DJ QBert - Swipes
2007-04-15 02:57:00 This is another fader-less scratch that, as Q describes, kind of mimics a one click flare. To be honest I haven’t tried this scratch much in the form Q-Bert demonstrates it here, but will be fine tuning it for the next time I am on an alien scratch planet that don’t have mixers… More About: Wipe

We live on a Hip Hop Planet?
2007-04-11 16:14:00 I found this article from National Geographic when browsing Remix Theory the other day (check it out some time). It makes for very interesting reading. The reason for posting this on a turntablism site may be obvious to some but not others so I thought I would justify it. Basically the backbone of Hip Hop is ...

DJ Perplex - 2006 DMC Routine
2007-03-10 08:59:00 Being an Australian based site, I thought it might be suitable to pay homage to one of Australia’s best in recent years - DJ Perplex. Coming out of the woodwork (or should I say steelwork?) a few years back, perplex made a name for himself down under relatively quickly and more recently won the 2006 ...

DJ QBert - Tip Scratch
2007-02-28 07:08:00 This is an excellent scratch to practice timing and speed without necessarily bringing the fader into the equation. Once mastered one can introduce the cross fader to bring the tips in and out at the desired times. Alternatively you can use the channel fader to gradually fade the tip scratch in and out (or out ...

DJ QBert - Marches
2007-02-09 12:23:00 This one is a little simpler than the flares I posted last week. Marc h es are a logical progression of baby scratches and is an excellent way to practice hand-fader timing. QBert explains it well and breaks the motions required for the scratch. Is a nice simple scratch to lead into a combo of scratches. More About: Marche

Scratch Combo Generator
2007-02-09 12:10:00 I used to have a program that you could create random scratch combos if you input all the scratches your are cabaple of. I can’t seem to find it now (I think it was from asisphonics along with ‘the ever’). In searching for it I have found an online combo generator that has an embedded ...

Fader maintenance
2007-02-09 11:45:00 Qbert demonstrates how to lube your cross fader. I have used WD-40 in the past, that might be bad - I dunno - it did the job on my Technics SH-EX 1200 and Rane TTM-56! It is definately worth doing to get that extra bit of speed and smoothness. For Rane TTM-56/57 users there is ... More About: Main , Maintenance , Fade , Tena , Fader
