Props to the camera man, because of him focusing on Mell's hands, this might be one of the best videos ever for studying technique 👍🏽👍🏽

[@williambeaty_1977]

Mell Starr and jazzy Jeff are my 2 favorite dj's

[@jasonhardy4207]

Mell Star is the man, damn I'm researching all his mixes on KZbin. He's 🔥🔥🔥

[@jshannon777]

Remember back in the day you could put your cassette tape in and just let it play

[@DJExtrodinare]

he was in the zone. love the old school #salute to dj mell star set is hard cutting up and people still partying, can't do that today where I'm from sucks..

[@djkaneck1]

My homeboy DJ Ant Love (from the Mo’Nique Show) always told me to make sure I do a break beat set every show. Thanks Mell Star for proving what my teacher meant. Giving back....peace.

[@djairalert422]

This is my favorite Mell Starr video because of the crowd reaction, & the camera 🎥 on Mell’s fast hands. 🔥

[@walteralexander1794]

Playlists please

[@GregoryGioia]

A++ for precision. Assuming there isn't some kind of digital assistance, he drops the beat in on time, every time. The only points I'd dock are because he's using a laptop. I'd like to see the same routine using only the original records.

nice to listen too, but how can anyone get their dance on? too much scratchin imo for a club

[@bigboi71]

Shut up

[@Kmakmizzle]

If You Can Dance And Have Rhythm then The Cuttin' & Scratching Shouldn't Matter To Your Effeminate B*tch AzZ At ALL!, When You're Freakin' All up On a chick her AzZ'll feel your D**k & maybe even your B*lls!, But a Lame AzZ Iggin like You! Would Stop Ya F*ggot Typed Dancin' & Pause!, & Then I'll snatch The Hotty From YOU! & I'll Be Gettin' Them Drawers!, To The Cuttin' It Up Sound? It'll look like I'm Pop Locking and just Rhythmically Virtually Straight D**-kin' er Down!

[@GregoryGioia]

If you can dance, you can dance to it. As long he keeps the rhythm flowing, which he absolutely does, it's all good. I play similar sets and while some people will come up to stare at the turntables, most people are in non-stop dance mode.

Get the elbow like that ...

[@johntammaro]

im sure this is not as easy as this looks and i mean no disrespect to the dj here but i feel hugely underwhelmed when i see the laptop screen in the background with track loop points. just the art of swapping over a piece of vinyl and cueing up is a skill in itself.i have both digital and analogue decks. vinyl wins all day every day.

[@bigboi71]

John Tammaro Mel Starr been a beast way before Laptops tho. But get with the times already sheesh.

[@GeneralTarik]

I was afraid to click on this because some whack ass EDM goofballs started calling some whackness they were doing "breakbeat" like that didn't already exist. To the original poster, I hear what you are saying but why would I drag crates of my precious often irreplaceable vinyl to a venue when I don't have too.

[@protree_productions]

Yeah, but digital is a little more convenient because of how expensive vinyl is anymore

[@franklawrence1612]

[@joelidejesus1423]

Mell starr you mad nice but you performing for a party crowd as if your in a dmc competitions .what ever technical skills you wanna use to intro the song do that but let the song play an stop repeating back an forth party people dont care about that.I'm not bashing your skills you mad nice its just that thats the wrong place for what your displaying

[@joelidejesus1423]

Dee Jay Smoke i aint got nothing against mell starr he,s in my top three .dj spinbad from ny. Dj melo d. An last but not least dj mell starr .but man i dont know what video you watching when you say the crowd was lit because i only see three people moving .if you read my comments i said nothing bad about him i just gave him real advice. Spinbad is just as nice as mell starr and even he makes the same mistake of scratching and looping back and forth to much it kills the vibe.thats something you,d wanna see in a competition not when your on the dancefloor

[@SMASHSQUADDJS]

it was Grandmaster Caz bday...he was doing a break beat set

[@joelidejesus1423]

SMASHSQUADDJS now it.makes alot of sence to me as to why he was relooping so much times i see now that he was taking it back to the 80s grandmaster flash cool herk grand wizard theardoor

not to bash on Mel Starr but this set could of been better with less scratching...just saying.

[@knowledgeborn2586]

He’s a dope DJ but he’s doing too much best juggling and looping during his set. You have to limit that when doing a party. Sometimes people just want to hear the songs. Djing a party is totally different from a DJ competition set. Just sayin

[@msbelljones4677]

you wrong dj mell star doing his thing i would do the same thing every 1 can dj any style they like if only if it sound good beat juggling at a party is fun to do fuk playing the whole songs lol i like the mixing and scracthing lol
