[kudluk]

[kudluk]

SOMEONE HELP ME OUT, I NEED TO KNOW THE TRACK NAME WHERE THE SONG STARTS: "UH OH I WONDER WHAT KINDA BEAR HIS WIFE THINKS HE IS"

[ads2829]

To all the people hating him right now...get a life..you try and do that and you will fail drastically. The kids got skills. Don't hate the player coz you got no game! SNM Beasties said his bit. Peace out!

[StoneCut]

The track he is scratching is LL Cool J Going back to Cali. Really awesome skills.

[strad972]

Kid Koala is TOO fucking nice.

[salsabluetrane]

sorry but this will never approach the artistry or musicality of a good jazz musician....

[kirrosis]

damn, im a metalhead but he rocks!!! nice skills

[TosserBastad]

[tecpunk45]

[java81]

Sweet! Mixing the sound of a VUVUZELA!

[REAListicoptim1ST]

I first saw Kid Koala when he was with Bullfrog. He's still redefining his art. Keep it up, Kid!

[mtlwest]

No headphones

[MsAnthropy]

LOVE the Kid for the Jazz and scratch....This kid can do the soundtrack to my life!

[porgy29]

The crazy thing is I have never seen a video of him with headphones. He is essentially scratching blind, especially when he has 3 or more tables going

[grooogy]

énorme!!!!!!!!!

[knargit]

Does anyone know the track(s) that he is spinning? Sound like really cool jazz tunes.

[giguereg]

Most of the time, the Kid uses custom-made vinyls with his sounds on them.

[unstableturntables]

[evertovenator]

damn...... i love this. ive never heard mixing like this before.

[Auxiliary84]

lol its called turntablism lol its beyond mixing ma man

[darkitechture]

Turntablism isn't really a form of "mixing" per se.

[vulrock]

WTF this is just damn lame. Fucking NOT groovy at all.

[AngeloMuscari]

iiiiii

[MidNightRav3]

Now THAT'S skill with turntables!

[unkahdet]

Such a performer. If Dr. Koala's a kid then I'm a fetus. Scratch that a twinkle.

Mad Respect.

[CJAnonymous]

He should start calling himself "Dr. Koala." That name's just awesome.

[chaskey10]

this is one of the coolest things i've seen done on turn-tables...looks like he was havin' mad fun

[CHIEFSHAMANMORRISON]

this is so awesome

[Folieaadeux]

this song is actually called Bullfrog but still nice vid

[relaxedgorn]

its not :] but still nice comment

[relaxedgorn]

song is called drunk trompet no matter how your mp3 file is called... i was at his show and he called this song dunk trompet

[treeZon1]

this looks like the whitehorse yukon show..i wus there..ill son

[kmfdm52]

[djpj69camaro]

[zoltor100]

Got this from a Deltron 3030 live album.

The track is labeled "Kid Koala Scratch Set 2".

Listen to it blazed :).

[illbethesky]

Sick as Shit!

[BADBRAlNS]

haha poor dj jester had to follow kid koala playing the god damn trumpet on his turntables.... tough break jester LOL

[aksnow643]

f@*k me kid koala rocks any one got any tips for me. where to get this sort of tunes from

[hermpie]

its called jazz dumbass

[rudeboywhitey]

nice, original. Good left but no right arm action. Big Applause - where was this?

[murhy]

GREAT

[davizm]

....damn KID!!!

[kopypast]

Gosh! Hella thing!

[13Videos]

lovin' it! Kid Koala is grand!

[gibson1789]

my god he is absolutely killing it

[wilsonink]

amazing performance! :O bravo!! claps!

[Bronxio]

Fantastic!

[korstanjeworldwide]

I saw this routine a few years ago when Koala was giving a showcase at the DMC Canadian Finals. No one in the audience (that I know of) had seen this routine yet and just knew him from the underground scratch ...scratch ...scratch mixtape. I think everyone was expecting another take on Run Dmc's 'Peter Piper' or 'Unbelievable' by Biggie like the majority of other deejays that night. When he broke out this routine, it was like witnessing the future of deejaying... a classic moment.

[bingbing234]

i lovvvve this song , basin street blues.

[Beatside101]

Vicious.

[spaderfjorton]

shit, are people still hating on djays for not "making their own stuff"? Do YOU make your own records and play them in front of people? Do you then proceed to tell them "at least, I MADE this, I'm no discjockey, I am a real artist." Well boo-f*ckin-hoo you silly artist-man.

"OW MY ARM!" "And thats what he gets for pretending to be a musician, while he was only a butcher!"

[Much irony and sarcasm is intended here, don't go forumbashing me for it.]

[DJmeditated]

I love when people hate on turntablists because they don't know what it takes to do this. This is as much an artform as the jazz musician or rock star. A lot of DJs grew up listening to classic jazz, rock and hip hop and have formed a style on their own. Dont hate because you dont get it.

[tropicalrobots]

kudos muh mann, cuz it's total orchestral-0maneuvering also... it does TAKE one to know ONE's craft i guess??

[devinkk]

The fact is that, controlling this TOOL called the turntable and making it into a musical instrument is as difficult, if not more difficult than training your body to make music with an instrument that is made to make music. Anyone who can't see the artistry in this is obviously not capable of making anything themselves and is content with just talking shit.

[CJAnonymous]

Agreed. Turning two decks into a full band is much harder than playing power chords on a guitar, and I don't see people deriding that.

[jacquersss]

just about anything is harder than power chords

[CJDiggs]

uhoh, not another one of those crazy sound effect records

[MinOukia]

Kid Koala kickass,he's awesomome, rawr

[burmiusas]

i can see that some people are stupid.... koala is scraching, and he became like that only by his scraching, strange n nice and different than others scraching skills. he's scraching not creating music and he has his name only for his scraching:)

[nnazem]

my friend, he's created a turntable solo!!! thats somethin you don't usually hear about. this man loves himself ol school new orleans jazz, he plays it well, and this man packs the house everytime he comes down here.

actually, this man just played at preserveration hall with a jazz band who thought he was an amazin musician. new orleans loves this man, give him a chance.

just lettin ya know.

[buskerdog]

Wow I wish I'd been there.

[MarioGdj]

grandeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeee

[antichristck]

WOW, love it!!!

[ragharry]

oh shit is right!!!! poor old dj chester - follow that!! ripped it up!!!

[eejipshuness]

OHHHH SHITTTTT

mad skills son!

[lightoffuturedays]

dronk trimpet!

[Tradforever]

Feckin Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[rcrase]

I assure you, Miles would love it!!

[rcrase]

Be nice! Koala is one of the coolest guys I know and if you knew him, you'd say the same. It's easy to observe his insane talent, but he surpasses his talents with much awesomeness and is a serious fan of music. Criticism totally validates his pure genius.

[leafsman240]

I think everyone here needs to chill. I will say this, if you don't like it, don't goddamn listen to it. If all your going to do is be an arrogant prick, then it's better if you just shut up, nobody here cares what your negative opinion is, if they like it why can't you just leave them alone? It doesn't matter what you say, they're still going to like it and you're just going to come off like some ass hole.

[comottodragon]

tangneyk. shut up. like kid koala doesn't know jazz. a little bit of info for your ignorant ass.  he has been classically trained in piano. and just b/c you can name every big jazz artist doesn't mean shit. jimmy mcgriff, wes montgomery, duke ellignton, wow i must know everyting about jazz. if you don't like turntablism thats fine. but don't act like you know shit about what sounds good. kid koala wouldn't of opened for radiohead if he wasn't good.

[nik0830]

he is in to it ! luv it. great sounds

[alexbirontube]

man that sounds so good

[DjizeusCrayst]

You know, being close-minded and reactionary doesn't make you part of any elite (especially when we talk about music, and even more about Jazz), it just shows that you don't know what you're talking about...

Oh, and if a DJ is not a musician (as you said, he's playing something that "isn't even technically an instrument."), then I assume you don't consider conductors as being musicians either?

[DjizeusCrayst]

Tangneyk, you just prove one thing here: you're an ignorant when it comes to "real music". Most (jazz or not) musicians don't share your point of view (check on the net for something called "Keepintime").

Jazz is THE musical style where to use other people's stuff, it's all about it. The difference is the interpretation. This one is one of them, and it swings.

You say it doesn't sound good, well, that's also what was said about Miles Davis. But I guess he's not a "real musician" for you...

[tangneyk]

"Jazz is THE musical style where to use other people's stuff, it's all about it."

Miles wouldn't have agreed with you.

[DjizeusCrayst]

As a matter of fact, he would most certainly have. He, like the others, has used existing material, and have played other musicians' creations, which is understandable if you look at the names of the ones he's been playing with.

Instead of proving - again - that you don't know what you're talking about, I would recommend that you have a llok at his biography. And maybe, at a jazz-history book as well...

[tangneyk]

So Miles using other people's tunes is the same thing as this clown sampling? Come on man... You can do better than that!

[xhalmers860]

if you actually listen the only thing that is another tune is the backing track, all the tune comes from him

[taaffeman122]

boo erns!

[lagtastik7]

tangneyk your holding on way to tight to your convictions bro. There are all types of art forms and that is what this is. Thanks for your opinion however don't over state yourself so that you sound like a hater.

[tangneyk]

Why is it so bad to be a "hater"? There is no Quality. It doesn't sound good. Why am I labeled the jerk? Someday (hopefully) people who defend this, Brittany Spears, and Coca Cola will be labeled the jerks.

[kaidan007]

wow!!!!

[Th3Ch3m157]

my cashe whas gringo... wtf?! hahaha

but tang, your opinion is just that. and so is mine, so dont trip. X]

[HighCDoubleG]

These comments are making me laugh. The guy is good and that is the first jazz turntable I've heard, I have nothing to judge it against, is it Roy Eldridge or Snooky Young... I don't think it is suppose to be that. I played along the greats some are gone now, and I would guarantee that they would approve of this guy; he is just doing his thing and doing it well. This is show business baby and he is entertaining his audience. He spins way better than me, but I would slam him in a trumpet duel!

[turkishxgold]

damn, wish i would have been there. great.

[850827]

This "Kid" is the fuckin craziest scratcher i've ever seen!!! AWESOME!!!

[djmode75]

wtf kid aint a biter what u going on about scracth hamsters for doh kids the man

[mjal]

word...biter.....check the original Dj Quest...

the original..people..know your history..

eddie def, Quest, Cue, Dj Marz...bullet Proof

[LeonidIlyichBrezhnev]

best mixing i have seen

super job kid

[gregorydausse]

Please tangneyk, if you don' know music,

just shut up!! This set is just wonderful...and your comments are shitty...Sorry dude, maybe one day you will understand what music is about...

[tangneyk]

I know music. Enough to be a professional (i.e. people pay me). So I won't "just shut up!!". This set is horrible, and your ear is shitty. Sorry dude, maybe one day you will hear a real jazz recording and will see the light (refer to an earlier comment of mine where I list some GREAT trumpet players), but until then...

Choke.

[xciled69]

oooh people PAY you??

They're gettin ripped off... BAD.

[tangneyk]

Yes.  Real money, too. It's called a "job". But I wouldn't expect your 16 year old self to know what that is.

Again, go by a real recording by a real artist. You'll be amazed at the difference between this idiot and a true musician.

[xciled69]

Ah... he knows my whole life story from a couple of sentences, genius!

I have a job, which doesn't involve shoving my shitty opinion down peoples throats.

Oh, and for the record, you can check peoples ages by clicking on their screen name. Just a tip ;)

Nothing against you anyway... But you, of all people should know that different people like different music. Myself, I consider this not a work of art, but something this guy has worked very VERY hard at perfecting, and I can appreciate that.

[xciled69]

-continued due to character limit-

Scratching is not as easy as chucking a record on a turntable, going nuts with the crossfader and spinning the vinyl back and forth in a rapid motion. Every sound he cuts, scratches, mixes and juggles, is spot on.

Step out of the box man.

[tangneyk]

Ok... so he worked hard at it. It still comes down to whether it sounds good or not. And I'm sorry to say this does not. He's trying to sound like a jazz musician, and failing horribly. The articulation is not right. His sense of swing is way off. And his ideas are pretty lame.

[Th3Ch3m157]

have you never heard of the term turntablist? maybe he doesnt want to be a jazz player and just want to scratch and make the perfect combination of the two, just for shits and giggles? does everything in this world have to be serious? music is for the ppl, whom ever they are and what they listen to.

[tangneyk]

That's fine. But it should sound good. This doesn't.

[rickardo89]

Fuck off, you pretentious faggot.

The guy has quite a bit of skill, especially to be playing jazz on a turntable like that at all. I never thought I'd see the day when someone bitched about a turntablists "swing" being off when they're freestyling jazz on something that isn't even technically an instrument.

Why don't you go find some little kids and critique them while they bang on pots and pans, asshat.

[tangneyk]

It takes a lot of skill to be "playing jazz on a turntable like that"? How sad: To work that hard and sound so terrible.

He's got a recording of a "swing" rhythm section 'backing' him, and he's 'freestyling' (whatever that means) jazz, so he should swing. Especially if they're using other peoples' work--and not playing something that "isn't even technically an instrument."

[tangneyk]

"Why don't you go find some little kids and critique them while they bang on pots and pans"?

I thought that was what I was doing.

[tangneyk]

"Why don't you go find some little kids and critique them while they bang on pots and pans?"

That's what I've been doing.

Now go back to playing/listening to "Guitar Hero"--which is pretty much equivalent to this shit--and leave the music to the musicians.

[baqarah]

dude, chill out.

Are you sure, that he's only "using other peoples' work"? Maybe he just took some of their samples, and created his own "backing swing rhythm section" (like band called Skalpel does! - look it up, really worth it)?

Don't be such a jerk and try be more open-minded. I am no big fan of "electric jazz", but I do find it entertaining and just fun.

peace

[tangneyk]

Using samples is using someone else's work! Christ, I don't even do this shit and have a better grasp of what it is than you guys.

Why am I being a jerk? All you guys can do is say how great this is because it's so "groundbreaking" or some bullshit. Not one of you have said it SOUNDS great. Because it doesn't.

[baqarah]

oh, c'mon!

by "sample" i mean one particular sound. Like one note played by trumpet/piano/guitar. Many of this kind of artists use those "samples". So its like u would say, that Mozart used someone else's work, because he played same notes as his predecessors.

There is a proverb in polish language: "O gustach sie nie dyskutuje", meaning: "It's pointless to argue about tastes". I like it, you don't - it's ok, as long as we can discuss with no hate.

Oh - and it sounds great. :D

[taaffeman122]

THIS SOUNDS GREAT!

[83BarFly]

sampling is as old as music itself, it just hasnt been done the way hiphop artists have done it.

hiphop has moved sampling into literally "cutting and pasting", (with some editing in between). before this sampling was still very common, only artists would hear a base line/drum pattern/guitar rift, and copy it themselves... either way, its still what YOU would call "using someone elses work".

[colossusrising]

that guy is fucking awesome, THEE BEST SCRATCHING I'VE EVER SEEN!!

[tangneyk]

This shit does NOT swing. Lame.

[teknosaurus]

I just shit my pants man.  Awesome.

[josephferrerosa34]

wow hes like a DJ jazz musician holly crap hahaha

[soundofpwnage]

this guy has PHRASING!!!he is damn soloing!!SOLOING!!!most incredible turntabling i ever saw!!

[typo00001]

tks Montreal

[canido29]

alucinanteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee

[peejone]

Gotta agree with everyone else on this one, greatneb your a dingle berry, it should be greatknob!

[solidrecording2012]

IM A TRY THAT GOING BACK TO CALI RIFF HUH

[jojobobo1324]

thegreatneb, ur a TOOL!

[RealWorldTrees]

TheGreatNeb. SHUT UP!!!

[RemcoGT]

nice :D

[funnypuppetvideos]

search supdudedood very funny!!!

[thegreatNEb]

DJing isnt just about mixing records and making music for dancing. In a club situation maybe yes, but Kid Koala is displaying scratching and mixing as an art form. He is exploring the possibilities and playing with the potential outside of its original context. This is a new(ish) direction for this type of music and not to be confused with other artists using the same tools to provide already established sounds.

[pictizm]

go kid koala!

[Mycarrox]

Three letters:

A C E

[Boogaar420]

Its......Well its just plain DOPE!

[necrowisdom]

who ever thinks this is crap and the song is crap, is mentally challenged, and close minded. kid koala is an amasing musician, and id like to hear any of the shitty people you listen to do better. my two cents

[tangneyk]

Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, Dave Douglas, Kenny Wheeler, Nicholas Payton, Wynton Marsalis, Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Hargrove, Tom Harrell, Lew Soloff, Tomasz Stanko, Tim Hagans, Louis Armstrong... Just to name a few.

[spratekzhvezdy]

borec

[futurehead1503]

this is amazing.

[IamArriK]

Hahhaah this stuff is DAM hard!!! Had a friend show me how to scratch... it took me half an hour just to find the dam beat!!! Yeaaaa.... look at my bad self!

[mattydub1]

I appreciate the fact that scratching is hard, but why choose a shitty song to scratch?

[fkenjoi]

It's not really shitty, it's really cool if you get out of the mind set that all DJ's need to do hip hop type things. Check out Kid's "Moon river" for an example. Djing is all about expression and failure to understand that undermines the entire culture and the music.

[mattydub1]

i get djing... and I understand it is hard, at the same time I understand that I wouldn't wanna listen to this more than once... no offence to you or him, just saying that a dj should give u something to dance to...

[myusernamewastaken]

I disagree. A DJ isn't just there for the sole reason of providing dancing music. Anyone can do that.

[shiin69]

manderboo can lick it,the kids 1 of a kind.

[deepmurf]

just fewkin awsome !!

[silverspike819]

this shit is so hard to do anyone hating you should be shot on the spot and yea thats about that

[heyseuss]

Kinda like you, except without the hard work.

[KrYsTaLiSeD]

Oh man. This has got to be the best thing I've ever heard coming from a turn table.

[elchasai]

kid koala is at the ottawa jazz this weekend, didnt get a chance to go but there are some damn fine acts there aside from the kid, inc. the white stripes and kanye west(not a huge fan of kanye's) and i hear the roots were going to possibly make a guest appearance-wish i could have been there.

[fionamacgillivray]

K, why are you always here complaining? You've commented on this video so many times, it's like you're constantly here waiting for someone to say something positive so you can try to twist it into a burn. Lame.

[monnymc]

i'll second that - if you don't like it, why do you bother listening to it over and over while you belittle other people for doing just that? nothing better to do, maybe?

[microcosm]

he's awesome. saw him open for Rabbit in the Moon in 2001. blew me away. much better than some asshole clapping his hands waiting for a four-on-the- floor beat to drop out so he can crossade to another record.

[Beatside101]

godlike?

[junkhop]

this is dope. i like wallrides on skateboards also!

[Manderboobuck]

ok yes it takes a lot of skill to do this but actually listen to it - its f**king rubbish!!

[CannibalHolocaust2]

you should try it out man....

[Handyman120]

I totally agree with you Manderboobuck.

I actually got bored listening to this.
