    Who is your favourite scratch DJ in 2020? If not your favourite, who would you say is the most technical?

    Yeah, just straight technicality is really cool in some respects but at the end of the day its not enough to overcome the fact that we're dealing with music. It's hard to beat Dave Styles for me because he's so good at keeping things interesting but there are some other cats that are really good in this area too. Symatic is really good at the technical/musicality balance. Mr. Brown is dope in that respect. The Ruck is still more in the pocket than anybody. Eprom is insane. Dopez. IQ. There's a a whole slew of cats that are slept on. Connah Jay for example.

     

    omg ty !! I try man, lately Ive been on a rut where I feel like Ive plateaued with my flow. I find that taking a days break and then returning to the turntables and firing up a looper is when Im best :-) also respect to mentioning the homie Connor ! I was able to cut with him last year and dude has an amazing flow/crazy handstyle haha its an absolutely trip to witness

    I've been using the cheap $12 eBay N44-7 for the past few months and honestly they track pretty decently.

     

    I am using them with Serato but I'll play the occasional vinyl record and they still sound alright. The biggest thing I noticed is their output is pretty low compared to a real N44-7 and it's a bit bulkier but I got the pair for $24 shipped so I can't really complain.

     

    I do admit, buying a pair of JICO styli would be better.

    Portable scratching setup? (lazyweb)

    For beats there is the Tablebeats app, you can just hook up your phone to the speakers and start cutting. I'm thinking about getting a Numark PT01 Scratch with the Jesse Dean fader myself. Texas Scratch League makes really dope 7 inch scratch records, but they sell out fast, so you gotta be quick to get one.

    Theres some good info on portablism gear and modding options here: http://djlab.net/2017/03/21/portablism-gear-guide/

     

    Anyone have any experience with the Stokyo Kutter? How does it compare to raiden?

     

    I've actully owned both and the Stokyo Kutter is vastly better. It is reversible and also you can make the beat/line in either bypass the fader or be the second channel. Both faders are still going to have a little "pop" because the fader's aren't powered but the Kutter is phenominal. Very sharp and much better than the Raiden.
