D-styles has been consistently blowing me away for 20 years. THAT is a funky, technical innovator right there. Patterns not just for days, but for decades. Scratch hypnosis!!
I sold my turntables in '03/'04, but I never stopped writing down ideas for routines, for if I ever got back into it. I'm so old now that I realise I'll probably never get back into it. I'll probably end up giving all of my ideas to my nephew, who is 11, if he ever gets into it.
@@j-boogiebrown9961 Did the same thing as you. Sold the decks but always kept up with the scene, checking out routines and vids. But now, 15yrs after selling everything, i found myself with the money and motivation to get back into it and now i'm back on the tables every day. I got my decks (AT-LP1240's) and an a mixer (Reloop ELITE) right before the stay-at-home orders went into effect so now I work from home and get to scratch while programs are running for work, great timing. I'm 43yo and i know i'll probably never get back to the level i was at before i stopped but I'm making multitrack mixtapes for friends and working on getting my scratch back up to par. So glad i got back into it, don't let age stop you from doing something you love.
@@IronCharioteer just turned 40 in may. used to love scratching. was on d's board and asisphonics. had a few friends in phoenix and we'd have hours long sessions sometimes. was so fun. i was so convinced something great was going to come of it. at some point i decided it was a musical dead end tho. the wider musical world never really made room for turntablists. lost faith in it. seems like everyone thought the same because the scene evaporated. couple days ago i found myself wanting to hear it again. started with switchblade sermons. been binging scratch vids all week now. kinda wanna get a table and a mixer and pick it up again. got two little kids now and no time or space. prob not going to happen.
I like that fact that during your scratch practice you pick out a particular scratch, like the title says and focus on it, this one being the OG Flare. That's a great idea. Excellent video, once again, with your skills, making it look real easy. ✌Out
Wow that seriously helps a ton. I grew up DJing 20 years ago in a small town watching you ISP. Never could find anyone to explain techniques we would just teach ourselves. Looks like I get to practice some more scratching again! Please make more I love the 1/4 1/8 1/16 demonstrations. I am inspired!
I'm getting it. Timing is everything. My scratches have been sounding a bit wrong and it's my timing!! It's great as the more you get into practicing scratching a greater understanding. So luck to have these legends to learn from. Big respect D )
dude check out TT notation , if your fade cuts or off its still right as there are hundreds of variations of flares and orbits depending on where the cuts are located , so your still doing a scratch just not this one . In total there are around 4000+ scratches , there are over a 1000 with just your record hand and no fader , In other words dude keep going at it will come
Hells yes..... D-Styles is pure talent!! Practice makes for perfection and having these videos to draw off of, is paramount when learning. I grew up listening to Qbert & MixMaster Mike, But was completely Lit when I saw DJ Craze win in 1999. We all Appreciate you D-Styles. Thank You D!!! Peace to the Beast. L8er vader.
Thank you so much Dave! Getting og flare down. Must of watched this vid about 40 times. Love to see more from the master. 3 months in and I'm really getting used to double click fader. Just starting to put tares in my two click orbit flare. I'm still a bit ruff but getting there. Peace
Haha og flare is my best skratch technic. 3 years on off praticing this lol. Almost as clean with full speed. Keep at it. Never give up skratching intelligence hands don't work any more 👏
Around 1996 I started getting my hands on mix tapes from the Bay Area and I began scratching ever since. Craziest is part is I did not have internet growing up and never knew these scratches had names and who created them. I know I can't be the only one haha
Sounds great, what is an OG Flare, im just curious, thanx homie, always trying to learn new things things with skratching, your awesome, & appreciated my ninja...... 👍👊💪🙏😎🔥💯
He takes it off but only slightly like 1cm or less or he is touching but motor is doing it , always keep close as you can , D has no wasted movements if you watch closely , even on the fader

d-styles is for me personally a definition of what should be skratching about... tons of inspiration!
there's no dj who can freak a beat like d-styles! my favorite scratch dj EVER
deZusCHRIST what do you mean by freak a beat?
Luis Torre it means he flows on the beat super well and super smooth. freaking a beat is riding the beat like butter
deZusCHRIST there are plenty... but we all have opinions
and i have a few names i can drop
true. and I can bet you the dudes you name drop will have d styles in their top list
LoL
on the contrary... he may have them on his top list.
so here’s one
DJ JAZZY JEFF
Hands down the best scratch tutorials in the internet. D-Styles needs to be in the GOAT conversation.
Dude's just casually bending time, amazing!
A true LEGEND. If I dust off my 1200's and go back to turntablism it will be because of these videos.

And if you don't sell them to me

D-Styles. Thank you so much for putting out these videos!! Although there are many videos already out there, it’s about time we see your take. 🙏
You are by far my favorite turntablist. Thank you for making these for us!! means a lot!

omg this is poetry in motion. holy shit this is beautiful. i think him and q bert are neck and neck to the best scratchers in the universe.
I "could" agree with ya, IMO, Craze has a few horses in that race though.
Mesmerizing. Absolutely amazing, the true art in turntablism right here
Thank you so much Dave! Getting og flare down. Must of watched this vid about 40 times. Love to see more from the master. 3 months in and I'm really getting used to double click fader. Just starting to put tares in my two click orbit flare. I'm still a bit ruff but getting there. Peace
crazy flows and vocabulary. Hendrix of the turntable D Styles !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I had started off scratching non-hamster whenever I watch D-styles.
Love his cuts on "Agony" by AWOL 1 and Daddy Kev.

Do you keep your hand on the record while moving forward or is it like a drop?
He takes it off but only slightly like 1cm or less or he is touching but motor is doing it , always keep close as you can , D has no wasted movements if you watch closely , even on the fader
clean.
But making the clicks on the reverse part is the same? It feels more more natural for me.
True creators
Better than Qbert's tutorial
vinyl ASMR
Which turntables are being used? Anyone know?
Just realized I was watching this at 1.5x. LOL.
can you do a Scratch Practise of crabing tears please ?
The D in D-Styles stands for Diabolical
Orrrrr, his real name is Dave 🙄
Is that a OIT hat?
Thats two .. trillion rings %%

D-Styles is probably the nearest that anyone has come to actually being a Turntablist.
Still no one has truly understood it accept myself.
Haha.
