      Good point taking a melodic AND slow song and mixing it is SO SO much harder, completely unforgiving... Like watch style dance, The slower it is the easier it is for people to notice your mistakes and the more it's related to Melody versus heavy beats when things don't pair it's so painfully obvious.

  • @bearsaremonkeys
    @bearsaremonkeys 12 років тому +41

    Okay. He's using old records to manipulate and create new sounds which are reminiscent of genres such as post-rock with the crescendos and is making an ultimately unique and interesting song while still staying original to a song nearly everyone is familiar with, which, believe you me, is not easy. Plus the fact that this is entirely mixed live with incredible attention to detail and precise scratches that don't take away from the rhythm whatsoever takes serious talent. And it sounds good.

    True art form of turntablism. No laptops (serrato) or any beat machines used for sampling. Just three turntables and a mixer. Real skill and on-the-spot mixing that not too many dj's these days do and that's why it is a classic

    • @sircolt8184
      @sircolt8184 4 роки тому +9

      When we started turntabling we didn't have no fancy schmancy pitch controls. You had to spin the Schellack in the right speed. Kids these days are spoiled with their electricity and their "vinyls". If youre a real dj you only need two phonautographs a lead cylinder and some creativity.

At 70, a Mom and G-Ma, this is one of my favorite songs. I had no idea who he is nor what he does. I was literally blown away and my heart broke open and my eyes leaked. And then, his parting verbiage, " take care of each other" put me over the top! 💜🎶 🌟

    it's like a hundred times better.
