Mickey Oliver at home demonstrating Turntablism

Reward: http://moozar.com/reward/2058 THIS is a very rare, RARE moment captured on video at home in the privacy of one of the greatest Kings of House music. House pioneer, Mickey Oliver reveals a 10 minute demonstration of "Turntablism", an art form he helped developed during the early 1980's.

"Turntablist"
One who actually performs and then manipulates sound by improvising on a phonograph turntable. One who uses the turntable as a musical instrument. One who performs by touching and moving records. A DJ just plays music.

He's one of the best ever! Trust me, I know because I was the host of the Saturday Night Live "Ain't No Jive" Chicago Dance Party that featured the Hot Mix 5.

@Blackholes81

As far as I can hear it's Transdance by Night Moves or a least a version of that classic track. Hope that helped.

My favorite parts of the video are the parts with him on stage spinning live on turntables using vinyl in front of the huge crowd! Today most of the dj's are computer phonies who hide behind a laptop cause they have no REAL DJ  SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mickey, just one of the greats who inspired me i started mixing at age 12(back in 82) and almost 29yrs later i'm still spinning and still loving it!!!
