DJ Qbert and Ean Golden session

Ean Golden invites Q to DJ Techtools for an impromptu jam session. Hope this inspires all the turntablists and controllerists out there to make some music! Thanks to Thud Rumble and DJ Techtools for making this happen.

[@jidiamond]

The best scratch Dj in the world with the best button pusher in the world! Truly an amalgamation of old school analogue and cutting edge tech

[@BenThatOneGuy]

two people just having fun, and making good sounds. its just damn chill.

[@McGeezy181]

i love it how Ean Golds throws his hands in the air so dramatically after pushing the buttons. respect to both

[@bassjunky4u1]

This is dope.

[@kingtin74]

2 of the best .....ever .....nuff said

[@masterninja9716]

Love Ean's little Midi Fighters too. First midis out with slick, easily pressed buttons unlike a drum pad like an Akai where you can't just tap the button

[@Athinira]

The point isn't how hard it is to pull off a performance. The point is how good it sounds. That's what people care about. DJ'ing is not a "Who can do it the most difficult way" competition.

[@wiechersjm9]

It looks like ean is getting a tiny shock every time he hits a button and moves his hand away.

[@Scratchdelacream]

That my friend, is not only "good stuff", u wont see that from another duo like this. This is a living legend in action. Qbert is not copyable. Big ups

[@DRUMnBLESSed]

Both highly talented and gifted. God bless and Big Aloha in Jesus name :)

[@numba1stuna]

this is sick!! two legends each on their instrument of choice and having fun while killing what could be better!

[@Evicaro]

You can play with the tool you want... the important thing is the result!

[@xSonsofNerox]

dope!

[@noseyparker6969]

[@MrDjaremko1982]

[@djjoeydpr]

[@indiGlo_myco]

This shit is SICK! Ean Golden, you rock bro.

[@djgforce]

That was truly awesome.

[@jimenecoinc]

never heard your name before buddy, but these two dudes i have been gaining respect and Huge Corporations are backing them up and sponsoring them, how many you got buddy,,, or are you a loyalist to the underground... god bless you what ever your name is...

[@djdaisentertainment]

I want to see a 4by4 with Babu the Turntablist and Ean Golden the Controllerist.

[@DJscubaD]

the controllerist and the turntablist in complete harmony. Ultimate manipulation! I think i jizzed a little.

[@FRB1420]

This makes me want a Midi Fighter.

[@masterninja9716]

The best at what they do. Love Ean, DJ Qbert, AarabMuzik. Michael Jordans of their craft.

[@hemmadingsen]

awsome work!

[@dionysis1200]

Is it just me or when the vanilla ice section hits does it look like qbert rolls his eyes like he's thinking, "I can't believe I'm scratching to this whack shit."

[@LJAlaska]

illest outhere! very original, and a cool guy!

[@mixxxzdance3021]

the real dj salute man....

[@mrfatjoe208]

Damn they are so awesome!!!

[@Biernylcore]

This looks like a perfect room

[@feedyourspeakers]

flipping excellent.

[@123apelsinjus]

amazing!

[@trinthakias]

amazing!!

[@KurtBeatzManiac]

2 legends on fire.

[@LJAlaska]

illest in the bizz! awesome! Ean has the twitch for sure! Parody vid is a must on this!

[@jazzisda1]

i joined with arrrr and frrreshhh while playing the vid, so nice to mess about with!#

[@Darwinist]

@jeremyelrick If you use that definition, then a MIDI piano hooked up to a hardware sampler with a large multisample map of a piano is not an instrument either. All it does is what Traktor does basically - accept midi messages and play snippets of audio on command from a controller, any controller.

[@gesc1200]

loved it!

[@CJ00014]

new song to my MP3

[@deckZmator]

Q has the edge. he relies only on raw technology turntables (which is far earlier than modern push button midi controllers). and his unbelievable skills. it's harder to manipulate vinyl than digital stuffs

[@DJParanoid]

Qbert is good. But the video effects are giving me headache.

[@gk111127]

BRILLANT........................

[@chrclmnky]

The song goes: I'm having trouble trying to sleep (scratch scratchy scratch...) I'm counting sheep but running out (scratch scratchy scratch...) LOL

[@akujarvinen]

Nice combination, and i guess it was nice session. Q-bert,timecode vinyls? what they are...good scracthing,as always. Ean Golden,nice beats.The "Pack-Man" buttons.OK.Work.´s. Thank you both.

[@siinewave]

Sick scratches.

[@Equon1]

qBERT KILLED IT!

[@eponymous_graphics]

A difficulty that borders on the impossible. DJ Qbert the "Jimi Hendrix" of scratching stands alone even when compared to his counterpart MixMasterMike. Where MMM dominates in beat juggling GrandMasterQ-Bert is one of a kind; catering specifically to one deck scratching R. Quitevis represents a lost era where DJs dictated the flow of a party. Now with ipods and playlists DJs are many but great ones are few and far between. Without vocals, without lyrics scratching still speaks & it's fun2listen.

[@SoundDrGenie]

This fucking dope guys. Keep up the good work.

[@kingtin74]

8 people love will young!!!

[@Darwinist]

@jeremyelrick Because from where's I´m sitting, it's fairly obvious why he's doing it - he's using the MIDI Fighter to trigger cue points, and then cutting out of the channel using the crossfader when he doesn't want the track to play anymore, just like a turntablist does to create the rhythm of the scratch. Controllerism is it's own thing, with it's own ways of doing things and methods of improvisation, and unless you´ve looked into how it's actually done, I´d refrain from criticism.

[@OUWATZAHLE08]

that guy you talking about in the right is midi master himself eangolden you should watch his videos hes epic

[@agent8082]

Take a walk on the wild side!

[@zyorgog]

Q-Bert's smile at 3:15 ; He knows what's coming.

[@Robbeltje]

Wowsa Vanilla Ice could be famous again! Damn love that mix

[@CountD42]

@Dj3xC That's actually the DJ Tech Tools lab, Ean Golden's studio.

[@redjohn2008]

Qbert and Jesus! I SEE JESUS!

[@jenningschris]

@thirdflooruk It's a custom Midi Fighter available in the djtechtools online store

[@HighGradeMed420]

ice ice baby...mix is fuckin dopeeeee~!!!!!!

[@TheVillainToRecon]

Did anyone else notice how many cords Ean's got as opposed to Qbert?? haha

[@rafhardy6923]

on fire

[@makeitdrzzle]

@Thedan961 yea it is, but they used the Lou Reed- Walk on the wild side beat

[@JulianGrayMedia]

the little presses are all that matters. the cuts are just adding to the choppy sound. he did that whole session (besides the backbeats) live.

[@sonnysavage1]

It's like when you let the simple kid join in, you can press a couple of buttons and pretend your doing something.

[@Dj3xC]

q berts got a good arsenal of dj equipment

[@scottwatzz]

NiCE!

[@instantnoodle80]

@jeremyelrick in fact.... I struggle to feel that you can spontaneously alternate rythm.... im gonna try this:)

[@MrSethticles]

looks cool man!!! lol

[@shaggyng]

@Thedan961 any where did ATCQ sample it from???? lou reed - walk on the wild side

[@1Harisson1]

Goooooood,

[@slowgaffle]

sweet

[@omangas297]

8:00 holy shit ean golden cutting it up with a crossfader... and midi fighter LOL good stuff

[@instantnoodle80]

@B6Quattro I do get your point quattro and I agree that midi controllers have a huge amount of potential. I started djing on vinyl but ended up using controllers (maybe take a look at some of my vids)... I'm not against new technology and techniques I just think it's how they are used. Ean defines controllerism as "using controllers to emulate turntable techniques" which I think is hugely limiting on what they can do and after all..why not learn to scratch it sounds better and looks cooler:)

[@bedevere007]

nice

[@ThePhotogalleria]

Exactly! No software will help you if you don't have a clue. Hard work pays off. Shit in, shit out.

[@TURK_182]

What kind of sampler is Ean using?

[@jackieD69]

Q-Bert for president !!

[@youngblackethiopian]

I think its a special edition colored vinyl of Scratchy Seal.

[@jjmah7]

Qbert is a fucking god.

[@VHShit]

That is Brain Stew from Insomniac

[@DjUn1versal]

i almost was pissed at this comment...then i liked it

[@kustomking101]

Ean looks like he has turrets sometimes, not talking shit he's great but damn dude!!

[@kevinzeng9606]

Big respect to both artists but Q wins hands down as a DJ on technical skills

[@djbodyrawk]

FRESH

[@TekLex]

nice nice baby =)

[@maistvanjr1]

hilarious and vivid comment

[@Pandabearmadness]

wow fucking awesome

[@xseantheprawnx]

lol look at him though, he's just so into it, he's in the fucking zone making music and loving life in the moment :) annoys me and makes me happy at the same time

[@zagorowsky]

@chris24g thank's man ! PEACE

[@youngblackethiopian]

He does cut the beat out a bit, but there are definitely a few times like 3:53 and 7:29 where he is just twitching his hands around the fader. It's really weird.

[@Zbiech]

Fuckin amazing experiment :)

[@bert0069]

This is a great example of how the two technologies as well as the two are forms can work great TOGETHER>>>

[@DJREDvalery]

шат лава!!!

[@boskob4008]

00:56 Chords from Walk on a wild side, if I am not wrong.

[@alvarezgamers]

And don't forget, in order to apply all these simple steps..... You have to have advanced hand dexterity.....

[@herman8rrr]

@lolfag3 lol but was nice of him to provide a beat for bert to scratch over

[@Equon1]

i think that when golden played ice ice baby q bert was like, bitch please!!!

[@jackieD69]

and having to bear with a**holes in the crowd while attempting the steps you mentioned,brah..thats seriously a big pain esp when youre new to the scene..

[@ruffhouse9760]

whats the name of the beat that comes in at bout 6 08??

[@jimenecoinc]

so where do i send the 0.99 cents for this jam?

[@Linus100]

@ralutjohn really? I liked the whole thing
