Traktor and DJ Unkut - Go!

One in my top three pieces of software, Native Instrument's Traktor Pro (with guest appearances by NI's Maschine, Traktor Butter Rugs and a sleek -looking Vestax Digi-mixer) is showcased here with the slick cuts of (once again) DJ Unkut.  What a percussive routine...

DJ UNKUT - One Word: WOW

When the infamous DJ Craze says pay attention to a particular musical something/someone or other, it would behoove you to take heed.  I'm glad I know this - and, I did.  And I quote: 

And, here's what I learned...

He is, in fact, "ssiickkk!!"  It's nice to hear a Turntablist (aka Scratch DJ) with skills and musicality like this fella right here.  Please enjoy!

Power couple. Power moves. The marriage of NI and SSL.

I don't throw compliments around and take those I throw seriously.  Ready?  Here comes one now...

Faust & Shortee (Turntablism's power couple) show off (well) on my favorite controller (the Traktor X1) and rock-solid Serato Scratch Live (they play really well together, apparently).  Shortee is tight on this one.  Faust is, well, Faustastic.  What more can I say?  Oh yeah, this: peep the custom graphics on their set-up.  I like.

My New Favorite Toys. NI Traktor Scratch Pro and the X1 Controller.

Now, this may not be a new video, per se, but every time I watch it I realize just how stoked I am that I made te move from my (longtime pal) Rane TTM-57SL and Serato Scratch Live to Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro and the X1 controller.  It's reinvigorated my love of spinning - completely.

  

In this video a long time favorite (and 3X DMC World Champion) DJ Craze from Miami blazes through a set that wouldn't have been possible in this way just years ago.

  

Trust me when I tell you - I was front row to witness Craze's mad routines before DVS systems (see funniness below).

I had hair under that cap, btw...
