Its always cool to see the new generation find our stuff again . Thanks for the nice words. It was an amazing time in SF. I feel blessed to have worked with some truly progressive artists and been a small part of it. Future listening - Live at The Future Primitive - Volume 2 (Ztrip and Radar) - Presage (from Mr Dibbs and Jel) and Urban Revolutions - there’s your homework - holler if you need me … Mark Herlihy

Dope! Thats one of my fave De La Soul songs.

Vajra's 2004 routine is among my all time favorites but the vid of practice from the hotel before the battle as he had skip problems in the actual battle. As sets go the entire ending scratch and drum section could only be reproduced by a very small number of people. The list here it great though, can't complain about any of that.

Sick.

The finesse 😊

C2C @ DMC 2005! nothing comes close

Can you please explain why I would have to use Serato DJ Light? I can't use my current version of Serato DJ Pro?

Nice! Hahaha! 😊

Nice! Who makes that cool little plug in sampler?

As one who is dusting off his turntables and starting again, where are some great places to buy vinyl? Thanks!

Good ideas! One strategy you can use for mixing is listen for the snare. You can still drop on the one but line up those snares and your blends will be seamless. You had it at the end there! Peace!

The 1998 DMC U.S. Finals was indeed a force to be reckoned with. It was the very first DJ competition that I ever bought in my whole life. As for Total Eclipse, I was thinking that you were going to mention his 1997 DMC U.S. Finals routine. It was with A Tribe Called Quest's "What's The Scenario?" featuring the debut of Leaders Of The New School. Now, let me break down my top 5 favorite DJ battle routines, if you please And here it goes: #5. DJ Mysterio-1998 DMC U.S. DJ Mixing Finals #4. DJ Nike-1997 DMC World DJ Championships Eliminations/World Finals #3. DJ Plazticman-1990 DMC U.S. DJ Mixing Finals #2. DJ David-1990 and 1991 DMC World DJ Mixing Finals #1. DJ Trip (R.I.P.)-1991 DMC World DJ Mixing Finals Another honorable mention of my personal favorite is DJ Reckless from the 1990 DMC World DJ Mixing Finals.😁

DJ Craze 99 is my personal no. 1. I'd love to see another video about crew battles tho :)

I only wished it was longer, all choice cuts ✂️ 🔥

A-Trak 2002 All-Star beatdown particularly the Getyafreakon / Trans Europ Express bit he uses out of 2001 DMC showcase is sick to this day, Akakabe 2004 supremacy performance is still nuts, Phels and Izohs routines in 2005, Dj Troubl is another all time favorite, super tight skill set makes you wanna practice, musical and technical, 2002 battle for supremacy (and his 2006) was just straight power, aggressive, tight, musical and hard AF.. legit bodybag material, so many tho

STRONG choice for first song!!

Just subcribed! Go hard bro! You got this!!!

Where can I find the actual battle?

If you really wanna talk DJ BATTLE in a DMC setting you have got to mention DJ Cash Money responding with "callin' me a sucker?" to the "I'm Cash Money's m0therfuck3r" diss by DJ All Star Fresh in the 1988 final.

i am missing 88 winning set of cash money. he never was the fastest, he was never the best juggling battler.but he was kinda like hendrix, his sick moves, his charisma, his choice to start with play this only at night ( phantasm theme). it was the most impressive atmosphere i can remember. some ppl do not have to be the best in anything and still just....got it. like dj-noize, who destroyed better technical contenders by his amazing body language (like f.e. the diaz brothers in mma and how they were able to go opponents into berzerk mode and won this way. and even if they lost, after the fight, at the press conference they were the winners. its so sad, that today most djs battle with pioneers and premades. even if the performance is good or technical great, they will be forgotten soon. pred or prey often depends on the way you fight :D

I hope the star wars scratch is in here

What the music in the background 👍👍💯💯

One of the funkiest mixes!

No definitely not the best, bionic booger breaks are the greatest breaks ever.. But I would put super duck breaks second, good shout. DJ flare with Hee Haw brayks was the most used in my collection for word vocal scratching, had so many battle breaks in the days, don't forget frosted breaks think that was rectangle. very much loved and well used, amazing days so much better than now. Excellent channel.

Wicked..unseen Perverts footage..Thank-you

I was really lucky I got to see most number one DJs and rappers live on the 80s.From Too short, the Egyptian lover,Ice cube, Ice T, Michael Jackson, Stacy Q, and everyone from Motown, singing those oldies at the Hollywood Bowl, you name it, I was on first robe. Those were the greatest years ever, Got to cruise Hollywood Blvd on my brand new Toyota minitruck, with 50.000 watts and 8 15 inchers in the back, the front full of girlies.There was no seatbelt laws those days, sometimes I had like 9 girls in that little cab, sometimes I even had a girl on the left side in my single seat cause they wouldn't fit, another one riding between the shifter,man, wearing those little miniskirts, I used to change gears like it was a big rig with 20 gears

I remember watching one time around 1985, together with uncle jams army, the DJ from the movie breaking, cutting and scratching backwards on 4 turntables on Reseda CA skating rink.Never seen that done anymore. Every DJ is unique, though, nothing easy. I used to DJ with a friend from kaleidoscope, and got to play at Florentíne Gardens Hollywood on the 80s

Thanks for posting this great footage of Turntablist/DJ history pare!

I prefer the 99 craze set but hey 🤷🏻‍♂️

Digital Djing has destroyed the whole turntablim art and 2023 dmc just proved it😢

Well I just saw the technics 2023 dmc championship and was joke about as funny as Russel peters

Plus One DMC 2001 world championships. Using both hands on one fader to double up the clicks was a staple Skratch Perverts technique I still struggle to pull off.

Yo pare!

I challenge you to a duel, Your Spin/KO II VS My Omni/SP 404 MKii!
