FOR REAL! They shouldn't even have to be forced; you would think they dig deep to find history like this. It's so much more accessible than ever. before. but what do I know, I also think everyone should learn to drive a manual transmission, drive a wet course, and correct hydroplane fishtail before they can get a license.

@@edibledead420 exactly! That's a good correlation. The feeling of driving a car, and feeling of hands on the records/music. Melo D expresses this I think more than anyone, the ability to detach oneself from the laptop and concentrate on the platter to manipulate the music.
I think he was so ahead of his time with his juggling, that the DMC judge's were watching for something else being the winning trick / trait. Steve went completely over their heads, until everyone caught up, & realised this was the next big, turntable trick.
@@kollusion1 i also think the judges back then were just music people and not djs involved in the artform. I agree though steve d went right over everyones head
Nothing just happens,it's evolution and an origin involved.Years ago,I had heard about him and his crew,yet I was never in the battle scene personally,except crew battles at parties/jams.Those were in clubs or out in the parks,at the jams,like Haffen Park on Sundays,371 Club,etc.I had some folks over and one was Steve Dee,so he swaps out my mixer,gets on,and we're all standing there,watching this alien work turntables like he invented them.It was like this blur,and we have been in contact since.Another thingis,he learns and masters music software and hardware as if he invented that too,and has been using Reaper since the early days.It's not relevant to talk about what others have done unless we pay homage to the originator,in this case,Steve Dee,whether it's called 'the funk' or juggling.
The worst thing about watching old DMC videos is the comments sh!tting on new technology and new deejays... Like can we just appreciate the art without sh!tting on how the artform has evolved.
It's cool but you got to admit. The turnatblism style back then is Miles ahead than it is today. I'm just talking turntable manipulation aspect. It looks almost like a martial art. You just don't get that same type of energy was ching deejays today. The technology today makes the mixing sound cleaner and more polished. But I'd rather watch stuff like this.
MQL Mohale, very true, what im about to say, i hope people can understand where im coming from, im 16, i found out about turntablism and battle DJing 2 yrs ago, im fascinated with the artform, and i like the idea of pulling out 2 turntables and a mixer and seeing whos routine is better. Now with that being said continuing with what MQL Mohale said, the worst thing about watching these DMC videos is seeing everyone completely trash this generations DJs, and technology. Not only do i see these comments on turntablism videos, but also 70s 80s and 90s music, movies and everything. Seeing all this hate is disappointing and demotivating considering the generations after the boomers and gen x, didnt have a choice and were born way later after the ‘fun’ of the last generations have past. Every, single, time, i hear someone say “man you dont hear music like this anymore” or “you’ll never see ANYTHING like this ever again” it makes me feel ashamed of the generation im in and makes me feel like i missed out on, everything :/
I'm 100% vinyl since back in the day, still got the SL's set up ...been to 4 dmc mixing finals, .but. I just dont get turntablism. OK, a lot of skill involved, but the sound! Most of the time just a jumbled mess. A lot of the time it's all about speed over musicality. Once you've heard 4 or 5 sets back to back it all sounds the same. Much prefer mixing, blending scratching etc. Just my opinion.

Odd since Rane Serato was released there has been no innovationin the art.. Hitting buttons does not apply.
Look at kentaro he nailed 2002 but is sloppy in the rest of his performances and that dude is incredibly giffted yet he probably got lucky that night with regards to mistakes and being sloppy in his routine and then the community will go judge other turntablists who are good but not giffted like kentaro or Craze or MMM or qbert or Klever etc, all these dudes destroy it on DVS so its not the technology its just comparing people who are talented vs those that are gifted there is a difference between the two so why compare as its all just different levels.
@AYU the logical next step is to tone it down a bit, make it more musical, MAKE IT CLUB COMPATIABLE!! In other words make trap, dubstep, dnb, or house or whatever sits best with you and then instead of battling you head to rave or festivals and using turntablist skills and a few other things like a loop recorder you play/make live tracks of said genre turntablist style and even btb with another dj doing the same and you just mix into each other tracks, it's time to take the glory back and the only way is to kick them fake ass mother mother fuckers out of the club
My first set of techs were the chrome 1200’s which I believe he’s using here. Amazing decks and set of those and a 2 channel mixer was all you needed back in the day 👌🏻
I can tell you that Steve did not get that whodini routine from Lightening Rich.The ironic part is that Rich and Steve met each other twice in 2 different dj battles.They met for the first time in 1988 at the New York DMC northeastern competition where Rich took first place and Steve came in 2nd place and Dj Scratch came in third place.They would meet again 2 years at the 1990 NEW MUSIC SEMINAR MC/DJ BATTLE FOR WORLD SUPREMACY.Steve ended up winning the whole battle and took home the very last SEMINAR Gold dj belt.
everyone who buys a set of turntables and a mixer should be forced to watch this.
JBLAZE999 strait up
Required for the new generation of DJ's
I can do some of that

Two technics and a gemini 2200 mixer, thats all you needed back in the days when you was battling. I miss them days.
i just got the MX 4200 similar mixer someone has an almost new one
Yep simple Kosher style
And a duffle coat
@@Djkosherhoweywonwtf
O
MY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE YOUNG FISH WITH THEIR PUSH BUTTON MIXERS !!!!!!!! HANDS IN THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE ARE REAL DJS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve d always the father of beat junngliess
and you have folks out there LYING ,trying to say he is not the inventor of juggling/the funk...
Fact
Exactly and people used to say Philly had the djs. And ny had the MCs . Obviously they didn't know about this legend right here.
I get mad watching this then having to watch baby g's sloppy mess of a win.
The Xavier to the X Men
Big Facts. Professor status
Shouts to the legends Jazzy Jay and DJ Red Alert standing on the side. 👑👑💯💯
Flipping Original Vinyl Not That Serato Fake Vinyl Bullshit.
When that record skips it's like your life unraveling around you. Kept his composure and made it through
Still can’t believe that Baby G got the World Finals ...
Robbery
Yo that Whistle routine still holds its own to date... Epic man..
His transform at the end was just NASTY 💯
This is goddamn phenomenal. I've only ever seen a snippet on the Scratch documentary before now.
imagine him in front of you..my turntables needed a drink when he was done with them...
This routine in my opinion is as good if not better than most recent DMC world finalists winners
consider this was 1990 too..
And he barely off beat....Clean breaking beats at that
crazy...he won at the end...the up 'n down fader scratch! KUDOS...
that fader was tough you needed muscles - i got the Gemini MX 4200 very similar
That fader was butter once you added a little bit of spray.

4:11 is my favorite part of the whole set.
Dvvvuh dvvvuh dvvvuh ain't it funky? Ain't it funky? Ain't it funky?! Uhh yep!!!
Insane. Have so much respect and love for the man.
Many will dispute this, but for me this is still the GOAT of all DMC performances.
Brilliant. Love the 'Whistle' bit at the end.
He bodied that...
That breakdown of 'Buggin' @ 5:00 min is totally...

5:19 , too dope ..!
one of the best routines ever
That on the wheels juggle is just too much
Ah ha his hands are faster then the frames per second..... Good job
The biggest robbery in history STEVE DEE. the ORIGINAL beat juggler. DJ ABC MACCLESFIELD England 🏴
A sublime blend of skill and holding down the pocket, a hard-working genius with the receipts.
Super classic routine!!🫡🔥
Classic
He killed that shit
Now that is breaking beats on the ones and 2s
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! IF YOU WANNA BE A DJ.....WATCH THIS AND TAKE NOTES!
Does anyone know what record he’s using? I know he’s using five minutes of funk but I can’t find the one where it cuts into friends like that
Bernard Cuthbert
That's The Whodini Megamix. The B Side Of Funky Beat If I'm Not Mistaken.
You can get Friends and Five Minutes... on the same 12 inch
Chuck Turnher word, thanks for the reply
Madd nice
What a difference between the 87 championships and 1990 doc !!! three years and the skills got better from all DJs 😃👍
There is a US DMC local comp where he did a juggle of blind alley too but thats not on the internet
Anybody know who DJ MIZ is,steve d does.
MY BROTHER I LIKE YOUR STYLE AND THE MUSIC YOU MIX AND CUT UP WITH YOU ARE BLESSED BRO.
Honnetement beaucoup de Respect à ces Dj qui ont plus de 20 ans de carriere , car à cette epoque là ce n'etait pas si simple comme maintenant

The Art of Original Mixing. He looks like Chris Brown 😅 and the Probs to DJ Cash Money was great
How we used to do it. No battlestyle setup
I dont like Battlestyle setups. I have to reach over the platter to use the tonearm and pitch.
