[@INTshyt]

there's no dj who can freak a beat like d-styles! my favorite scratch dj EVER

[@luistorre669]

deZusCHRIST what do you mean by freak a beat?

[@INTshyt]

Luis Torre it means he flows on the beat super well and super smooth. freaking a beat is riding the beat like butter

[@luistorre669]

deZusCHRIST there are plenty... but we all have opinions and i have a few names i can drop

[@INTshyt]

true. and I can bet you the dudes you name drop will have d styles in their top list

[@luistorre669]

LoL on the contrary... he may have them on his top list. so here’s one DJ JAZZY JEFF

[@DJ_PROMO_PR]

A true LEGEND. If I dust off my 1200's and go back to turntablism it will be because of these videos.

[@j-boogiebrown9961]

I sold my turntables in '03/'04, but I never stopped writing down ideas for routines, for if I ever got back into it. I'm so old now that I realise I'll probably never get back into it. I'll probably end up giving all of my ideas to my nephew, who is 11, if he ever gets into it.

[@coereyw]

And if you don't sell them to me

[@IronCharioteer]

@@j-boogiebrown9961 Did the same thing as you. Sold the decks but always kept up with the scene, checking out routines and vids. But now, 15yrs after selling everything, i found myself with the money and motivation to get back into it and now i'm back on the tables every day. I got my decks (AT-LP1240's) and an a mixer (Reloop ELITE) right before the stay-at-home orders went into effect so now I work from home and get to scratch while programs are running for work, great timing. I'm 43yo and i know i'll probably never get back to the level i was at before i stopped but I'm making multitrack mixtapes for friends and working on getting my scratch back up to par. So glad i got back into it, don't let age stop you from doing something you love.

[@showlowitsqueentlee2737]

@@IronCharioteer just turned 40 in may. used to love scratching. was on d's board and asisphonics. had a few friends in phoenix and we'd have hours long sessions sometimes. was so fun. i was so convinced something great was going to come of it. at some point i decided it was a musical dead end tho. the wider musical world never really made room for turntablists. lost faith in it. seems like everyone thought the same because the scene evaporated. couple days ago i found myself wanting to hear it again. started with switchblade sermons. been binging scratch vids all week now. kinda wanna get a table and a mixer and pick it up again. got two little kids now and no time or space. prob not going to happen.

[@djbobbyd3985]

I like that fact that during your scratch practice you pick out a particular scratch, like the title says and focus on it, this one being the OG Flare. That's a great idea. Excellent video, once again, with your skills, making it look real easy. ✌Out

[@rosadoalex]

Hands down the best scratch tutorials in the internet. D-Styles needs to be in the GOAT conversation.

[@djorig]

D-Styles. Thank you so much for putting out these videos!! Although there are many videos already out there, it’s about time we see your take. 🙏

[@tech1238]

One of the best to ever do it!

[@WHITEOWLSWORLD]

You are by far my favorite turntablist. Thank you for making these for us!! means a lot!

[@jonathanbailey1597]

D-styles has been consistently blowing me away for 20 years. THAT is a funky, technical innovator right there. Patterns not just for days, but for decades. Scratch hypnosis!!

[@kevinthebassfelon1304]

Hells yes..... D-Styles is pure talent!! Practice makes for perfection and having these videos to draw off of, is paramount when learning. I grew up listening to Qbert & MixMaster Mike, But was completely Lit when I saw DJ Craze win in 1999. We all Appreciate you D-Styles. Thank You D!!! Peace to the Beast. L8er vader.

[@djninjanoize]

you make me love scratching again.

[@donseouloh3104]

Around 1996 I started getting my hands on mix tapes from the Bay Area and I began scratching ever since. Craziest is part is I did not have internet growing up and never knew these scratches had names and who created them. I know I can't be the only one haha

[@barrywatts8501]

Haha og flare is my best skratch technic. 3 years on off praticing this lol. Almost as clean with full speed. Keep at it. Never give up skratching intelligence hands don't work any more 👏

[@dancellabz]

Super Dope D! Make MORE PLEASE

[@ConnahJay]

[@djcutastrophe2805]

[@buddafingaz9403]

Sounds great, what is an OG Flare, im just curious, thanx homie, always trying to learn new things things with skratching, your awesome, & appreciated my ninja...... 👍👊💪🙏😎🔥💯

[@djchubbithecheka6050]

Do you keep your hand on the record while moving forward or is it like a drop?

[@djdeemz7651]

He takes it off but only slightly like 1cm or less or he is touching but motor is doing it , always keep close as you can , D has no wasted movements if you watch closely , even on the fader

[@Davidik85]

Love your shit man, thanks for the teaching

[@Bboykidcombo]

Respect 🙏🐯🙏

[@smoke1va]

So inspirational man.

[@dublup]

[@calimangrower1590]

[@AntonioAleo]

[@nevergone3424]

I wonder how many celebrity dj's here using an alt account

[@calimangrower1590]

ISP!

[@fightforyourright1527]

sir ano title ng beat?

[@copper-coloredmvskoke8899]

flavaz...

[@traum640]

WTF? This is something you mess up on? In comparison to your OG Flare I mess up when I power on the mixer.

[@tablist33]

All humbling & inspiring listening so some of the "behind the scene" dj; super talented, clean & done effortlessly! TSL - N Texas Circa_75 www.texasscratchleague.com

[@kevinthebassfelon1304]

I am thinking Rane mixer ALL The Way Live, but D-Styles is on pioneer. No biggie, Just wondering why One Of The Best is using, Not the Worst but Certainly {MidLevel on a good day.} NOT The BEST. I have to admit, using "not the best equipment" will sharpen skills when practicing and then Mobbin on Rane, Vestax, Technics, or Allen &Heath. All Personal Preference I guess.

[@Devestato72]

lol, he can win a scratch comp. based of his practi6...smh

[@iknNR]

d-styles is for me personally a definition of what should be skratching about... tons of inspiration!

[@GeezMuzick]

You can't watch this and say turntables aren't an instrument.

[@kevindickens6060]

What is the name of that beat? Where can I find this on KZbin?

[@cruicksta]

Anyone know the name of this beat?

[@Underdog_Basketball]

Generic scratch bear

[@Underdog_Basketball]

Beat* lol

[@TargetAcquisition]

Whoever dislikes this is because they bought STD breaks thinking it would cure their syphilis and herpes.

[@nagoyaboya]

I wish I had started off scratching non-hamster whenever I watch D-styles.

[@DJPrimeCuts1]

The best.

[@tommyvizzle]

Dude's just casually bending time, amazing!

[@JefeJeffAlmanza]

Love his cuts on "Agony" by AWOL 1 and Daddy Kev.

[@Xx2ED]

d-styles always have the stickiest flow

[@garrettb2057]

Mesmerizing. Absolutely amazing, the true art in turntablism right here

[@NeduLopes]

Damn... so fking clean!

[@WebangDubstep]

Wow that seriously helps a ton. I grew up DJing 20 years ago in a small town watching you ISP. Never could find anyone to explain techniques we would just teach ourselves. Looks like I get to practice some more scratching again! Please make more I love the 1/4 1/8 1/16 demonstrations. I am inspired!

[@durplehaze6484]

It's like the aural equivalent of those "SO SATISFYING" videos where people play with jell-o and stuff... D-Styles the master

[@barrywatts803]

Thank you so much Dave! Getting og flare down. Must of watched this vid about 40 times. Love to see more from the master. 3 months in and I'm really getting used to double click fader. Just starting to put tares in my two click orbit flare. I'm still a bit ruff but getting there. Peace

[@ignitore]

But making the clicks on the reverse part is the same? It feels more more natural for me.

[@scottbeard7741]

I eat sleep and breath to hate this man MY FLARE IS NOT OG. DJ ABC MACCLESFIELD UK 🇬🇧 D STYLES there is no other

[@Astroboytoy]

Better than Qbert's tutorial

[@barrywatts803]

I'm getting it. Timing is everything. My scratches have been sounding a bit wrong and it's my timing!! It's great as the more you get into practicing scratching a greater understanding. So luck to have these legends to learn from. Big respect D )

[@djimma5080]

dude check out TT notation , if your fade cuts or off its still right as there are hundreds of variations of flares and orbits depending on where the cuts are located , so your still doing a scratch just not this one . In total there are around 4000+ scratches , there are over a 1000 with just your record hand and no fader , In other words dude keep going at it will come

[@tedmosby9409]

What beats you guys useing or drum library I like the stuff I hear from u guys has a uk garage vibe

[@krolkoolmarek7074]

Give me instrumental name ?

[@IphoneTsay]

60-70 bpm?

[@falkonerockstarrz]

Big up maximum ftom Brussels

[@leebrandon3842]

omg this is poetry in motion. holy shit this is beautiful. i think him and q bert are neck and neck to the best scratchers in the universe.

[@kevinthebassfelon1304]

I "could" agree with ya, IMO, Craze has a few horses in that race though.

[@seanwallz]

[@mcyummy.9356]

D-Styles is probably the nearest that anyone has come to actually being a Turntablist. Still no one has truly understood it accept myself. Haha.

[@polocupp]

It's D-Styles Home ?

[@holycutz6821]

wat i like about your scraching its more pernounced rather than just fast its more funk better sounds to me anyway

[@barrywatts803]

Just got to say thumbs down on the video makes no sense!!! Why would anyone not like this!

[@djtheob01]

That's some sick shit right there yo!

[@THOMSUNOMEYEGOD]

Always got to wonder who gives the thumbs down on heaters. Haters everywhere
