It's a wierd one ain't it, when people start talking sensibly it all falls into place, otherwise it's just a slagging match - good read though haha

I've been playing House for years, mostly bassline driven Tech House, but if necessary I'll dust off my Funky House.

Nothing recent, I'm working on the You Ain't Winnin remix at the moment which is proving hard because I don't have my studio monitors over here so I'm having to use headphones which I don't like.

Scratchin over anything other than hip hop shouldve died with happy hardcore in my opinion.

no, then you can call yourself a proper TURNTABLIST

 

calling yourself a DJ is too vague anyway, most EDM djs are beatmatchers

america teaches english just fine. in fact, i cant understad half of the people on here because they speak so much european slang... what the hell does INNIT mean anyway? and i know that i dont type correctly with my capitols and whatnot, but thats because i dont feel like capitolizing anything unless its someones name or its important to the point im trying to make. if i wanted to, i could write an essay that would make my 3rd grade english teacher moisten her thong... i merely type the way i talk

Christ man, if you honestly believe that you have to scratch to be a DJ you need to go and get your head checked out. I've won 2 DJ competitions against a variety of DJs, including turntablists, playing House and Techno - go figure, I don't scratch and I don't need to scratch, you've just been fed Mixmag propoganda that Eddie Halliwell is the best thing since sliced bread, he can do one scratch and thats it, his programming is among the worst in the industry, anyone with any sort of sense knows that he is extremely average...


i have 3 things to say to this comment:

1. turntablism is alot more difficult than beatmatching and mixing, and turntablists are highly underrated

2. if you beat a turntablist in competition using beatmatching and mixing skills, then whoever threw this competition deserves a slap... you shouldnt even be competing against someone from a completely different category

3. anyone ever hear of Dj Swamp? he was Beck's dj (you know "im a loser babaaaay, so why dont you kill meeee") and is a turntablist GENIUS.

 

all that being said, im not a turntablist, i beatmatch, mix, cut, and add in, however i do admire good turntablists for choosing the more difficult, less famous road

I would like to be able to scratch very well! IMO its not a matter of its cool or not on HH/NRG. Its a matter of personal DJing style. I´ve only heard two DJ´s scratching on HardHouse/NRG that sounded very good and not overdone.. Ilogik and Rodi Style.thumbsup

Im English mate and i hate "innit". A word used by the iliterate, i BELIEVE to make themselves, sound like Londoners. To be fair the first people i heard use this 'word' were the pakis that live in Luton. I think it is meant o abbreviate "isn't it??" but to add the question "Isn't it" on to the end of most of the sentences they use it on makes no sense at all.
