Music Mondays #11: Turntablism

Journal Entry: Mon May 14, 2012, 9:41 PM
If you didn't know, I love Hip-Hop. Damn near everything about it, really.  The art of sampling, the production, the rapping, the graffiti, the breakdancing and especially the DJs.  At one point I became obsessed with the art of using turntables to not only mix  music, but the scratching and tricks that would go along with it.  I remember bugging the shit out of my parents to get me a set of turntables. Something that didn't happen until one day I got a set of Numark turntables.  Before that, I was obsessing over this documentary: Scratch

 

This documentary had me giddy as fuck over the history and the advancements of DJing since the birth of hip-hop to the present (at the time).   It had all the legends from Grand Wizard Theodore (who invented the scratch) to DJ Qbert who was one of my absolute favorite DJ's.

I'd go nuts listening to the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and would constantly watch "Wave Twisters" whenever I got a chance:


It was a crazy sci-fi adventure involving DJ's, crazy space dentists, wristwatch turntables and babies with luchador masks with a whole host of tracks including my favorite, "Razorblade Alcohol Slide"

Around that general time I was also sort of still forming my tastes in music when I bumped into the X-Ecutioners on MTV. I'm sure a bunch of people may remember their track with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda "It's Goin Down"  but one of my favorite tracks had to be "Let it Bang" with M.O.P.



but yeah... this is last minute, but I wanted to have something...

My apologies...

`Oslo.

Hi, I'm Oslo... Nice to meet you.
I was one volunteer of the Community Volunteer team among many upstanding lads and lasses that made up the team. Which means you might have found me in #devart and doing other awesome activities that just make people smile... (or groan depending on what end of the spectrum you're on. Groaners on the failside)

I'm the founder and student of #DACipher a group geared towards spreading knowledge throughout the community and providing a positive and gateway into artistic growth. You should check us out.

I'm a photographer too... I've sold ONE print so far. :3 Does this make me a pro?

I'm a metalhead and I've been one for years, if you wanna see what I listen to, I'm Reaper-X on Last.Fm. Feel free to comment on our Taste-o-Meter compatibility if you also use Last.FM.

I'm also an aspiring musician working on a "super secret project" with a rather narcissistic name, in my opinion at least, attached to it. It's going to have an all deviant lineup, so keep an eye or two peeled for that.

Really, I just want to be happy again.

I am not from Indonesia.
