It is hard. Taken me ages to get it right but when you do. It starts 2 become second nature and its definately wortth having some hardcore scratches under your belt. I am a strong believer in the next generation DJ's have 2 b able to do more than just beat mix live. So I got of my ass got loads of tutorials + Video clips e.t.c. and spent ages learning each and it does pay off eventually. Its then nice to go the club do what everyone else does then blow them alll out of the water by doing more

| Nah I still think Conways is better...Halliwells doesnt have as much rhythm to it..too repetitive..chirp chirp chirp then every 8 beats or so he'll do the crap on it...Ive seen Halliwell do it live..I have supported him in Dublin in Ireland . . .no doubt he's good..not mad on his tracklisting tho ! |

I get tons of tracks through B4 they come out. This ones a vinyl Groover & Redhed track...
As for DJ's who play trance and scratch thier few and far between mate. None of the big DJ's are doing it (which they F'in should be by now) e.g. I was V.I.P. @ Creamfields this year and thier was a lack of people who actually impressed me not cos thier bad DJ's but the fact that everyones heard them beatmix a million times B4 and they should be doing more as apposed to living off thier big names. Among the DJ's that did impress where Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke & obviously eddie because they where abit more diffinitive in thier own way. If you come across any trance DJ's that scratch(well) pls let me know...

I think we also have to look at this thing a lot more in depth than just a few chirps.
While I have a Hip Hop background from long ago and can boast that I can beat juggle, crab etc. I don't do it in trance music. I can emulate eddie's scratch quite easily and make it more complex too. I have to say that I don't think that it's the future.
I do however think the techno DJs give us a glimpse of it. And that's why I have started using three decks these days. I like trying to make live mash ups and getting creative with different tracks, vocals and sounds. I will scratch occasionally too but it's not my main weapon.
I want people to think that they are hearing a new mix of something they know when in actual fact it's me that's doing it. Again not a new idea but if someone can really do this well in my mind you are really working for your money.
I also have a CD of voice samples that I sometimes throw in just to give a different feel. Just want things to feel different.
Cheers
