neks Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) the first piece in this video would probably fit and I don't think it was ripped off from someone else either Edited April 4, 2023 by neks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 ^^^That Noise one is the best I remember seeing. IDK if this Craze one counts... kinda is toning but not quite like how it's normally done. Crazy B did some toning... there are a couple in this set (first one is meh but second one it's cued up to is decent for the time period) (also holla! Doggystyle setup!). Swamp had a couple that were basic but still pretty cool (also did needle dropping). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00ban Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I mean this shit always sounded pretty cornball to me. Let's be honest, it's out as tune as fuck. I recently went on a little mini tour filling in for Dubba Dutch with Dat Brass band (they're all proper trained musicians). I was pretty embarrassed when drunk trumpet came on by Kid Koala and they had to turn it off it was so out of tune. I know that to most people they don't care and the name 'drunk trumpet' obviously show Kid Koala knew it was out of tune. But still, it's sometimes humbling to hear what other people think of turntablism. My other friend who plays guitar and who once came to a Super Scratch Sunday couldn't stand it either. He was just like, "it's just a load of people taking it in turns to make a load of noise." I have to admit, I've had similar thoughts. You get the odd routine in turntablism that is pretty much the bees knees, but the majority of it is wack (I include myself in that list too ha) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since I've given it a listen but remember that being really well done. Quote My other friend who plays guitar and who once came to a Super Scratch Sunday couldn't stand it either.

Or trying to juggle since i was shit anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Burglar Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Oh wait, you said "well known tunes.". The best I can come up with then would be ISP Klams Uv Death where they do the Original Concept "Knowledge Me" / Masta Ace "Born to Roll" routine. Not sure I'd classify those as "well known tunes". Was never a huge fan of the whole tone thing, even with the C1/midi. When you start busting out London Bridge and Mary Had a Little Lamb it's even worse. The first time 8-Ball didi it, it was cool because of the concept. After that it was corny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. and yes - it still is, Steve. .....bombastic, bom bom bom bombastic!!! lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
