[@NOXX1985]

love that battling is still alive ... I just miss those mid to late 90s dmc classic battles, strictly 1200s and a battle mixer with no effects .. the dj is the effect himself 💯💯💯

[@wallacehardiniii9038]

OK so I've followed DMC for like 20 years. Craze's routines are by far the most technical and clean but this routine is definitely up there. I've finally embraced the use of Traktor, Serato, whatever other software. There is a whole other skill lever to program and trigger sounds using "buttons". I'm a producer as well and to be able to do this shit live is amazing. In the studio I can take my time, redo takes and everything else under the sun, but live? Damn. Props to Vekked.

[@AdamTrace]

Amazing company to be in, high praise indeed!

[@djmadwax]

Sure but this isn’t hip hop anymore though.

[@wallacehardiniii9038]

@@djmadwax Djing is the very essence of hip hop as well as battling.

[@hoodnut197]

Loved the Megadrive/Genesis part of the routine at 4:06.

[@loudawgs]

dj Vekked is at another level! Wow!

[@ZeekUC]

I've been way out of the loop and haven't watched a dmc set since atrak was 15 16. this was a good set but I miss the times where djs would have all their separate 12 inch vinyls instead of serato tracks already queued up.

[@jvarelamsc]

Vekked is one of the best DJs I've heard

[@gghbgtdg8047]

I like his rhythm I could easily dance to it.

[@brettffff344]

i grew up watching dj's like qbert,mix master mike,cash money,roc raider and have to say this is killa well done from australia Vekked

[@iknNR]

Enjoyed this set live in London. Well done, congratulations, Vekked!

[@vmbo]

I was about to hate on this man, but then I heard the Sega sample. Well played my friend. Dope.

[@thegreedychef8119]

how can you hate?

[@vmbo]

idk, his manners and facial expressions just annoy the shit out of me.

[@how2pick4name]

Same. The start wasn't very tight either...

[@richardsteyn2856]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MichaelLeeUSAFRetired]

As always, a flawless set! Your skillz are unquestionable...wax or not! Dude, where can I cop that shirt??? DJ DirtECash...

[@jeanmehdi33]

Just Amazing !!! Wich a could do this

[@bullenharben9905]

Haven't seen the DMC'S since 1988. Come a long way since Cutmaster swift. Was that Iron Mikes voice at the end? Sounded like it to me.

[@djimma5080]

1998 to 2004 was the best years

[@buttafinguz]

shit sound good to me. i was expecting some off beat corny set, (like a lot stuff i hear thesr days ( but naw, it was good. i only used vinyl, but digital vs vinyl is a stupid argument. you got skills or you dont.

[@KBird204]

+corrice thompson Amen

[@samfleur_]

Really Nice its also with vynnil

[@Coddywaffle]

so sick

[@insaiyan9316]

dude....not a DJ, but this is beautiful to watch. its like watching Dimebag play his guitar, its true art. its goddamned incredible

[@naantjez]

lets not get carried away there buddy

[@insaiyan9316]

naantjez haha ok maybe not quite like watching Dime, i was probably a little drunk when i wrote this, but uh....its still pretty cool isnt it? Haha

[@dbcooprrr]

+insaiyan93 I love finding comments that i wrote when i was drunk and wondering what i thinking when i wrote them lol.

[@naantjez]

same with comments u posted like years ago. Some forums im apart of i've been there for like 15 years..

[@user-xc1qy7ed8l]

not a dj....are you kidding ? dj = disc jockey ... he doing this in clip :| ... or you think a dj is that guy who PUT THE HANDS IN THE AIR and press buttons and twist knobs :| ... what mean a dj for you ?

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

What ever happened to using actual vinyl, the skill in quickly changing records, finding que marks, using actual samples found on records, not something produced yourself and treated to give it a scratchy sound. These days you might as well use an ableton controller and call it scratching.

[@MrSethticles]

+BLITZKRIEG i tend to agree

[@djflashb]

+BLITZKRIEG Ohh my god..You're one of those

[@Vekked]

+BLITZKRIEG now we focus on the music and composition rather than how to work around the limitations of regular vinyl :)

[@talltrini10]

+BLITZKRIEG I assume you still use reel to reel tapes when you listen to music? Since we keeping it real and everything

[@Vekked]

+talltrini10 *keeping it reel

[@kellylouisejones3671]

this guy is sick

[@Djkommode]

@Vekked how do you do that tone play on the mixer like that? i saw Mr. Switch do that on the pioneer dim s9. is it a MIDI remap? also congrats on the win and super sick set! Love the sega samples an MK killin it at the sometime bringing me back!

[@djflashb]

[@freddiedavis1649]

[@monstroPR1969]

I knew Jake was gonna win bro!!! Congrats Champ!!!

[@Riddlemind]

I thought the first part wasn't very good, but I loved the Sega parts. Although between the two Sega parts he was quite off key / tempo.

[@robmoney8173]

talent bruh... coo set...

[@mountain-roots]

Beast mood activated

[@MicahAP514]

A-Trak playing and winning at 15 years old will always be my fav but this is legit

[@neffectmusic8484]

Oh shit! The Situation from the Jersey Shore won DMC?

[@redallday8302]

DMC has ears again! The last 2 years champion sets, (no disrespect to Izoh or Switch) though technically impressive were hard to listen to. They weren't very musical. After Kentaro won, (One of the best sets ever. Rt up with there with Crayze's 3peats) the music started taking a back seat. Coincidentally it started around the same time "controllers" started to take over, which makes sense. New Tech = New era's. The DJ Mixing Championships looked like it would go the way of MTV. (where'd the music go?) But Vekked's set taking it brings back some hope. It all starts with the music! Vekked represented! I found myself bobbing my head, Haven't done that to a dmc set in awhile...

[@Vekked]

+Red Rivers Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that! I study a lot of traditional music and instrument theory and try to incorporate as much of that as I can. I think if you make sure things have good structure and are in key and such, it gives you room to be more technical without losing people. I see some routines where the techniques are sick but they have weird numbers of bars or the phrasing is too hectic so it's hard to follow... So I try my best to keep the technicality but package it in a way that makes it more accessible.

[@captinweestain526]

+Red Rivers I miss crate digging for samples...but nthats all gone now, and i'm too sturburn to move on Dj Spiktacluar 1999 usa best Routine ever!

[@Bradr813]

+Red Rivers I agree Rivers...that SEGA....fuckin made me dance brother!

[@jayk.2608]

+captin weestain I feel you, you took it back too lol. I have the 99 USA finals on VHS still and that was a sick ass set. P Trix seemed more technical to me but both were dope. Saw the 2000 ITF world's in person too with A Trak defending his title.

[@captinweestain526]

Jay K. Agreed must have been hard too judge, they were on it. Ptirix was sick, with up faders techinque. "Mystyle is the best" is the best though, and to go first, and set the standard.

[@JonathanHernandez-vx7ei]

Que chulo eres tío!!!

[@djbasqo9880]

That was decent bruh. good on you.

[@dennispacheco9879]

Sick

[@ryanwilliams2460]

Love the sega song

[@steveoneil7028]

Congrats on the championship. Big respect for the skills. I have to say though, I don't find the DMC championships as interesting to watch these days with all the tracks & samples all lined up on a laptop. I always found it a lot more entertaining when the sets included the quick record changes etc. Just my preference and I know it's not just Vekked. Standard these days. Just seems a little stale to me now it's all laptops and time code vinyl.

[@9191papa]

Around 4:20, is he using a cappella file on left turntable?

[@douglasnyakundi6922]

nice one

[@StingrayOfficial]

The people who thumb down are new to turntablism. It's okay kids, you will eventually understand it. Nice job Vek! Are you using the filter resonance to create that tone?

[@matthew-sz3yo]

The man who dissed the thumbs down button hitterz. Youre whats wrong with the world. Ive played around the world. Timing is everything. You could do a great set live but if one thing is out of time then you aint got nothing to be proud of and should practise more. And if you practise and are still wank. Give up

[@tombaleone9585]

Try to compete against 199* DMC champs !

[@eatshrots]

+Tomba Leone this is a big reason why i stopped trying to compete. i was all about the dj's from the 90s but i guess i was born too late and started in 2005/6 i was right at the time and it was just becoming all digital and I had no idea it would turn into this shit. i watched every dmc and everything after 2004 was just plain shit. at least i can scratch, but I'm not even interested in competing anymore. no one gives a shit as well. not popular anymore as it used to be in the 90s R.I.P. !

[@bacongrits4155]

Grant Tes i agree bro, the real vibe u get from hearing the static in the record as u scratch and juggle...

[@maihuonghoang4353]

electro house

[@GT5Player]

No need to since all turntablist of the 80's-90's like Craze, A-Trak, etc... went Digital. What are you gonna battle? Serato vs Serato? And to be quite honest, Vekked is as good with real wax as he is digital. Go watch some DMC supremacy championships (Vinyl only comp), which btw, Vekked won a few...

[@djimma5080]

@@GT5Player dude I use both and I find vinyl easier there is less to worry about with regards to the software, I don't get how people think it makes everything easy, OK needles don't jump but that is a god send as needles jumping is fuck all to do with skills

[@carldaykin7522]

LOL @ these mouth breathers that think DMC speed up their videos! No, this guy is really that good. Anyone hating should really step up and perform a 6 minute routine in front of a couple thousand people or just keep quiet.

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

+Carl Daykin yup and the set is exactly six minutes! how do you speed up six minutes when the end result is six minutes?

[@loelloma9936]

Alguien podria decirme el nombre de la pista de fondo en el min 4:05 porfavor. Y por cierto muy excelente SET (y)

[@GT5Player]

Loel Loma Es su propia produccion de Vekked. Lamentablemente hemos esperado tiempo para que saque esta cancion, pero nada... :/

[@Tochinoshin33]

What turntables do you use? Amazing skills

[@MarcoleonforteDJ1]

Bravo

[@aaronhays6860]

+Vekked what was the thing you did when you were sliding your fingers that changed the key or something? it was like on a pad in between the decks and it was super cool, and im an amature dj but still trying to learn...

[@arbitrarysuicide6164]

a slider XD it's volume control between the 2 records

[@Mfamus40]

SEGAAAAAAAAA!!!

[@bobdole8324]

Nice! When did they start allowing the cue points?

[@illfingers8985]

Great Routine !! Love your style ! But the song is not offbeat from the image.. ?
