Besides delivering an absolutely insanely detailed, shoeless routine, he recovers from needleskips without really loosing the beat like not many could in front of a live crowd... think about that for a minute
There is a video of him doing this set in his hotel room before this gig thats been on youtube for ages. find it and you will see that it really puts this set in the shade, in a word its flawless.
i honestly think this is one of the greatest DMC sets of all time along with dexta, craze and plus one, it may have only been 3rd place but i can't even remember what the winning set sounded like this just takes the spot light
He even corrects a couple of skips without anyone noticing, which is so hard to do especially in front of a live audience... turntablism is on a sick level today, but Vajra is by far my favorite DJ in the world, the detail he applies just shows how hard he works
That is some complicated shit he does, the precition, timing, speed is all perfectly done, love the drumming beat he makes at 05:35 which is the best part of the video as well as his signiture blend just before this. Would love to be able to do this my self (Adam - 25 - M - England)
Age should not detract anyone from finding out how funky this artform is (or should that be "was"?), good to see Gopher enjoys it. Hands down, this set has to be in the top 3 of all dmc routines. The speed of the start/stops is unreal.
I have seen several DJ competitions over the past 20 years and they are few DJs in Vajra's league. The is no reason why he shouldn't be a World Champion. I personally believe he is better than Craze or Qbert. Never one of those DJs have the creativity or the skill set of VAJRA!!!
7042407, i can c where ur cumin from.. better than craze? mmmmm? i do think hez in that league tho..(that would b wun crazy battle).. as for qbert, when it cumz to scratchin i fink q'z untouchable.. then again itz jus my personal opinion..
Yo Vajra, you gotta tell me what record that is with the Xevious video game soundtrack added to it. That shit is bangin'! You got some mad skillz, I've been spinnin' for years and will never have them skillz.
1st tune anybody please? :-D
