Holy SHIT
I just watched wave twisters.
Its by Dj Q-Bert.
Its like... the yellow submarine of our time.
Fucking amazing. Almost every sound effect is him scratching on turntables.
Its so fucking trippy.
RECCOMENDEDEDEDED!

I've been meaning to get a copy for a while now. I like Q-bert, he is technically brilliant and yet comes across as very humble and kind in interviews. He has good taste in decks and mixers (Vestax all the way baby!) too :)

I know he's sponsered by vestax (as are the scratch perverts), but you have to question why he is sponsered by them rather than technics- technics would obviously sponsor him if he asked them to.
PDX2000s are so much better for turntablism than Technics. Whilst I personally prefer them for beat matching too, I can see the case for technics being better. The incredible tracking for scratching and reverse buttons make the PDX2000s top notch for serious turntabilists. I know Babu etc. use Technics, but IMO the perverts and invisibl scratch piklz are the best...
Razhel's DJ was damned good when I saw him a few weeks ago. He even did some body moves (scratching behind his back etc.), a dying art.

I've only heard very brief extracts of that particular release so I can't really comment...

"a dying art' - EXACTLY
no offense to vestax but they're making t-tables that do all the hard shit for you - like spinning backwards perfectly at 33.3 - i had to learn that by hand before those decks came out and its hard to perfect
they're killing the skill and desire it takes to be a real dj - any serious turntablist crew would use technics not vestaxs - vestax is japanese and so are the ISP's - so they get free trips to japan to visit vestax HQ's - as apposed to going to canada for technics HQ's - you decide
the art is dying but some are keeping it alive - and honestly i think the scratch perverts are pretty lame - i remember back in the mid 90's when they looked like a bunch of retarded fat guys behind decks w/ minimal skills
of course the ISP's could use trash cans for decks and spin circles around me - but come on
"and i you aint a beat junkie then you aint said shit" - pharcyde

i'll sure look for wave twisters...

"and if you aint a beat junkie..."
also - technics 1200's are for audiophiles - technics (whose parent company is panasonic) probably has no interest in changing the best turntable ever made
feel me?

Interesting points and a new angle I'd not considered...
Spinning backwards at 33 must be quite a skill. I might try to learn it just for the hell of it (and for when I have to use technics in clubs :P)
Re: ISPs using trash cans, did you see that video of Mike D using those Kam decks for a laugh? He was, like you say, still very, very good.
The only thing I have to disagree with you on is that 1200s are hi-fi. I know that's what they're made for, but any real audiophile (I'm talking people who use klipsch speakers, valve mono blocks, seperate power supplies, granite damping etc.) will use a top quality belt deck any day of the week.

ok so its "sorta" audiophile now - but when they came out they were the best
there are some decks - one my friend had - that cost like 2,000usd and was the craziest thing ive ever seen
isp's are the best - you should watch to videos where they teach you to scratch - good god they're funny

Yes, I can imagine in the 70s they were pretty damn good.
I've had a listen to some records I thought I knew like the back of my hand on an £8000 system. It just blew me away.
ISPs- Funny because they goof about or funny because they're not very good videos?

He he, I might have to check one of those out.
A great cock up I managed before I replaced my plastic EP adaptors with metal ones was during a frenzied scribble catching my little finger on it and sending it flying across the room (the adaptor).

yes wave twisters is a great movie..i ordered it when it 1st came out to get the autographed version by yoga and Q...they put so much time into sync?ing the animation with the scratches, and the extras with them scratching with multiple camera angles is fun to watch

mike on kams?!!? hahaha wish id seen that one. btw I know of your love with vestax, and i like them too, hell i own a 06, anyway, the sound quality from the 1200/10 series is better than the the straight arm pdx's. its all down to the S shaped tone arm having better sonic qualities than the straight ones, so vestax aren't the best for all apps.lots of high quality home hifis come with 1210s.

wave twisters = kick ass, saw a thing on Audiofile (now off the air, FUCING WANK WHORES AT TECH TV! BURN IN HELL!!!!!) about it, some guys made the DVD on some Macs and studio equipment in their basement for $20,000 :D
Ill try and find a link for it....
vestax vs. technics - i'd choose a pair of 1200s any day.
klipsch speakers = the shit, im packin KG4+ and they are fucking sweeeet sounding.
