Jimmy I just saw him live last weekend and i said the same thing, dude definitely is hitting the gym. But he's done the same routine for so long, it's hard to really dig this anymore to be honest. He's the man, love em, but needs to progress.
I tried to work my cousins turntables but i couldnt get anything to sound cool. My cousin is pretty good. This guy isnt doing anything but repeating the same annoying beat over and over again. Maybe its just me but i couldnt listen to this shit for 9 minutes. I had to turn it off, when the first 4 and a half minutes is the same thing repeating, it gets old real quick.
I never said i didnt respect him. He has in own show set up at a guitar center, so he has to have some skill. And i will be the first to admit that i dont know anything about turntables, what i was saying was that i just dont see how this is music when it is just repeating over and over. That would be me playing the D7 chord on my guitar for 10 minutes and people staring in awe. To me it doesnt make sense. But maybe this guy is pretty good in the turntable community.
Rob Swift always funky and a true pioneer in the field of Turntablism. His albums have pretty dope conecpts to them. The track he did where he's juggling and has an organ over the top is one of my faves.
One of the few turntablists who's sets aren't solely "technical". It actually has SOUL to it..I hate watching a lot of these new school DJ's because their sets are all "technique" & no soul..
