DJ Shortkut looks at the different levels of turntable techniques that go into the art of scratching. Although many of us grew with these sounds, the actual techniques and how they fit together is often a mystery until you hear an expert break it down, if you’ll excuse the pun.
What I can also appreciate here is the sense of listening, feeling the beat, and mastery of technical skill that goes into turntablism. Although Shortkut makes it look easy, years of practice is needed to master these skills, just as with any other instrument.
