Dude is a legit artist. Duck 706

[@bossross4541]

The GOAT. This guy has a musical ear and knows what scratch sounds best when. Too many technically strong DJs just spam moves to impress, but Craze makes it fun to listen to.

[@KingsCountyLightHaus]

I remember being at raves where Craze was headlining 2-3 times, in different genres. His mastery is astounding. The man is a walking argument for the universality of all music.

[@thephorest]

This is what a real hip hop DJ looks like. Craze has been killing it for so long.

[@Dasloth92]

the man is a true artist. he paints with music, his decks are his tools.

[@pillegrosu042]

[@kyle8835]

Craze is the best in the world.. fluent in any genre which is sick too, tear it up mixing hip hop, and anything else, guy was born to do it.. but yeah listening is like watching an artist at work, I agree

[@peeweeprimero1285]

Exactly. Craze is a legend no cap!

[@AlexHagos]

this is by far , something of the most raddest i´ve seen. though i haven´t watched so much dj videos.. but this man knows what he´s doing.. this is real dj ing art. like if you agree

[@Studio_Luvin]

Trollkarlens you’re so right! Like if you agree

[@lauriprojects8546]

fuuuuck that "Legend" part at 1:40 is crazy

[@AuroraCoronell]

You are a rare breed of a DJ, sir...there is hope.

[@MoEnyce]

the way his hands just moves so fast..the set ups...build ups...song selection...just everything..im blown away

[@KP-ul2ep]

His mixing style is so entertaining to watch. i wasn't particularily into some of the tracks he played, but I adored the way he mixed them, I was hooked althrough and never got bored. It's so creative and the use of acapellas, vocal snippets and the wordplays were so clever and truly "told a story".

[@ilieoltean3923]

All the time he's popping with a mix I'm with my ears up...one of the best dj I ever heard!love your work Craze!Best!!!

[@sapora420]

Did anyone else notice at 6:06 "reach back like one three" the moment right before the hook, craze reaches back and takes a sip of water out of his glass. Talk about a true master, his word play is so on point even his subconscious actions are on time. Any one looking for the highest caliber of DJ's? This man is among the best of the best, hands down one of my favorites. Keep Killin' it craze...you are a god.

[@87bearkind]

dope !

[@DJ_Shenanigan00]

yeah i spotted that too, here in the UK we have andy c , I've seen him speak to a fan while trying to mix, tells him he will speak to him after the set(basically fucked him off in a nice way) after he did that he took a sip from his drink at that second he cued up the track put the glass down and dropped the maddest double drop you ever heard. me and a few of my dj mates looked at each other then went crazy for like an hour after that..😂 legend!

[@FugaConManolo]

I was readying your comment when he did that. Trippy 😰

[@megaacademy1870]

Yoooo! He made the melody for I can't stop @35:48. On top of the whole word play at the start, this guy is crazy skilled. I've never heard a DJ do a set like this in a club.

[@wizzylouis60]

18:00 minutes into the mix.."thanks for the drink man" 29:45 "where that drink at?...mmh shit taste good man cheers"..LOL. Such a crisp mixtape, appreciate it DJ Craze and DJ Mag TV. Playing it on loop.

[@bigsqueek-guidry]

coming back ten years later to something that made me wanna explore deeper into djaying Thanks DJ Craze

[@djpfunkwefunkproductions1952]

its catz like u who inspire this 54 yr old dj to strive to get better ,i come from the qbert era who i felt was the master,,but u...are the overlord of spin.keep it alive homie,,lbc ya

[@onelovetao6732]

I feel sad that DJ Craze isn't rich. Compare to the work he puts in DJing.

[@Jroman-ux4qf]

ziqian tao I'm pretty sure he has money not like the top producers but he still got more money than us

[@onelovetao6732]

Yeah, thats what i was talking about. He complained about it saying he wishes to be super rich too, in an interview. My point is, he deserves more than he has now

[@backofthehouse]

skrillex and tiesto are also producers. craze doesnt and doesnt want to produce

[@akzabowtme]

Craze has some solid productions. I think we don't see him flashing his riches. The cost of being a true dj is the pay. I don't think you'll ever see Craze at a festival just pretending to push buttons and having an automated light show in the back lol

[@kaibrizbon]

what makes a top djs by charts is bought & lobbied but the ppl still will see skills and technicals on the real...tiesto is nice tho XD

[@djollie8156]

Not my type of music, but Craze is so good he had me boppin my head. LOL

[@jayb9517]

DJ Craze, one of the best Hip-Hop Dj's ever, EVER!! Him and Q, different styles, both out of this world. Craze let's you see how much fun he's having up there, I've seen him about 5 times, each time sets were on point and amazing.

[@phillhealey843]

This is a good mix in it's own right, but..... Take a second to listen and you've also got to appreciate the skills and technical ability of Craze! But.... Actually L.I.S.T.E.N. to the mix and you've got to be impressed. Theres a really strong theme / message running through the whole set, Each track continues the messages from the previous one. This is a seriously good mix and Craze has clearly put a lot of effort into planning the whole thing from start to finish. The time taken to create this must have been ridiculous.

[@ChristopherSoltis5]

wow; you're so right... i don't usually do this but..... bounce.

[@fc-qr1cy]

no skill its all computer generated

[@Guccifer808]

@@fc-qr1cy wdym? He came from the time no computer-generated mixes. I think he still does it old school, even if not he knows his stuff!

[@microbet.4081]

Really no matter what anybody says just stop and think about how good he has to be...no headphones! Hello!!! lol So he can see the tracks pull them and by seeing the structure of the music he knows it all that well. Come on people think. Also he can spin like any genre on a top tier level, and anybody who is anybody in the industry will agree. Ohhh look at his whole body of work. I mean come on nuff said.

[@iMAKEbeatsPEOPLE]

exactly...im buying my 1st set and I'm a producer...moms was a dj...im learning w no head phones off top...I hear everything already and I see waves all day!!! dude is pure dope!

[@JohnBracaglia]

This set is awesome, but i'm not sure the 'no headphones' is the impressive part. It's like being impressed that someone can use the sync button on cdjs

[@kevinpachecodenverpooltabl6717]

In 1980, you had to rely on your ears. Now theres many aspects to help you mix. Like a visual wavelength. Knowing your songs like the back of your hand helps. My speakers are so loud I can't even hear my headphones anyways. I need booth monitors

[@mrblaze6982]

I back this 💯

[@MM-lo8dn]

He uses sync mode for djing.

[@ZboyZMobileGamingTrailer]

DJ Craze... love you. I interviewed you back in the day in Philly, on my Drum & Bass show. You are a true artist. Big Up!!!

[@TA-ud4rx]

I'm born n raised s. Fla, saw him multiple times in the 90s. Now in Philly lol his mixes never get old

[@Futurensen]

Thank God i discovered your music Craze! Huge respect from Greece!

[@DJHWR]

another dope dj set, CRAZE you are champ !!!

[@djabstrvct3757]

The part starting at 9:30 is some of the most magnificent mixing I have heard in my entire life

[@penuts17]

Just want to big this mix up again. It’s so dope. Thanks one like craze and DJ mag

[@iammek]

I just found this mix, I wish this guy the best success in the world.... his sets are always top shelf

[@djdan_mason]

The cuts at the start so crazy. This guy is one of the best to do it. You see his passion for it.

[@DJKOOLCUTZz]

This is like the most Illest Trap mixshow I have witness from a Real Dj in the game! I do respect to the MIA DJS!!!

[@beatvillainz]

The homie should be getting paid by every single sector of the DJ culture. He excels at displaying the full capabilities of any product on the market. A highly skilled purist that has mastered both analog and digital technology . Hands down ; the greatest performer repn' the art form. Dues paid ; respect is proper!

[@miguelzamora2011]

I like how craze calls out the mainstream djs because they don't actually mix music like what DJs did back in the early 90's. Still there's a difference between them and Craze. People go to shows where the DJ actually makes the music to play for everyone whereas he just mixes other peoples songs and samples that it's just wasn't enough for a lot of people to justify blowing dj craze up to that level, but I digress. Craze is hands down the most talented I've seen in terms of mixing and performance. Non of that press play and jump around or flailing his arms around to turn some knobs. Mad respect for this man 👍🏾

[@s.w.sstudios5123]

im trying to work with some great background music but i just spent 10 mins watching your excellent table skills. Makes me miss mine.

[@Fetnodder]

Hands down one of the best sets out there it has everything who ever gave this a thumbs down can't hear

[@juanmm8766]

Great talent Dj Craze!🔊💥 De los mejores DJ's 📀

Thanks God! Ifeel blessed to found this, this set is absolute fire

[@alexgrimes5486]

Absolutely amazing!! Huge inspiration!

[@rseanjeron779]

Just tuned in to your videos, I have been looking for this type of music because I like to chill to my music and I hate to keep changing to different types of styles of music

[@aaronzurcher5238]

RIP PRODIGY. salutes to CRAZE, nuts as always.

[@jojokiwi1888]

Dj Craze is like the Masamune sword he's never lost his edge ever even after all these years.

[@curtischase9197]

[@tglad20]

After searching for something like this for over an hour I finally found a dope mix. This shit slaps!! Get it together KZbin if I wanted a radio mix I would listed to the damn radio.

[@kevenmike2453]

Now THIS IS A DJ MIX🔥🔥🔥🔥 quick songs, bangers,and good Transitions 💯

[@datboyfilmz1826]

I was reading some of the commenta abd 1 was about how good of a dj he is to do this without headphones thats so true i really enjoyed this mix i salute DJ Craze and im a DJ myself but he takes his skills to another level i learned a thing or 2 by watching him DJ.

[@L0K3E]

Craze IS Hip Hops DJ. The only one spinnin them tracks!

[@marknelson6348]

DjL0K3E let us not forget jazzy Jeff! Still killin it!

[@L0K3E]

No doubt! There would be no Craze without Jazzy Jeff!

[@yamyite]

He’s a total different level! 🤴🏻

[@traceless1]

Straight up LEGEND! Although he possesses the nastiest skills and can scratch circles around most, he always focuses on the mix. It’s got to sound good. All hail the greatness!

[@amandabrown454]

My god I am in love! He is my favorite of all time! Knew him from the rave days mixing with Mickey Finn and those were some of my favorites of all time. Glad to see he is still killing it with the new shit! Love you man!

[@MrHighfa]

God DJ. The type of video that give you straight the love of djing.Guarduian of the dj cultrure.

[@procastoner8]

good dj? You mean great. better than many of the DJMAG top 100 "DJS"

[@AlexHagos]

he meant god

[@DJAUDIO1]

Craze kills every genre he plays. He is masterful at his craft and takes a methodological approach to his DJing. I know many of you expect Drum and Bass or some electronic stuff but actually listen to the message conveyed throughout the mix, specially the first 5 minutes. even the Kendrick Lamar vocal skit. This is music for the mind. A spiritual turn up. Not a rave. DJ Mag gave him the opportunity to represent himself in his best fashion and he did that. Sorry y'all are disappointed. Open your ears and minds.

[@j.w.simsiii1366]

Facts!!!

[@josephdavis2695]

he's one of the best at crafting a set that takes you on a journey. Not to mention his creativity means the journey is always dope.

[@joeshell123]

"DJ Craze was born in Managua, Nicaragua. At the age of 3, in 1980, he fled the country with his family during the war which lasted throughout the 1980s. Craze and his family moved to San Francisco, California, where they lived for a short while, before moving to Miami, Florida, where he currently resides." - one love mate xxx

[@1tallguy694]

There's DJ Craze and then there's everybody else. He pioneered so much of whats common today and before the modern technology that makes it easier. First time I saw him was at a club called DV8 in Cincinnati probably 1998. I stood right in front of him watching, mesmerized. He was drinking Coronas spinning and scratching jungle at first, more Coronas seemed to bring in more hip-hop. So cool. He was incredible then and somehow has gotten even better.
