This might be my fav comment ive seen on youtube for a good while.

Your comment is disarmingly honest :))

[@liambruce8049]

i felt this

[@HoundstoothLBL]

Big up RA --- this was a very special day - filming this at home, in room 2 of fabric - feeling very blessed. Djrum's first original music in over 6 years is out now - and it really was worth the wait! ... BIGGLES to Djrum, to RA, to the fabric family and to all the supporters out there :) ..... this is simply the beginning.....

[@b1nary_f1nary]

Didn't even realize he had new stuff out :O what a treat

[@zerveaux]

watching him play his 3 decks thing for 4 hours is still the best experience i ever had with electronic music. absolute legend

[@cubbyhoo]

Watched him doing his stuff at We Out Here from the side of the stage and was totally blown away. I knew he was good but DAYMN the guy is just absolutely cracked at DJing.

[@aargourdin]

damn, the ambient-tempo-transition is genius. GENIUS.

[@Wirba1337]

I thought you were being sarcastic because 'ambient-tempo-transition' sounds very straightforward. Then I watched the video...

[@b1nary_f1nary]

@@Wirba1337 The basic concept is very straightforward for people to do there own version of it. Djrum just does it his way lol which is like magic

[@_Fractaal]

The best 22 mins I’ve spent on here for a while. Makes it look like it’s nothing. Inspiring and makes me want to jump on the 1210s and half attempt some of this stuff.

[@nostandingonlydancin]

For the past decade I have forgotten that I love DJing. Thank you for reminding me. ❤

[@pdlkmusic]

I've thought about the whole "using an ambient track as a bridge" thing before but like.....this is another level. It's really a whole performance in one little moment. Great stuff.

[@guzombomutombo]

Yeah, I thought "BIG DEAL, GENIUS"... but then I watched the whole video. Holy shit!!!

[@agsjdhdhwu]

I haven't seen my dad in 15 years , grew up watching him DJ on vinyl . This video is amazing

[@dengueberries]

Is djrum your dad?

[@agsjdhdhwu]

@dengueberries no lol 😂 that would funny , calling out your father on a yt video 🤣

[@HoundstoothLBL]

@@agsjdhdhwu LOL

[@Mcsens7]

I saw him twice, both times at Waking Life. Seven years passed between my first listen to Djrum's music and experiencing his craft during a DJ set. I couldn’t have been more curious and excited the first time in 2022. Musically and sonically: a journey. Visually, too: a proper dance of that visible upper body-so focused, yet so relaxed, without batting an eye-while redefining your dancefloor experience. How could Djrum's set at Waking Life 2024 be even more special? It was, once again, truly unique because the man passionately draws you into the most tender parts of his collection, as well as the most feral. From no beats to 90, to 180, to 1000 bpm-mixed with brutal poetry. What a dancefloor journey, at times going beyond music itself. Merci, Felix!

[@staticwavelength]

Saw him for the first time Berlin last year, magic…

[@ojoaoflores]

Was there this year, best set of the festival for sure.

[@Exav0lt]

Every time i watch a video from Djrum, i always find music that is EXACTLY what i want to spin and create. Such amazing taste.

The thing is, the concepts may be simple, but his execution, which is the hard part, is just so on point!

[@rickdeckard0121]

Truly a master of the craft. I’ve listened to probably every released track, remix, recorded DJ set, stood beside him during a DJ set many years ago, and I’m still in awe and still can’t fathom how he does what he does.

[@abumc5104]

nothing is as beautiful as music from vinyl records \••/ . even the music's not mine, this dj's performance is real artwork. respect.

[@djctoafn]

I've been DJing DnB for 20+ years and only discovering this man now 😢 Very sweet skills on show

[@agenticdevices]

Discovered him at Making Time in Philly a few months ago. His set really blew me away, probably up there as the best of the night. Real skills here

[@ryankertzner4343]

100% agreed, that shit was awesome. Threw me straight into a jungle phase

[@lindsaymaria2876]

Yeah. That Making Time set was the highlight of MT for me.

[@gusbowder-newton3177]

Knew about him but that was my first time seeing him - jaw completely on the ground, that was a journey set of journey sets

[@blocckzz2117]

big big inspiration!! had the pleasure to setup his decks and soundcheck with this guy, left me speechless

[@panoply1886]

You think you're pretty decent on 1210s and then you watch something like this. Levels.

I'm playing vinyl since 2004 and I look like an idiot compared to him

[@jasonlehr4203]

I think this cat is my favourite person! A rare rare breed. I wish I could just chill out with ya. I look forward to anything this guy does. Pure gold!

[@georgea.henryjr.5191]

I LOVE BROTHER D'JRUMS STYLE OF MANIPULATING VINYLS ON HIS TURNTABLES INTO HIS OWN SOUND CREATIONS! THAT'S PURE ART AND SKILLS! THAT I NEVER EVER THOUGHT OF DOING ON MY TURNTABLES FOR 3 DECADES!

[@uniqueflowsnake]

Been loving this guy's stuff since 2013. Legit.

[@TheSlowMusicMovement]

Mad skills - total respect. He's obviously put the hours in to get where he is today. There's a long list of hype DJs I'd love to see try some three deck vinyl mixing!

[@zackdell7663]

This is some James Zabiela wizardry. I love how he describes DJing as improvisational. The true art of DJing is finding the perfect groove. DJRUM makes this look easy, he just happens to be a master of the art.

[@Pazaluz]

I discovered a track by him on Spotify (Djrum - Tension) a few years ago and was completely blown away by the creativity in his productions! It's clear that this creativity also shines through in his DJing.

[@cmjones83]

Saw him close up in Belfast a couple of years ago, an absolute trip. So cool to see him break it down like this.

[@sadgaytechno]

i had no idea he was doing 3 deck vinyl when i saw him play i just thought he had absurdly wild tunes

[@TheMancunianCandidate]

I had no idea Djrum was this inspirational as a DJ, thought it was just his productions that were unreal. Fair do's man

[@GinaGibbons]

Incredible. So tactile and unafraid -- very inspiring to watch and listen. Not to mention the 3 finger crab move!! Thank you!

[@we.met.on.the.dancefloor]

you wonder if u actually can dj after watching this

[@augustiina]

the way he's using the trim in conjunction w the volume faders!!!!!

[@LASHH9669]

Largely a reality of vinyl, things are pressed to very different volume levels especially when you're mixing up genres and eras

[@augustiina]

​@@LASHH9669 i know what you mean ~ i play vinyl too. i'm talking about like 2:29 or 12:20 where he is riding the trim to bring the track in / out. much more creative and dynamic use than basic gain staging and levels!

[@spam_sampler]

Yesss that was what i was talking about 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravo !!! You can do any transition on ambient … new trend on underground techno and stuff very cool

i just saw him play at garage noord b2b upsammy for 3.5 hours, where upsammy was handling 3 cdjs while he was running the 3 technics... it was just a marvel of engineering / layering. i have never seen anything like this set, and will not see it anytime soon. absolutely godlike.

[@peterbsims]

Improv. Learned so much.

[@adrianconsta1139]

I think I can tell without any exaggeration that Djrum is the most skilled DJ within the (Electronic) DJ circuit. I haven't seen anyone being this crazy good skilled, where his technics and dexterity come close to DMC participants. And to make it even more special, the beats he's playing are complex and never similar (I think I would have give him a little less credit if all of his music would have been 4/4 only). Like all this wouldn't be enough, he is also playing the piano and the flute. I don't understand... how can someone be so talented and skilled??

[@ianquintas1157]

A lot of work brotha, i can’t even imagine how much time he spended spinnin and mixing through his life, true work of love

[@beatvillainz]

Mixmaster Morris ; you’re welcome.

[@henkaiiii]

fucking insanee dj, he makes such beautiful music too.. his song 'induction' will forever be a favorite I think me discovering his music led to also finding the artist Tkivilsaari its artists like this that truly inspire us through creativity and music... the type to listen to their sets and fucking transcend

[@sneakBeats1]

Amazing thanks, tips from a master!

[@narjesaljunibi3033]

Can’t believe this is free video thank u so fkn much

[@cmjones83]

The second example would be hard enough to pull off with everything synced, but to do it on three turntables, keeping them all in time, is almost superhuman.

[@_Fractaal]

True, he makes it look super easy as well. If I attempted this I’ll clang so much. Pretty decent on 2 decks but I think a 3rd would be too much 😅 also love the MBV pic for you channel 👍

[@cmjones83]

@_Fractaal Thanks!
