beatjuggling is a turntablist term.

Basically it's involves playing the same track on two separate decks and these steps:
1 both breaks must be aligned on both decks
2 start deck A
3 cut sound/stop deck A
4 Start deck B
5 cut sound/stop deck B
6 Rewind deck A to beginning of break play deck A again
repeat infinetely.

Playing each deck is like a second or two long
Yes it's very hard.

You need to see a video.
I may have the steps mixed up ( I forget when the actually "rewind" takes place ( right after playing the deck in question or right before starting it again )

Do we care. Yoji sucks.

I heard the same tracklist he played at TE 2005, at Sensation Black

yoji doesnt suck :O i think he makes some banging choons.

when you heard duplicate sets, how far apart were they? lab4 sometimes duplicate sets although they spend ages preparing them and they only repeat sets within a few weeks. then they make new ones. it might be the same with yoji.

and they totally rocked slinky into dust on news years last year.

Nothing to do with beat-juggling but on the topic of repeated tracklists and such, PvD's tracklists are always really similar during certain periods. Like for a while he'll have a 'set' of tunes he always plays, and then he'll switch to a different 'set'.

However, its not 100% duplicated at any time. My guess is that he plays certain tunes in succession all the time coz he knows the effect it gives the crowd. Either that or he is testing the crowd to see if they respond to the same way that the previous crowd did.
