Big ups to all the scratch djs mos def. I support the addition of turntablism on any style of music as long as it sounds dope. It kinda erks me when people in any scene (hip hop/house/reggae/dnb/dubstep/grime/folk/country/etc.) promote an elitest point of view when the purpose of taking chances and trying different things in music is to move things forward.

Without breaking the rules we can never know the full potential of sound and what can be created with it.

ps...Im still dying to hear Q-Bert do a collabo with DMZ one of these days. That would be one spaced out tune!

personally i can't scratch worth a damn, but i do kinda try to recreate the feel of it sometimes- for instance in a track i did called Anunnaki Dub, i sorta worked the filter and edits like it was a mixer and kinda got an effect very similar to scratching imo

Hi...I'm an italian turntablist and hiphop/reggae/dub/dubstep selecta...

For me turntablism on dubstep is very good but not for a long time...I like make simple and echo scratch, with classic sound (super seal rulez!) and voice sound, you know...yeah...ooohh....makin'it...ecc...also woman voice for me is very good...usually I use transformer, 2click-orbit, 1 clickflare, echo, hydroplane, stab, tear or scribble with echo, ecc...dubstep is good for scratch for its bpm...a lots of dj love to scratch on doubletime

About beatjuggling...I don't know...It's not my preferite things, usually I made beatjuggling with rap or funk beat...but I'll try to made it also with dubstep vinyl...indeed sometime I saw on DMC some dj who use dubstep stuff...and the the routine it was one of the best I ever heard! believe me...

P.S. I'm new on this forum...and sorry for my english...

brought this one back up . . .

I did a 4 deck set with wrists of fury out of Oslo.
bigup Blam & Plato!

Mostly scratch business over dubstep mixing, but it would be nice to get some feedback from the scratchin massive !!!

while this is being resurrected, your comment reminded me of what Lone Wolf did on track 'The Plague' - when i first heard i thought the lead was scratched but turns out he'd done something similar to what you said and just got a very similar sound to something being cut by manipulating the filters etc...
btw your Planet Mu release is excellent - big up!

all about juggling something other then classic breaks, i reckon theyre a bit rinsed these days u know...

sure it is ...but also when you look at djfinal, all dubheads goes wild because "yeah hes doing dubstep" ...its about inovation true, but also about creativity and technical skill ...you can a classic crowd go wild with retard DnB juggling

for one of my routines ive used tigerstyle zero breaks wheres part for sampling, pedal and stuff ...and first piano juggle was born)

struggle wrote:ever really been one for showboating though. it's not necessary and it feels out of place. just my opinion.

absolutely agree.
but that has nothing to do with scratching or beat juggling. it has to do with the person doing it. scratching can and will work well in any form of music.
it can be done in so many different ways, with such subtlty that you wouldn´t know what is happening.

if you´re asking does aaaaaah have a place in dubstep, i´d say aaah doesn´t have a place outside of practice cuts.
