DJ Premier keeps the cuts simple yet effective. Every time a winner.
What could you take from Premier?
Are you overcomplicating your cuts?
I hear stabs, chirps, forwards, transforms and babies.
Not a double click in sight yet pure class.
Premier encourages me to work on the basics.
I hope this encourages you to get the funk feeling and do the same!
Stay Fresh.
Happy Scratching! 😀

I like those nice tight scratches. Personally, I’m still working on the basics (chirp, flare, etc). I’ve been at it about a month. I spin a lot of dubstep. It would be cool if you had an example of scratching to dubstep. At 140 bpm I feel like it would be a different kind of scratching.

Thanks for what you do! Keep ’em coming!!!
Cool stuff Hans! I do scratch to some. I think of it as 70 bpm though so its slower and loads of space for cool scratches.
I actually have a free dub step beatpack here:

I’l get to a little demo at some point for sure.
Thanks for stopping by the site.
