We have another champion amongst us! Joining the elite ranks of previous DMC champions DJ Nelson and DJ Vajra, QSU student Vekked has just won the DMC Battle for World Supremacy. 

QSU: How long have you been DJing?

QSU super student Supaphonik has released what he's calling "Scratch Master Tape 2012", which is a really nice mix of beats and skraching that features a variety of ill cutters. Here's what Supaphonik writes:

Hi everybody, do you remember when scratch DJs made tapes? Back in the day, I used to listen many of those, like DJ Crazy B, DJ Mouss, Cut Killer, A-Trak, and of course Qbert.  I was nostalgic of this time so I came up with this, because nowadays nobody makes scratch tapes anymore, and it's sad!

So, there is about 40min of scratch mix featuring some cool DJs like Bjam from bucarest, Tieno, Fouks and Alroy from France, DJ Nexus from Italy, That Kid Named cCee and the one and only Qbert from the US! 

Thanks to them for their contribution to the tape. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the mix!

Hey everyone! Looks like NI is teasing a new 2 channel (it really looks like it can be a 4 channel) mixer! It looks to me like it is a straight NATIVE INSTRUMENTS mixer (makes me wonder about them and Pioneers' relationship - being that this appears to be pretty similar to the T1). I first heard about this on DJWorx which you can check out here.

We're going to take a trip now back into... NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE!

This is some nice rare footage of actual turntablism going down on MTV, featuring two of the top DJs of the day: DJ Miz and DJ Aladdin.

For those of you who remember Skratchcon, you'll enjoy seeing a young Aladdin in his prime. If only MTV was still like this!
