Everyone has favourite DJs, and one of mine is Canada’s Skratch Bastid. He momentarily stops being my favourite when he announces some gig in Halifax, only for me to be disappointed that it’s the Halifax in Canada rather than Halifax just down the road from my house here in England. But pushing that aside, his “Get Up” mixtape gets played round these parts at least once a week, so I love that he’s doing things with Serato and Rane. Check out this short remix routine of NWXRK by Nadus using the new Rane TTM57 MKII mixer.
Need to know more about the new Rane mixer but can’t wait for the review? There’s nothing better than Ray’s NAMM piece. I’m working out where the review unit should go, and I’m thinking that having an open house group review in The Worxlab might be a good idea. Getting it into the hands of a lot of scratch DJs would make for a cool piece.
Incredible turntablism skills. So is SDJ where you go for turntablism and TSP is for turntablism… and live remixing? Hmmm.
Here we go again…;)
A fuckin’ men.
Extremely average skills over crap generic dance music. you can put any sound/sample/recording you want into Serato yet everyone still uses the same old sounds
I call it Barbie music, and on top of that the Joeski Love samples is a freaking joke.
Bring back da funk ye Bastard ye!
this videp is good to show the skills of the dj (hands down – skratch bastid is crazy!), but serving as a product video? fail
pretty sure the mixer is fly but this video doesn’t demonstrate the possibilities which is also a failure of those who edited the video. jump to 2:39: skratch bastid is using the transform joysticks on the mixer. would you be able to see it? no because the editor decided to switch to an angle where you can’t see what skratch bastid is exactly doing on the mixer.
in a nutshell: good video to demonstrate the dj’s skills, bad video to demonstrate the capabilities of the product.
Less forethought and passion went into this than the cupcakes made by the loser in the first round of the great british bakeoff. Really tired of seeing demos from guys who think because they have a name they can be lazy and banal.
You know who should demonstrate this mixer? Billy18bm. Just check him on YT. He really uses the 57mk1 to its fullest potential.
meh.
I guess it’s an OK product video (others disagree) but really doesn’t showcase Skratch. I’ve seen this dude live a few times and he tears those decks apart. Way more than what is shown here. Check Buck 65’s album “Situation” which was produced by Skratch including all the turntable wizardry and be amazed.
