Yo what's the name of the DJ before A trak? I seen this whole vid way back and his set was fucking sick.

[Ninjando]

@Yoman1634 Swift Rock

[Yoman1634]

@Ninjando Word man. Thanks!

[rockyranchris]

@DjRavine ive never watched atrak mix while being on drugs, but obviously you have

[aw5omeFRAZA]

yeah a-trak!!!

im gussing these are still the days where a-trak was a hipperty hopperty dj and not the Electro/Nu Disco GOD that he is today

[triplenippel123]

0:00 until 0:12 is simple non sense innit ?

[honeyhere0]

great between 0:00 & :0:29 <3

[faux0]

LOL A-TRACK

[AllNaturalDiva23]

if ya ear aint in tune like a true tablist, 0:00-0:21 would fly ova ya head. DEEP!!!!

[googbrain]

you cant teach that.

[triplenippel123]

super fly cuts, big up big up

[hollowman113]

montreal all over your face

[thedirtys2006]

what's the rap beat in the late 90's that used the break in the beginning.

[Viberationz]

im sory but this is 99, a-trak was still much much better than both those dj's.

[option852]

any one know what the first beat is? I've heard it's Steve Miller Band, take money & Run, but it don't sound like it..

[itchidakilla]

Space dust(Nicole Bayers)& he use's steve miller band@ 35sec.

both r on Ultimate Breaks&Beats (Contains two copies)

[Mixmy1200s]

Akakabe is nice, but he really can't touch this...search youtube for this "DJ A-Trak sweden part 1"

[Wallelia]

Regarding akakabe, thats just my opinion. As for A trak i seen the vid already that you are recommending. the only juggle i ever liked of A traks is the De la soul juggle he does at the begining of that video.

[astronomar]

A-trak & I.emerge are both innovative & progressige turntablists in their own right...I don't see why people can just enjoy their art without bias; I mean, they are both world champions for a reason....

[Dorkster81]

a-trak is way better ^____^ i-emerge is possibly half is skill =x

[Wallelia]

fellas fellas, please, lets not fight. A Track and I emerge are both garbage.

[talltrini10]

So who do you consider good, then? I would love to know

[Wallelia]

Akakabe is one dj who i consider better than I emerge, and A track,. Check out his 98 DMC set on youtube. A track fell off man. His shit aint cute anymore, hes grown up and his shit is just run of the mill. HE aint that prodigy anymore. I emerge with his custom vinyl. Those 2 just dont impress me.

[sucramnipp]

you are an idiot. what would akakabe be, if he didnt have total eclipse's style (and at times routines) to BITE from? even after a-track was considered a "kid", he still won world titles. i'd like to see akakabe win as many world titles as merge or a-track.

so yeah, once again...you're dumb.

[Wallelia]

First off dont call me an idiot for giving me opinion you fucking asshole,just cuz he used the same beat to juggle doesnt mean he bit it. A trak used " biz markies nobody beats the biz for his 97 dmc routine. OH NO!!! I GUESSS THATS A BITE!!! cuz guess what rob swift used the same beat in 95.

[Wallelia]

many djs have used the same beats for juggling as others. its not a big deal.Anyway though why dont you try to tell me why they are better rather than just saying they have soo many titles. titles dont mean everything you know... Akakabe lacks scratching but hes got mad rhythm,technicality and his juggles actually sound good and he looks cool performing them. Akakabe for life bitch dont even try to test the skill.

[theoryz01]

pervs rule. talk to the hand!

[omegaSB]

the beats are dope ...shows hes the real deal somewhat hes DIGGING ...u can hear it ...that shit he's spinning is rare (beginning of the video) that is part of the essence of the DJ , and im gald to see stuff like this still exists

[astronomar]

the first beat is the steve miller band....and its a pressing from ultimate breaks and beats....not too rare...but what he does is infact dope as hell....

[Mixmy1200s]

Plus-One lawl...

[calyx06]

what the last beat

[calyx06]

whats the beat at the midle

[flipside47]

im not dissing a-trak im the beat juggle at the start was gd but i notice dat wen it comes 2 scratching he flow isnt top dollar

[shotta15]

impresionante

[bugstrut]

I think A-Trak would've beaten Craze, if he's entered DMC in '99 and '00. Then again, I think Plus One could've beaten Craze as well, if he hadn't been robbed in the UK Finals in '99 and'00.

[GyalOvaGun1]

Damn right man even craze said that thank god a trak didn't enter because he would have won...

[djnomark]

i think his style is fresh, good timing good cuts and the phrases make sense

[lumo1]

what the fuck are you talking about A-trak is ultimate

[neopandorex]

ahahahaah u mean.. the clumzy chunk style.. thats just allies stuff.. but if ur somehow experimented.. u kinda know its .. intentional.. i find it just.. Incredible!!! i mean... its so fresh.. new flavor in hip hop.. yet it kinda has some kind of old school essence.. u know like.. say the old school rappin flow patterns:)

To me its a bit like Jaydee's unquantized drum patterns.. pure genius!

[TurnTable84]

if he's unorganized then he's got a good way of not showing it :P

[genki008]

insane dj 2.0...maybe 5.0

[MNSRave247]

No, he's just from canada

[pwv001]

Actually, I was referring to DjRavine.

[DjRavine]

I hate A-traks kinda turntablism. It sound so...dirty and un-organised.

[Ninjando]

You gotta be kiddin me

[pwv001]

The dude's obviously from a different dimension.

[DjRavine]

@Ninjando Wrong word. This clip doesn't do justice for him. For the most part, especially the beginning it just doesn't sound very musically competent. Picks up towards the middle. I think his DMC winning set was better than this.

[strobeable]

@Ninjando i get what he's saying kinda. his scratching is nasty, but the good kinda nasty

[djneda]

hip hop isnt suppose to be organized

[neopandorex]

WOOOOORD

[talltrini10]

Let's hear your oh so organized skills then

[DjRavine]

I'll admit that my skills are no where near as good as A-Traks and i know people like his style but to me, it just sounds like crap. I prefer guys like Ie.merg (unfortunately he stopped battling)

[neopandorex]

U mean ur the type that prefers Dre to Jaydilla???

[talltrini10]

A-trak sounds dirty and unorganized, and IEmerg doesn't??? I HATE Iemerge's style. He's technicallly proficient, but he just makes noises; no flow, no rhythm, nothing. Just "Listen to this noise I can make and look how fast I am"

[Ninjando]

I totally agree. The worst part about it is how EVERYBODY tries to sound just like Merge now.

[B6Quattro]

@DjRavine yeah dude, hes so good but so god damn noisy, alot of his work is just not musical at all. but then like 1:00-2:00 in this vid is good. oh yeah dude whats up with u cuttin happy hardcore? some of ur cuts r sick but why so out of place in that genre?

[oticowgirl]

@DjRavine wh-wh-whaaaat???

[djCsyck]

@DjRavine Man is this guy retarded ? I know like Everyone of this Dude's Scratches in my HEAD like LYRICS! ITS SO organized!! Step off Man ! A-traks all that and a bag of potato Snaps !

[lProverbs]

@DjRavine I don't know why people dissed you right off the bat for this, because, it's totally true. Along with his first DMC performance, the scratching in that was incredibly offbeat. And just incredibly dirty. I don't get how people can honestly say he's "sooooo onpoint". I just don't get it.

[Italblessings]

@lProverbs WTF? A trak is mad technical but also keeps mad flavour. Just cause you don't understand what he's doing, doesn't mean he's not on point. A trak is by easily in the top 10 most talented tablists.

[lProverbs]

@Italblessings Just because I'm not fond of it doesn't mean I don't get it. There are a lot of times when he is just not on-point. I respect the dude for sure, and what he's doing right now with Duck Sauce and Kanye and them is sick, but his first few years were sloppy. All I'm sayin.

[ThePongWiz]

@lProverbs dont feed the trolls

[pwv001]

That record was Million Dollar Blackjack Breaks by Gamblin' Pete (The Beat Junkies)

[KidKraze]

anybody know what record that was near the end, before he spins that sample repeat "the new style, the new style the new style"

[qone1200]

drummin constantly with one hand and doin all that other ish is just plain bonkers

[musicdisciple]

agree.

[pwv001]

Nice. I'm amazed you were able to find footage of this set.
