All the other DJs in the competition forgot the most important component. Musicality. They were so focused on scratching, being fancy, and playing with the music, they forgot to keep a steady flow going. I'm glad there are still DJs who care about the music as well as the manipulation. Keep on keepin' on Brace!

[@stefank.3656]

I'm 47 years old and that is hands down the best turntablism routine I have ever heard. Genuinely gobsmacked at the level of technical skill and creativity. Fuck, I need to lie down GOD DAMN

[@anthill-2sadler708]

Datz. Wats up . . real. Funny. Bro . .

[@cdnelson62978]

I've been rocking his set for like 6 years now. It never gets old!!! Where is this cat? 🤷‍♂️ You can't be this good and quit the game...

[@djpawaz]

I like the fact that this is funky. Most scratching be seeming like DJs who just want to scratch the fastest without paying zero attention to rhythm and honestly just making noise.

[@TyhlerNovac]

Yeah you right on that one 100PERCENT, fuck the repeated scratches that are outdated, you need harder beats and rap samples way more! I agree!!!

[@TheRealGiacomoKnox]

Whoa. I'm from the REAL old school, 1980s east coast. I've literally never seen anyone rock two decks like this. Makes me wonder who are the 400 losers who gave this video a thumbs down?

[@user-vm5pv6ex4r]

They were jealous other DJs obviously 👌

Hottest routine ive ever heard. Just came back after like 3 years... this is still the god damn gold standard for me. So fluid and musical the whole time. Killer shit.

[@liam6345]

I agree. DMC is bullshit now, all just young people scratching the records like they've got fleas. Sounds like the black-box recording of a plane crash. This; however, is actually ear-friendly and head-bop-able.

[@MrFlibbleable]

Can’t think of a better routine I’ve ever heard either for exactly the reason you put

When you're a DJ yourself but you can't quite keep up with how Brace is doing this all in a musical package... THAT'S why I keep comin back to watch this!!! Genius.

[@djpepper8814]

I don't think most people understand how amazing what he's doing at 2:14 is... it's not like his drummer just started playing double time.

[@zerolimitii]

that seagull at 6:01 was perfect timing

[@Josh-kun]

YEEEEES

[@alexmednick431]

this really set the gold standard for DMC routines and turntablism as a whole. still untouched. nobody has even come close to a set this tight, let alone this creative.

[@bobdobalena1760]

This reminds me of old DMC

[@Sas3603]

This is how its done! He is using vinyl. Not just pushing buttons. This is how its done people! A+ in my book. Damn, that was nasty!

[@1974beats]

No.....not using vinyl.....control vinyl ....bit different......still genius...

[@nickolasmccombe1]

Yeah he is still using tech. But it was still awesome

[@ickbooo1]

Damn listening to Ancient Astronauts-still a soldier, and was like man where is this fire sample from I know I’ve heard it somewhere then it hit me all at once… Came back to watch the set again after all these years and it still makes my eyes water. Such a perfectly executed routine.

[@mbnqpl]

2024 and I'm still back here!

[@dungeonseeker3087]

This is genuinely the best routine I've ever personally watched. Absolute perfection, technique was amazing, everything lined up perfectly, not a single slipped beat, beat juggling was perfect and sounded natural, scratching with the guitar was eargasm. Most importantly though, it sounded like music and not just like a load of random noises like when the pro DMC DJs do it. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna watch it again.

[@20thcenturyfoxy55]

DJ Woody does amazing things too!

[@johnfry8286]

@@20thcenturyfoxy55 rafik, lig one and C2c also drop these more fluid , musical kinda routines. For a few years everyone just thought u needed a Le Jad beat 😂

[@wolfsingleton]

My neighbor showed this to his DJ friend (always bragging like he's the king) and the dude looked like his puppy had died. When asked if he could do that, the guy said it had to be fake and then walked off all sad and shit. We laughed so hard it hurt. Had to throw a thumbs up and a subscribe after that - sickest skills I have ever seen!

[@CosmicTrekker]

Growing up listening to DJ's from the 80s and 90s, this is wicked. This is how it should be done. I've watched so many other "winning" routines that just sound like somebody decided to lay on top of their turntables and have a seizure before I found this that, from beginning to end, has you nodding your head like "damn!"

[@steveharris7938]

I still keep coming back to this, I never get bored of it!!!

I always come back to this video. It's very enjoyable to watch!

[@ssherriden1973]

At 44yrs old I've seen a lot of DJ mixes from early 90's until now - This is 'THE' best DJ mix I've ever. If it's not then send me the link to what better because I've never seen it. This set as hit all - The music flows, skills are unreal, beat juggling that actually sounds good and as for the mixer/slider thing on the WTF is that? The perfect set. #No1....FACT!!

[@electrojoe42]
