slow, melancholy version of Last Resort And Coby Dick has the biggest smile on his face, hands behind his head, fingers intertwined, taking it all in, and finishes with huge praise I absolutely love it
MATE! Why the hell is this not trending?! As someone who has seen Jam Master Jay do this live (and attempted to copy and fail on turntables myself), this was truly dope. Seriously, seriously dope. Massive respect to your technological talents, not to mention your musical talent.
Reminds me of Flash’s homemade drum machine, of which surprisingly little information exists. There’s recordings of him using it but almost nothing about how it actually works.
This is why america is a global superpower and cannot be defeated in any way shape or form. Truely incredible people. The world is a great place because of your efforts. Much appreciated from Australia. Thankyou
This was super cool to see on so many levels. You being able to show such a sick homage to someone else’s work, in a unique manner that you invented, for them to witness and genuinely have that kind of reaction…that’s some special stuff right there. Kudos on absolutely everything that went into this and I’m so happy you got to have such a special moment to remember. Thank you for sharing and to Jazzy Jeff for giving permission to do so. Stay creative!
Jeff is dope AF. He really seems to embrace technology. Over the holidays I watched his live streams like crazy and Nu-Mark challenged him to an all vinyl set. It was enjoyable but you could tell he was a little out of his comfort zone. I haven't peeped his rig close enough to see if he uses them but you don't even need needles when scratching vinyl in Serrato now. Keep doing what you're doing. Try not to get too lost in perfecting all the super subtle characteristics. Jeff was impressed enough with the older version without the weighted playheads.
I found this guy a long time ago. I was amazed that he had the enthusiasm to take the time and build this thing and keep at it. He could have just went out and bought some tables. He has like 3 or 4 different prototypes. It's nuts. When I first started scratching I would steal the turntable from my parents old console stereo and had to put penny's on the needle head just so it wouldn't skip. If your into people being creative look on you tube fir a guy from Arizona scratches on a boombox cassette. He uses 2 of them to mix and scratch. Sounds kinda good too. Dj craze found him and was mind blown. How the hell does he keep the cue? He even does back and forth. Always loved the scratch sound.
I watched this with jaw agape. It sounded 100% flawless--not only was the scratching perfect, I couldn't tell I wasn't listening to vinyl. Just all of the wow.
ONE YEAR LATER!! So glad DJJJ was cool with putting this out! it was such a thrill to have this unplanned interaction and "reaction video" unfold right before us during the meeting. It was truly amazing!!
@@leonardhpls6 The irony of you calling OP pathetic... yet opting to do so via replying to a comment made by his coworker -- implying you had clearly just spent your time hate-scrolling the entire comment section prior to writing said reply.
My jaw hurts from the fall! That was ridiculously cool! Not only is the machine killer but your skill/rendition was next level! And congrats on the certified legit complement! 💯
Doooood- that was phenomenal! Seems like you have the "soul" of a true DJ! And to see Jazzy Jeff's off-the cuff reaction like that was fantastic! Keep doing what you're doing!
this is one of the most inventive things i’ve ever seen. thank you for your contribution to this space! decades later, and there are still tricks to be learned. 🙂
That was so cool! I guess I thought you were going to be working with reel-to-reel, but I wasn't sure what to expect really when the video started. Then you started doing your thing and I was so blown away. It was also cool to watch DJ Jazzy Jeff's reaction when you started going as well. Kudos to you! It was a privilege to get to watch that. And I'm happy for you that you got that rad moment with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff.
So cool. Love seeing such an unexpected pairing of people come together to celebrate such a cool art form. I just hope real DJ-ing and turntablism don’t become lost art forms.
This was awesome! I remember having a Walkman where I could press certain buttons halfway down and get different effects with the pitch o f the music but this was next level great work!!!!
1.8k views, 125 thumbs up! To be honest, should be like 1000 times what it is. Amazing scratching machine and like Jazzy Jeff said, wow you are a genius!
Just another reason why the DJ is named first in the group. He’s such a down to earth dude!! I got to see jazzy Jeff in concert in 1989. It was fresh and def.
Thank God that this arrived on my feed. That was amazing, and seeing one of your heroes reacting to your work?! That setup looked like a musical instrument really. Having a header like a bottleneck slide, using your fingers on the tape like playing a guitar, even having a foot pedal! Amazing!
It's like watching someone play a homemade trumpet, but it sounds exactly like a guitar solo. You are a genius for being able to take resulting sounds and patterns from one form, and use an entirely different form to reproduce them, and the experience of producing them as an artist. It's like reinventing the paint brush to look like a tomato, but yet it works just as well as the paint brush. In fact, it works better...you don't have to destroy vinyl. You can still get the analog feel for the turntables, as the DJ, not removed from it by technological advances of the last 2 decades...a real tactile control, much like an old muscle car, without the safety of traction control and anti-lock brakes; you're in control, for better or worse. And still getting to experience this active and hands-on way to interact with your instrument, without having to sacrifice vinyl...you could really be onto something. I'm more than impressed. Oh, and you could scratch like a mofo too? Showoff...lol
Came over from IG reels snippets, cuz the short version just doesn't do the clip + reaction justice. Flowers given and flowers deserved! Can only imagine having the icon in the field that must have had an massive influence on your passion, be the one who gives them to you?👏👏
Human ingenuity at it's best. The trial and error to figure this out had to be extensive. Good stuff. Getting complimented by Jazzy Jeff is envied by many.
Wow I remember signing up to your updates back in oct 2014, a little skeptical of its very early designs but Im so glad you got your product in its final stages. I cant wait to get my hands on one!
Dude I saw your clip on IG and I'm so happy there was a longer version. You are awesome and not to mention brilliant! And shout out to DJ Jazzy Jeff! Legend!
This is simply amazing😯. I loved how Jeremy was able to connect the dots that create the sound in turntablism, and create something so ingeniously authentic. 👍🏼

Bro didn't just scratch he scarily recreated the whole routine. Props. The kick pedal aspect is lit as hell.
Part of his rig was markers and rubber bands. Absolute mad scientist rig
This is awesome- seeing your home made invention (with sharpies and elestic bands, no less) played so well and Jazzy Jeff smiling broadly hearing and seeing it is an absolute joy.
Seeing was cool, hearing it was rad!
Jeremy would have melted the audience's faces off if he performed this live on the set of In Living Color in the 80's

This dude should have a billion views.
The look of astonishment on Jeff’s face is a beautiful thing
Scratching with tape is brilliant. I didn't know that was even a thing, let alone that it'd sound so much like a turntable.
As a DJ, and a lifelong fan of Jazzy Jeff, which is my #1 DJ idol as well, it is something when you can blow away even him.
Great work done here
All the 80s babies in here smiling big. We appreciate y'all for bringing it back ❤
Crazy ASF .. Imagine if in the 80s/90s all DJs designed their own scratch rigs that would've been a crazy tech boom
Reminds me of Flash’s homemade drum machine, of which surprisingly little information exists. There’s recordings of him using it but almost nothing about how it actually works.

This is one of those turning points in music even if the tech is over 30 years old (much older lol), this is revolutionary, a truly genius idea 🔥🔥💯

Completely blown away as Jeff was by your tape routine. So happy for you to have this well deserved moment. Props man

with videos like this, it will always stay alive
It’s wonderful to see how HipHop has touched people’s lives. This is absolutely awesome.
Damn I mean like really damn , I never seen anything like it , so good man much probs and love

Amazing technology at its finest!
This is so damn cool. Congrats, that's gotta be an awesome feeling.
This is amazing dude I love it and Jazzy Jeff loving it is even better!

Love how the tape quality gets crappier and crappier with each pass on the head. Very neat.
nothing short of incredible

this makes me smile.turntablism was huge part of my life when i was younger.
Damn. You deconstructed and reconstructed scratching in a whole different format.
Wow! So innovative and fun to watch, glad to see Jazzy is having fun too, bravo!
This is amazing. I look forward to seeing what you do with this cool invention
Literally the most impressive thing I've seen in years - lets make this go viral!
Seen this year's ago. Dope as hell. Someone give him a job asap

why is it that people with the last name bell are next-level exceptional inventors
That ish was crazy.... Inventive as hell and a great open-minded creation to push forward a different approach to the art...
That is insanely cool... it should be widely shared and the.masses must know of this invention!!! Well done!!
