Turntable TV Episodes 3-5 (Video)

I'm so glad these have finally surfaced... For those not in the know, DJ Q-Bert & Yoga Frog used to put out Turntable TV on VHS (remember those?) back in the late 90's. They featured scratch footage, amongst other random funny bits and pieces.

These videos are legendary and are a part of turntablist culture. I've got a bunch of these sitting in a drawer somewhere, so I might have to convert them to digital at some point in the near future.

For now, sit back and enjoy!

I'm still using both Scratch Live and Traktor in my DJ sets, but if I was to get this/get given this (one can wish!), then I'll be making the switch over. This looks sick!

Traktor Scratch Pro 2 looks dope!

DJ Q-Bert - Traktor Vs. Serato (Video)

Very informative...One of the main issues I have with Scratch Live is the feedback/skipping if you're in a club where the turntables vibrate due to a loud system. It's true though, Traktor doens't have that problem!

Expect a Traktor Scratch Pro demo from myself soon...

DJ Q-Bert test runs the new "Trip Mats"

Some great footage of Q-Bert cutting it up fresh, using the new Trip Mats. Slightly thicker than the popular Butter Rug slipmats, they're designed more for beatjugglers and party rockers, giving the DJ a bit more grip when it comes to juggling.

From the look (and sound) of things, they seem to be on point. Gotta love that hypnotic design as well...

P.S. Apparently they've sold out. New designs should be available from Thudrumble.com soon.
