(Recorded September 2002)
This is footage of Woody practicing his set for the 2002 World Vestax Championships in the Woodwurk studio.
The set starts with a drumming solo using a skip-proof drum beat loop and then goes into a demonstration of some of Woody's 'Woodpecker scratch' combo's.
Then there's a demo of Woody's 'Thumb-drums' idea, ie minipulating 2 turntables simultaneously with the same hand (one with the beat and one with the scratch sample).
The set then goes into his horn routine over Ugly Ducklings 'Just a little Samba' beat.
The end of the set is Woody's infamous 'Double tone arm technique', he places two tone arms on one turntable and rocks the first ever true single deck beat juggle with a bit of double needle dropping for good measure.
With this 5 minute routine Woody designed a set that from start to finish demonstrated more original techniques and styles than any other battle routine you'll see, and in a time when everyone thought it had all been done. This went on to win him World Vestax Extravaganza.

I routinely check this video to ensure it's still the best set out there. I put it in my favourites ages ago. I can confirm I still haven't found a better one. This is perfect

[@bubz3t136]

Agreed. Seriously, can anyone suggest a routine that's better than the Herb Alpert/Ugly Ducking routine? Even your Granny would love that. My second favourite routine of all time is the second one Q-Bert does in the sole battle between the Piklz and the X-Men, back in '96. You know, the one where he scratches the beat in on one deck, with one hand, and scratches the high hat in, on the other deck, with his other hand?

[@DJAUDIO1]

20 years later, Thia routine is still fire.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

THIS is how turntables should be used! True musician at work here

[@AndyKraftman]

Seriously can't get enough of that horn solo!

[@Brand_One]

This set brings me way back. I had this on Vestax battle DVD. I remember playing this in my show car at car shows all the time. One of the best I've heard. You have skills.

[@venosf]

Wow. Speechless...

[@djppl4760]

the best dj video i've ever seen.

[@tevita101]

Still to this day the best set even to now "standards"

[@djflashb]

[@claireelen930]

Oh ruddy my,,,,, been looking for this for ages! I worked for vestax that night and had the pleasure of looking after the artists. Oh what an experience lol In right at the end with the hand print top lol. Only a second but hey hahahaha

[@ellaskins]

sicker, than sick!!

[@DJAUDIO1]

One of the best battle routines and still sounds hot 10 years later.

[@JK47Tubing]

That was fuckin dope man. I'm over here speechless. Keep doing your shit for sure bro. We need people like you to keep turntablism alive. REAL TALK!

[@topitowey]

YOU ROCK

[@suprafunkin]

This video IS the best way to show to the world was Scratching IS! The Dj is awesome. An artist.

[@BreatheFromComa]

I like that he used two needles on the same record. Its a sweet effect. He pulled it off really well too. This guy's good.

[@qone1200]

woody funky as always!

[@elefader]

that drumming intro is the SICKness!!! breakin' all the rules in this one; i approve.

[@TheVladable]

1:52 song is Ugly Duckling - A Little Samba

[@jimmyrich1]

amazing

[@dadamj]

To the untrained eye this is special. To a fellow dj this is godly. Beyond technical.

[@sacredlaws]

Bravo..Bravo..Bravo.. I've been out of the game awhile and finally thinking about getting back into it. I couldn't decide if I wanted CD tables or Wax but after watching your set I reelise it's gotta be the old fashion 12OOO's I couldn't believe the creativity you displayed. I gave it a standing ovation. Much props from someone from the dirty south. Sincerly: MR 504

[@Brand_One]

This set brings me way back. One of the best I've heard. You have skills.

[@UltimaPowers]

brilliant, amazing innovation and what a fantastic ending! The man's a genius!

[@snifta]

BIG UP WOOODY!

[@KNaore]

That is sick

[@djhomiedaklown]

Awesome 🤩

[@OrganicJoe.]

Ridiculously awesome!

[@Steady99]

damn yo dope style

[@Usethebanana]

It IS DJ'ing... in it's highest form (in my opinion). And it's actually the combination of DJ/turntablist that I like. I can go wild over a decent beatjuggling or a few well placed scratches, but I get bored if it's just that all the time. It's the perfect addition to a DJ'set, a way to put down your own signature on the music. And that's what I like about Mixmaster Mike, DJ Jazzy Jeff, many others... and this guy :o)

[@thatrandomsomeone]

PURE AMAZING! 5/5

Wow, just WOW

[@bizzybee3021]

The money spent on needles alone. This was awesome.

[@badegg666]

[@Shinmeiryuu]

Commenting on an epic video. Ingenious.

[@xvmon1]

SICKKKK!!!!

[@blickblocks]

This guy is mad creative. I pretty much dislike battle wax but Woody shows that it can be used to birth new ideas, instead of being a crutch full of consecutive scratch samples.

[@oohgi]

big up dj woody

[@DJDouglasWarden]

Jam!

[@1985SJW]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick as!!!!!

[@djxrayray]

YO DIS IS SICKKKKKKK!! THE TRUMPETS!!!!!!!!!!

[@grimslider75]

wow, this would make grand wizard proud....

[@NORTHENTICRECORDS]

Yeah man true.... Woody would never bite! Hes a true hip hop head and knows the rules as we all do. It simply wouldnt happen.

[@jpsgalia]

Hey Woody, this is JP from Argentina, i met you at the Vestax World Finals in LA, 2001! Great set! See you

[@shatterglass]

I thought I heard a big thump toward the end that was way off the beat, but it was just my jaw hitting the floor.

[@Masteroftuba3]

that's friggin insane!

[@DJFLOFADER]

That was dope!!!

[@mazsolex]

[@mihondzhi1009]

[@mishajacobson1514]

Woody You Have Just Gav'n Me A Woody! Very Fresh! Repp'n My Mixer to!

[@fkthewhat]

....fucking awesome...

[@NORTHENTICRECORDS]

True say, yeah this is deffo a Woody technique and Richie would also tell you this. A huge part of Woodys reputation as you probably know is not just his skills but his ability to innovate. Lever scratch, Woodpecker scratch & 2 needles on 1 deck---absolutely all Woodys creations.

[@pizzamangargatuloth4804]

Manic.

[@DjENN0]

Thats fuckin inspirational..whenever my needle hits the platter i cringe..you make music with it,lovin it...now your giving me ideas :)

[@williamj056]

Holy fucking sickness my homie!

[@GioFromCo]

Never mind Woody wood is a brother man

[@ohotis]

Holy shit.

[@DJGIJOE]

THIS SHITS DOPE!!!!!!!!

[@ronnie22shade]

sweet~

[@iamcjb]

it's used un "just a little samba" by ugly duckling on their album "journey to anywhere" but I don't know the original artist.

[@bcgelandewagen]

true turntablist! damn that was good entertainment

[@DJFlowJay]

turntablism in perfection

[@JoeyMurph111]

wow, you would have to watch this about four times to keep up with what is going on.

[@SamRolfes]

GOOD LAWD!!!! I cant practice skratching for like 2 days after this, I sound so juvinile in comparison!

[@DJDarkuJ]

it's how the vestax turntables are made, I don't think you could do it with any other brand. I know for sure i can'te with my technics.

[@VerbatimCryptomnesia]

this video is insane. The fun thing about this video, is that you actually have to have some kind of knowledge about turntablism to understand how sick some of these teqcs are. Like the skip-proof scrathing with beat in the beginning with only one record, sounds easily like 2. awsome.

[@joonshik]

DAMN!!! Now I know why I decided to get PDX 2000's, haha

[@user-dp3zk4om8f]

Олд скул!

[@neomaster007]

Jeez

[@Timbertron]

They don't make em like they used to do they fetler? hahahahahahaha. Lovely stuff!

[@foquack]

just a little samba by ugly duckling... but this is a super hard to find instrumental that's been sped up..
