Scratch Practice (DJ Cam - "Gangsta Shit")

Also see "HD" version at vimeo dot com /339998
Bits and pieces of the classic Toasted Marshmellow Feet Breaks over DJ Cam's "Gangsta Sh*t" .. Filmed while getting through a hangover on a lazy Saturday.

I wanted to make something different from all the scratch videos with 4 minutes of nothing but "aaahhh", rather using varied sounds and something more rhythmic.

No MPC this time, but I've got a shirt on from futureproducers.com - does that count? ;)

[scottschiller]

It's the "intro" track on the DJ Cam LP (Underground Vibes), sorry I don't know what the original sample is.

man wuts ur set up?

i'm thinkin bout gettin some turntables and i was wonderin wut some good shit ta get was?

[scottschiller]

2 x Technics 1200s, Stanton SK2f mixer. You could get a newer/fancier mixer these days, though a simple two-channel one should work nicely. Also see schillmania (dot com) /content/opinion/2005/04/12/wh­at-turntables-to-buy/

not half bad man. is it a joke that you're using a house phone?

[scottschiller]

No joke, it's a great headphone (though it sounds tinny like a public phone, you could replace the speaker in theree) .. Makes tons of sense as it leaves your hands free to mix etc., and it has a microphone that works too - bonus!

Nice old school.
