If some people are in the dark concerning my recent Scratch posts, I just remembered that I’d posted up a Q-bert freestyle mpeg that I’d gotten from a friend a while back.
A succint definition of turntablism from a Youth Radio article:
Coined in 1995 by world champion DJ Babu, “turntablism” is the use of a phonograph turntable as a tool to create music, not just to play it. In essence, turntablism is music based on sound manipulation. It centers on sounds called “scratches” that can be produced through the manipulation of sounds recorded onto records.
