Can This Change Everything for DJs
kir_mokumthis is pretty much bang on. there are several versions of a "special turntable" which are just controllers. you can use all in one controller set ups, CDJs/XDJs in HID mode, or rane's 12 turntable, which is just a stand alone controller for DVS. all in one controllers are geared more toward bedroom and wedding DJs, the rane 12 is pretty boutique and for turntablist/party rock DJs, and CDJs/XDJs are what everyone else uses and are industry standard and in every club/rave/festival/tech rider. there is also a growing move back to vinyl in certain scenes, especially techno and jungle/choppage/breakbeat hardcore scenes.
I'm pretty sure the vinyl itself has nothing on it. It's all digitized and stored in a module. The "Phase" device is just a very accurate, low-latency angular-position transducer for controlling the module.
So... why not just read the position directly from a special turntable (like the other digital sets they sell)? I dunno, I guess these let you use your favorite Technics turntables from 1989 that have just the right feel or whatever.
I don't know this, I'm just basing it on the evidence that there is clearly no stylus dragging across the record, so the sound can't be coming from there.
Ed: Oh, and I guess it's wireless. Maybe that's a big deal.
Herbie Hancock + Grandmaster DXT - Rock It
volumptuousGrandmaster DXT is the one who started it all.
Ask any of the greatest turntablists and they all say the same thing; When they saw DXT perform this night, they knew he was creating something huge.
Anyone into beatjuggling and the history of scratching, find the film "Scratch".
DJ Bad Boy Bill - Disco Mix Club (DMC) DJ Battle (1989)
djsunkidThat's hilarious! I didn't know that BBB had been a DMC contestant. I just always thought of him as a popular tech-house DJ.
The "tricks" in this are hilarious. I'm so glad that the turntablist scene has moved away from that sort of thing. My favourite trick I ever heard of was DJ swamp cutting himself with a broken record at the DMC final. I wonder if there is a video of that on youtube...?

DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist: Product Placement-live & doc, 72:36
benjeeI was pleased to find this on DVD over a year ago, even more so when I also found this on Google Video last night: an incredible live turntablism showcase by 2 of the best ever DJ/Producers. I especially like the use of classic tracks and breaks (also two of the best vinyl hunters around, as the documentary part and my playlist [DecksTerity] shows). I think the vintage advert voice-overs etc (where the Product Placement title comes from) and the Milk? section (two thirds in) are hilarious!
Awesome live turntablism - Birdy Nam Nam
benjeeI disagree BallPointPress - if you've ever used decks, you'd understand how impressive turntablist's are (standard DJs, who mix two tracks; are not impressive at all).
Glad my vote promoted this to the front - well done & welcome Dr_Q!
