DJ Dexta - 1998 DMC World Finals

[@julianoner]

This really encapsulates the time and era of turntablism... 1998.... the clothes, the style and everything.... Simply dope. Late 90's.....

[@djairalert422]

One of my all time fav sets, Dexta super creative!

[@MichaelShum]

he killed it

[@jpsgalia]

Rage Against the Machine´s guitar routine is dope !!!

[@Able2Music]

Amazing hey!

[@longshotbeats327]

Damn. This is was when EVERYONE was crab skratchin. This is dope thanks for posting this

[@MsFuqyu]

crab is life

[@Diaz23]

Dexta always goes off. Cuttin with the mixer upside down and didn't miss a beat fuckin sick.

[@deejaybless2298]

Crowd was sleep that Jay Z juggle was flames..

[@Juanjuke6342]

I am quite sure that there is a missing part on that video cause I have the VHS and I remember he add on his dj mix the track from his band "The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist"...

[@MichaelShum]

that may have been a different year? dexta was in the final in 98, 99 and 2000

[@Juanjuke6342]

@@MichaelShum you right, it was in 1999 :)

[@Juanjuke6342]

If you watch the whole contest, a lot of dj's could have won that awesome year : DJ Craze : unbeatable, DJ Crazy B : original turntables disposition and very very close but always second... dj Akakabe : amazing technic and fast moves, dj Dexta from The Avalanches group : amazing choice of music and technic, DJ A Trak : young and true djing talent, DJ Static and DJ Jay K : the most groovy and funky, old School routine ! DJ Mouss : scratch power and great arabic melody, Prime cuts : good technic and nice sound choice, DJ Kollasso : awesome scratching technic and nice music groove, Dj Coki : friendly and funny. Too hard for the juges :) small exception : DJ Lil'Jaz : boring and disappointing...

[@MichaelShum]

Julien K also mouss, prime cuts, lil jaz - sick battle

[@Juanjuke6342]

@@MichaelShum Lil Jaz ? quite boring for me... but amazing dj battle for the TOP 5 indeed !

[@PickpocketJones]

@@Juanjuke6342 Whats lame is that lil'jaz had some really bad ass juggle routines around that time that I saw on various scratch forums then his DMC set was pretty boring. He was quite talented.

[@thehunterofdeath2180]

He kill it like he style nasty dude at the end that was cool

[@DJTomOke]

this set is so good. The Rage thing at the end is obviously an illusion but it works so well

[@MrDameza]

What do you mean an illusion?

[@donkeyDangerMouse]

​@@MrDamezaprobably to do with our ears hearing tones that they expect, rather than what is played. However, that wasn't a fair comment you responded to because you still need to get the tones within an error range for our ears to compensate. In other words the comment you responded to was just an illusion of sincere critique and the rage against the machine part was amazing

[@lol69_52]

I love that classic music routine he does, super dope, I think it was better in itf 97 though.

[@brocksamson9737]

Yo homie thank you for finally uploading this! Got a love that funky nutcracker blend!
