    Happened upon this video after going down an '80s electrofunk rabbithole. The only thing that gave it away as not being the original was the digital recorder. Without that detail I would have been convinced it was the original mix. Brilliant work!

    • @sgtcreasegrease
      @sgtcreasegrease 2 роки тому

      This one also sounds a lot cleaner compared to the og. Not necessarily digital in the squashed sense we're so familiar with nowadays, but the original is just super thick and dirty. I kinda like this one a little bit better.

    I have heard the original recording of this routine 1000 times or more. I have memorized every cut, break and nuance of this record and can honestly say I thought I was watching an impostor until about 3/4 of the way when some of the scratches sound levels and track clicks and pops of some sections didn't match the original which was a very pleasant surprise. Awesome job man.👍

    Always remember seeing Grandmaster Flash tearing down Wembley at UK Fresh 86 with the Furious Five and of course being able to witness his turntable fitness doing his Wheels of Steel routine - fantastic and awe inspiring memories of when deejays were real deejays with their decks, mixer and a stack of funky breaks on vinyl and no pre programmed BS or laptops!

    What a great fantastic tribute to Grandmaster Flash! The first time I heard that record was in a club in Honolulu Hawaii in 1981 and I had to ask the DJ who it was and bought it as soon as I returned to the mainland. It made me want to be a DJ!

    Yo, this is EPIC! Much respect. I've been cutting and mixing since the 90s and I don't think a lot of people "get" the difficulty level here (timing, pitch, etc.) So dope.
    I know flash apparently used 3 tables but the one thing I've always wanted to know is how he did the "flash is/good", "flash is/good" part. Those party noises had to have been the crew live in the studio with him just cutting "good" in response to the live MC because there's no way to "juggle" that part that I can think of.
    Anyway, this was ill.

    YO!!!!!! you killed that bro. the exact same cutz , time, cadence. and you did it classic style with the fader in the middle the whole time prob how GMF did on the the old Traynor mixer with the wooden trim..

      @@oneflowerninjamagic1912 he is referring to the position of the ch1-ch2 fader he doesn't use it to fade or cut. The DJ uses the ch1-ch2 Volume level slides to scratch cut and fade, way different technique than Traditional in a sense

      @@RocknRollZombie13 Ok that may be what's he referring to. But he also suggest that - that's how GMF "probably" did it. My contention is... not likely. I never saw Flash use the channel fader volume to fade - but the fader itself. And Flash cut&scratch with both hands. NOT with the mixer to one side of the tables?! I'm humble enough to accept correction; however.... am I wrong?

      magic yes your correct Traditionally the mixer is always in the center that's the manufacturer's design I have a few Original portable DJ turntable rigs from the 1960s "LATEC" and they are a single manufactured unit with 2 turntables and mixer in the center. And yes you're correct about Grand Master Flash he did use both hands left to right either one cutting and scratching bangin faders that's the skill! But none the less this Dj is good he killed this SET! I would like to know what that unit is that he is using for his samples. What's the brand and model please

    What I notice about new routines is the constant loop . The old-school vibe would play tracks and add to there sounds. New djs ay constant loops and make out it's all me? So if the record was not made where would you be? People like GMF talked constantly about the artist, the roots.

    GM Flash is one of my favorite pioneer DJ's who I watched as a kid in the Bronx. Great Tribute. You used the turntables, mixer and LP's as an instrument. I tried to do this with a DJ Controller and could not do what you demonstrate. I like what I saw and enjoyed what I got!
