      He isn't though. He simply abdicated his throne. Qbert did the same in other aspects of dj competition.

      It's Craze. He's been doing this on vinyl for decades. Moving to digital is simply evolution. Our job as DJ's is to do everything we can to please crowds. That's it. As a house DJ, I switched to digital because it means that instead of taking two 80lb cases with 200 records in them, I can take a hard drive with every track I've ever owned which means I can do a better job for my crowd. I can scratch on cdj's just as well as on vinyl. I can sample from movies, I can loop on the fly, I can set fixed cue points...Vinyl is fine, but to be competitive and to maximize out ability to please crowds, we've had to evolve beyond it.
      With this video in mind specifically, I'll point out that he's still using vinyl - albeit control vinyls - but in addition to that, he's also integrated pads and samples, is using organic percussion techniques, and has constructed a scratch routing every bit as complex (if not a great deal more complex) than what was possible in the past. Would it be impressive if he did that with just vinyl? Sure. Would it be impressive if someone excavated a construction site with just a shovel? Yeah, clearly. Doesn't mean that it's efficient, though, or that it gets the job done well or that it's even possible.
      As a DJ of 20 years who has played extensively on both vinyl and digital, I can tell you that it's not the medium that's important. It's what you do with it. Would it be fair to say that when Les Claypool plays his Whamola that he's not really playing an instrument?
      Don't forget that when turntablism started, we were ridiculed by musicians who play organic instruments as "not actually doing anything" which any scratch DJ can tell you is absurd. Don't find yourself guilty of the same faulty logic.

    pretty cool video programming. I also like the automated edited tracks. and the fact that your able to just do tricks usually no longer than 3 mins... and then just power down and go into a new routine. pretty dope. though i wish the camera would just stay on 1 frame. but then again the flashy glam makes everything cooler to the average. woohoo! love me some video hype.

    @ everyone asking: He's using a "dvs" (digital vinyl system) controlling Traktor Scratch Pro and a Kontrol X1. Nothing is coming from the vinyl per se... All the music and samples are on the computer. Traktor Scratch Pro can use 4 "decks" each configurable for tracks or samples so while he's controlling 2 tracks with dvs he's also triggering samples from two more "sample decks" with the X1. In addition he is juggling cue points set on the track decks. There's a lot going on in that mix and Craz

      He has golden faceplates on in this video though, the stock faceplate is black.
      Now that Rane is the main DMC sponsor, they give out golden Rane Sixty-Eight mixers to the winners.
