Kid Koala Moon River

[blackmachinestudio]

este wey es un a burra con las tornas pinche bola de borregos por eso no

progresan casi me de cago de la risa

[ianoo11]

I literally just turned up the heat and put a sweater on. No matter how many times I listen to this i get mad chills throughout my whole body. At first my arms get goose bumpy, and I'm like hells ya, next thing you know even the hair on my big toe are standing on end. I've tried to find Dj's that can do the same stuff that KK is able to do and I just can't.

[jredruello]

[raoul93100]

c bien tres bien

[pendulousphallus]

I love Wintertime rediscoveries. Can't hate this song.

[AnthonyIac]

Only in my dreams

[jcotteri]

zigh

[senorcolonelmustard]

his apm is ridiculous. 

[porgy29]

He is unlike any other DJ out there

[FjordMusic]

[cougher989]

@FjordMusic

ahaha she's spreading her legs with her facial expression

[blixem7]

@cougher989 her shirt's even falling off at the end ahaha

[rr201085]

@blixem7

lol

[rr201085]

@FjordMusic

lol

[thoughvoice]

with imagination, you can see KK as a barman lol... loved the song!

[22091989]

looks like epilepsy - sounds like heaven

[mickd1337]

It's all for his mum.

[donspew]

Beautiful.

[kiloelo]

sssssssick

[2Shadows1Dance]

Amazing

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Fresh...

[ooomusic]

Pure musicianship!

[funkybassmaster]

Whenever I get depressed I watch this. It reminds me of the creativity and beauty that still lies in this world. I know that may sound corny but sometimes music is better medicine than we all realize.

[ddnguyen278]

@funkybassmaster You said it! :) In this day and age where pop musicians are manufactured in the board rooms..True music still lives and always will.

[zeroskater1025]

that chick in the front needs to change her undies, she was all into him lol

[goldy123123]

of da chain!

[Tenchijk]

The girl in the Front is on X. For sure ahah.

[YoJMMT]

Let´s hope Kid Koala noticed the girl in the first row got really horny with his amazing reinterpretating...

[rex458]

I daydream listening to this.

[iyf1]

hip hop is an incredible genre of music

[ThrillDoctor]

very great!

[projectdeepcover]

Cool video. nice

[mmaaxx1198]

Unreal!!!!! He lined um up and kept switching between the two so fast. This guy is the best!!!

[RioGiovanni]

Is there any download of this song? I tried his site but the download didn't work as it wouldn't register me

[HalSamuel]

I think Kid Koala is a genius. Comparing many of the brilliantly skilled but ultimately soulless turntablalists to him is like comparing a virtuoso session player to a truly expressive and meaningful musician. He turns it into an art in the true sense of the word.

[PaulsKalk]

Amazing guy !!!

[Acettc]

this song is available for free download from kid koala's record label as part of a promotion for the next 6 days only: ninjatunexxdotcom

[jediformatt]

Beautiful work Mr Koala... but (wow!) who is that beautiful girl in front of turntables??

[ezziesotto]

amazing.....

[Mikefromcabo]

OK, Im kind of new to turntableism. My friend showed me this video but I still don't understand what he's actually doing that's so great. I mean... isn't he just changing from one record of moon river to another of the same? What's the merit in that? Im not shiting on Kid Koala, he's awesome... Im genuinely confused. Help!

[YinWM]

@Mikefromcabo

It's a live remix...done well. Try listening to it without watching the video, and keep in mind that he's using records of the original track. AND it it's an easy song to ruin as well...

[earthboundcruiser]

@Mikefromcabo The really good part is that he is playing entire parts of the song (actual notes) with only a record. That strange sound you here that sounds like a siren (Going from a high pitch to low pitch) is the 'notes' or 'instrument' he is using. He scratches to find the tone he needs for the note...and essentially plays a record as if it were like any other instrument with strings or keys. Pretty cool.

[RioGiovanni]

@Mikefromcabo I'm not sure myself, I think he's only got the vocals playing on one disk, and is playing the actual notes with the other record (which isn't moon river) plus extra effects to give it that cosmic sensation

[RioGiovanni]

@RioGiovanni actually ignore me I got that wrong.

[pryor68]

So badass

[Pela305]

How glad I was to see this guy playing live.

Great frasing.

Beautifull...

Go see hin live!

[MarcoBurrone]

bull shit

[thanorthanlight]

ビートレスの曲でこれだけのお客さんを上げるって凄いですね。

このリミックスでレコード欲しい。

beatiful!!

[stoplying]

damn that was great. Andy Williams would've been impressed by the Kid.

[cabanestrut]

beautiful

[ricasa25]

:_( Nice.....

[HEXMETAL]

Kick ass!

[Davozafra]

who is the original song ???

[calmaccer]

en wikipedia org/wiki/Moon_River

[djronin275]

Moon River, sung by Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

[elindorito]

Hi and thanks again for Kid Koala - this is simply amazing. I love it. Does anyons knows the original version of Moon River is used ? Thanks

[Nudelgott]

Simply WONDERFUL!!!

[KrumpleStump]

pretty goddamn awesome...

[Luffy55555]

Audrey Hepburn performed in a hip-hop fashion on turntables!

Flawless!!!

[dynamos87]

Wow this is a great version of Moon River, I still remember the first time I heard it at Osheaga :D

[qwasd0r]

Genius

[kimarih]

This man is a genius! That what he do with the turntables and this song is such a great thing!

[ThaFreaki]

His imagining of this song is wonderful.

[0rigami1]

He killed this classic song...

[Garrrske]

killed in a good way or a bad way?

[0rigami1]

Bad. I don't want classic songs to be scratched with effects like that.

[jordanamagwood]

i would really appreciate if you would pull your head out of your ass and look around. if you dont like the song i respect that, but if you dont like it because its scratched thats some pathetic and absolutely outdated bullshit,

[koreanbounca]

Bad bboy. I don't want my classic jazz and gymnastics moves to be incorporated with flashy moves like that.

[jordanamagwood]

you are such a fucking idiot.

[0rigami1]

The real fucking idiot is who got nothing in this channel and always judge everything like he's a master. Shut the fucking comments up!

[dsplz]

grow up kid and open your mind for new fresh fucking creative skilled things

[0rigami1]

LOL. You think that you listen much more music than me? :))

[holomage]

For someone who lists Trance as one of their favoured genres of music, it comes as no surprise why you can't appreciate the beauty, the musicality and the technicality of the Kid's 'Moon River' rendition.

[FlamingGnats]

@holomage Music elitism at its best.

[bellsandshells]

i do it betta...!!!! love it kk.

[MEGAS1LORD1DEVIN]

5/5

[bellsandshells]

Holy sh*t! I love it :)

[lebasson]

Of all the turntablist vids I see, and of which I must say I often can't fully grasp what's going on, Kid Koala makes quite clear here that he's absolutely brilliant with a turntable (or three)!

[MathiasKure]

skills that kills....

[jellyfishmachinist]

this man has lightning hands and bunny grade hearing

wow!

[Wacktose]

I've been to quite a few concerts in my life, and I have never seen anything quite like Kid Koala performing Moon River. Breathtaking.

[thehourcup]

the last time i i got baked i had brakefast at tiffinys i got dumped hi five.

[0drunkenmasta0]

KID KOALA IS INSANE!

[LensSpankinGoombas]

nope ur looking for me

[juicecrew1975]

he is 11

[blueberryburst91]

..that one chick in the front looked a lil teary near the end of the routine..wow

[blueberryburst91]

who said anything bout fucking "KID" koala 0_o ..i was just pointing out that it's like a really emotional sonng kinda thing...wTf

[bugstrut]

Er, what's the big deal about this routine?

[sigma13]

The skill involved + it sounds awesome.

[bugstrut]

Go watch a video entitled "DJ Woody 2002 Vestax Practice" if you want to see real skill.

[DJSwayde]

Kid Koala has WAY more hand control than Woody. But they have two different styles of turntablism.  Kid Koala has some of the sickest hand control I've ever seen. Watch his Drunk Trumpet routine and you'll see what I mean. No one can touch that.

[H3BR3W2]

It's very beautifully performed and constructed. Very subtle, but still very gorgeous. I get a little teary-eyed listening to it, actually, hahahaha.

[kokoyashi]

1975

[narfette]

or 33, whatever age being born in 1974 makes you.

[bugstrut]

I'm sure he's 30.

[narfette]

30,34, same age bracket.

[bugstrut]

No, I mean he IS 30.

[narfette]

he's 34.

[drwho1234]

Kid isnt really that old is he?

About 18, 19?

[giguereg]

Easily in his late 20s...I used to go see him perform with his band BullFrog (aka Public Enema) around 10 years ago in Montreal...

[Maleeee]

Does this guy have Downs syndrome!? would be cool if he had ;D

[bolexdude]

You're a fucking moron!!!

[taaffeman122]

boo erns

[guacamoleroxmysox]

so amazing.

[sk8erboy911]

i wanna be like hime when i grow up..=0)

[pizzozza]

beautiful

[aquamanvan]

wonderful,subtle and sublime!

[DJLesterD]

goosebumps!

[GGnextMatt]

The version I saw was better, but this one is still AMAZING! Fuck I love the K-I-D.

[hateaters]

I think that KK's piano training served him well. I love his jazzier tunes- this man has endless talent as a musician.

[preston070]

godlike

[MusicBitches]

Indeed. At 3 minutes is the most impressive part I think.
