i would argue that this isn’t turntablism. i define turntablism as using two records and two turntables and a mixer to create a completely new song independent of the original source material…and doing it live with little or no effects or external devices. using kicks and snares and playing them out with the record instead of tapping them out on a controller is a better example.
remixing is more likely a better description. when the Scratch Live software added Midi support the loop points and hidden eggs essentially turn the software into a loop device and stripped down sampler….it’s probably better to use one of the akai pad controllers.

Greg: it’s not.

That’s why having Mixxx MIDI scripting is cool – it works with anything.

So, somebody tell me how this is any different than any other USB/MIDI interface?

…
If you are Free Creative and Human using “anything” for perform you are a Anythablist.

If you use players only for mix, you are boring but you still are respectable, of course.

What’s the problem about freedom to choice?
Dogmatic Thought which pointing us towards void.

Void of PA, void of money, void of happiness, void of sense…

stop hate, start love (trought music playing in your “fucking” way ;)

…

PD: When I say “fucking way” I’m not talking about tantra sex.
:P

Flick – I agree with the part about him just trying to hide his laptop. If he was using something other then time coded vinyl and instead he was live looping/cue points on the fly, that’d be much more impressive (a la DJ Krush).

What i think is interesting is that at 2:25 (and other parts as well) he is seen twisting his body to look at something off to the left (his right). What is he lookin at? a lap top. what does he say in the next 5 secs. “Anything to keep me away from the computer im wit it.” more like, anything to hide the computer im wit it.

I love my SL1200 too corticyte, but I only have one and it never leaves it’s spot because it’s like 3 million pounds. When I was in a “real” band we used to say that we were playing for fun, and gettig payed to lug gear around. Of course DJing at a club it’s not as much a problem, nut it’s still an issue otherwise.

Thanks peter, I was partial to it too, even if it is wrong. : )

From now on PA = Peterkirnmeanswellbut Alwayssomehowcutsreadersnerves?
