eggssell Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 damn some OG's and champs of the turntablists world 2 members of scratch perverts are coming to OAF 30 Dec.http://admin.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx? ... true&skin=THE TABLES WILL TURN THIS DECEMBER. Forget those so-called deejays who think a crossfade every thirty seconds is mixing. Forget the posers who get an iPod to do all the work while they chat up girls on the dance floor. You wanna see some REAL deejays? Scratch Perverts are the genuine article. A turntablist trio originally formed by three killer DJs in their own right - Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and DJ Renegade Londons Scratch Perverts have been mixing sick beats since 1996. What started as casual jamming between friends grew into a world acclaimed career spanning over fifteen years. Both as a collective and separately, this talented group of deejays have won competition after competition, including big names like the DMC Team Championships, ITF World Scratching Titles, the Vestax Battle and more (Prime Cuts even bested A-trak in a 1999 battle!) These days, Scratch Perverts no longer need competitions to prove they are the all-mighty rulers of the turntable! Spinning genres from dubstep to funk, disco to hip hop, pop and alternative, even drum n bass - there is no limit to their creativity or resourcefulness. OAF Touring are extremely excited to present Tony Vegas and Prime Cuts of Scratch Perverts LIVE and DIRECT from the UK on Friday December 30! It's a cold thumpin' HIP HOP, FUNK, BEATS, DUBSTEP & UK GARAGE party spectacular. With a massive support lineup including Frenzie, Naiki and MK1 in the Live Art Space plus The Funk Inc Deejays: Mr Glass, Robin Knight, Miss Annie & JC spinning in the Gallery Bar. Huge! anyone who's watched a-traks sunglasses is a must, knows how scratch perverts defeated the allies (including craze) to become the first dmc team champs. and only to fuel a-trak and craze to up their game the next year to defeat the scratch perverts.their fabric live session is also an awesome mix cd.this is going to be dope!

eggssell Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 what a great night. the boys didnt do a scratch routine but more did a dj set. a four deck set: prime cuts on tt's, an X1 and tsp; and tony vegas with cds on cdj's. with its fair share of flair, scratching, and that feedback thing playing with faders only (you know the thing they made famous and then craze and atrak started using, amongst everyone else in the dmc champs).their set had a nice little mix of breaks, cheesy female vocal breaks, drum n bass, little bit of jungle, and some dubstep (mainly as the drop, and usually not for much more than a minute). there were a few annoying times when they built up on a nice drum n bass track, and waiting for a go crazy drum n bass drop but they dropped a dubstep drop but nothing that killed any vibe.i danced the whole 2 hours, in fact i was dancing from about half way thru frenzie's set when he broke out the raggatron and dancehall.lots of skanking, and lots of that jogging in the spot move. hahaha jim will know what i mean, i always picture english people dancing like that to the faster cuts of drum n bass and jungle. i always picture damon albarn in some trackies and some new balance sneaks.and jim your bretheren were in full effect to support their kin.

eggssell Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 and lots of that jogging in the spot move. hahaha jim will know what i meanfrom koop's (cupe) record store scene. 0.26 guy in grey beanie at the back. i love that move Quote
eggssell Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 with its fair share of flair, scratching, and that feedback thing playing with faders only (you know the thing they made famous and then craze and atrak started using, amongst everyone else in the dmc champs).at 4.33 the feedback theory, the sound i was talking about.but this vid shows a lot of little techniques that these guys pretty much introduced into the game, changing it forever.EDIT: how awesome is that. i actually didnt know they were changing octaves by chanigng the master vol on the headphones. i always wondered how EQ could change the tone, because it wasnt the EQ doh Quote
imadje Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Outstanding eggs. I actually met vegas and first rate (previous perv) once. Top blokes both.Knew you'd like it eggs. No boundaries to their music or skills. Just good djs playing to a floor. What the whole scene started from and will always return to imo. Big up eggs. Happy new year bro. Quote
imadje Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Ps- jogging on the spot= running man in my lingo. I used to do that for about 8 hours straight with the occassional jesus pose during a big break. Now that was really dancing lol. Quote
