Wait..... do you have a third thing playing some of the backing tracks, or does the sound not sync with what you are doing?

For example 1:18 you start a sample on the left deck, whilst playing a James Brown vocal sample on the right. However, when you stop the left deck the riff keeps on playing.

This is just one example, it seems to happen quite a bit throughout the recording.

Or am I being cynical and you are in fact using two copies of the same record? If so its very good well done.

@GBscottieUK as you said - it's called looping using doubles , originated by Kool Herc. 45King in full effect

[soulful1illusion]

@trnfinger Actually Kool Herc never doubled up breaks (he had djs like Imperial JC, Whiz Kid, Black Jack etc to extend breaks cause he couldn't) , he was like a regular dj who played break records. Flash invented the quick mix (which every hip hop dj after him adopted) although there were earlier djs like Pete Dj Jones who extended breaks using two copies as early as the late 60's (allegedly)

@soulful1illusion @soulful1illusion thanks for update, we recently found out about it, and put interview with Pete DJ Jones on Oldschoolers Crew page few weeks ago. Big up and happy 2012 year

@oatstao I understand the mechanics of it. If you read my first post you will see what I am saying is that the only way to acheive that if by having two copies of the same record playing symataniously on each deck but at different positions. As has been confirmed that is preceicely how he is doing it which demonstrates his skill, because no mixer (unless it has a sampler) can do this without doubles.

@DJNation Please dont mistake my comments as critisicm, they are quite the oposite. I was meerly analysing his techique, and praising his work because he's so good at what he does it seems impossible.

Its the same thing as say watching a magician at work with people saying, thats not possible surely, but it is with practice.
