This man is not only a God at his craft, but actually an excellent teacher. Much respect to him and we are extremely lucky that he decided to make this series.
Your tutorials are pure gold! Absolutely no attitude, extremely professional touch all the way and very clear instructions. This is how everything should be done. Thanks Angelo!
Thanks alot I been scratching on a controller for 5 years now just getting back into djing didn't really like the feel so I started buying stuff for turntable setup and couldn't really remember anything I used to do with vynl now its all coming back to me
jesus chris man, best dj instructional videos yet, you havent skipped anything. ive really learned alot. im doing it right now and i just learned about slowing the record down to get different pitches, who would have thought. i feel dum, thanks alot for making me feel dum:) appreciate it! cant wait till the next video.
Ive been djing for years and could never get a clear explanation or understanding as to why Djs turned their turntables that way until today. Thanks for clearing that up D'angelo. Great Job!
Shiny label trick to make the hole smaller is GENIUS! Been mixing for 15 years (just getting into scratching) and can tell you all it works! Thanks for the tip!
have been following up VDO of turnablism for last year.. these vids are definitely class AAA++ . straight to the point, very clear in presentation, great advice. Appreciate with respect.
It's great to see somebody taking his time to make these really basic tutorials. We're all at different levels, and this would have been great for me a year or two ago. Now I'm more of a beatmixer than a scratcher, but who knows? I may get keen on trying this out.
Having some clear exercises to practice is huge. This series is the only content I've found thus far that's as helpful. I will be sharing this content far and wide. Thank you! (Also I have ideas for putting together study aids for this; the Vic Firth site had a great set of exercises for drums, I think you could do exactly the same thing with this content).
man those tutorials are just GREAT. I dunno whether to start or not doing turntablism but those tutorials and the inspiration you give me as an artist are on top of the "pro's" list :) bless !
"O MESTRE QUE PASSA A SUA ARTE E SEUS ENSINAMENTOS SERÁ ETERNIZADO" Eu criei essa frase agora pensando nessa aula que vc deu. E mesmo não sabendo muito inglês, consegui entender tudo !!! CONGRATULATIONS DJ ANGELO, THANKS EVER. Ângelo é nome de 1 grande amigo meu por aqui. VC é fera no que faz e na humildade uma grande pessoa que vai longe e tem 1 grande futuro !!! Kkk o passado e o futuro se baseiam no hoje, se não existir o hoje, nenhum existirá kkk O HOJE É SEU !!! VIVA O PRESENTE... Fica na paz, fica com DEUS. 1 abraço meu amigo. OBSERVAÇÃO- gostei de ver o acervo de seus discos em outro vídeo. LIKE pro canal !!!
One of the clearest tuturials ever. Watched this years ago and I finally found this record to follow along. Any other song recommendations with great samples like this?
Nicely done! I also find that handling vinyl with clean fingers can be slippy, like when you try n skin up just after you've washed your hands and it slips on the paper - moisturiser/hand cream helps with this, or a bit of spit. Lol.
Potentially but if you're careful, you can peel stickers off without leaving too much residue on the vinyl. Any problem stickers can be removed with label remover fluids...
THESE TUTORIALS R GREAT AND ARE SO CRUCIAL TO SPEEDING UP THE LEARNING CURVE, BUT THE "DESIRE TO PRACTICE" ..PROBLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT KEY WORDS ANY MENTOR THIS GREAT COULD SUGGEST.....TAKE HEED...NEW DJ'S....PRACTICE, PRACTICE AND THEN WHEN YOUR DONE PRACTICING...PRACTICE SOME MORE THEN U VCAN PRACTICE & ENJOY.CUZ IT HAS TO BE FUN IN ORDER FOR YOU TO HAVE THE DRIVE TO KEEP UUP DA PRACTICE SESSIONS...
yah i would agree with superDGRL. DJAngelo does spk very well, is not big headed (because hes confident) and yes a very good teacher that i had no trouble following. all in all he should get paid for doing it cos hes that good and power to him. take care my man, may the force be with you ; - )
if your deck has s-shaped tone arm & a cartridge w/ a head shell try turnin your cartridge facing out at a 45 degree angle. loosen the cartridge enuf to turn it then tighten. adjust the tone arm height, and weight as needed. and set the anti-skate at zero or set it to the middle so it doesnt pull in or push out. if you prefer the other style needle then get a headshell set up for a straight arm. if you have a straight arm im not sure wuts up, you might have several problems if not a big problem.

Classic old school. This is a real DJ 👌!. Not these lazy ass new generation DJs with all the digital virtual bullcrap! Cheap plastic controllers. Music waveform mixes everything for them perfectly. That's not real deal DJs! This dude is the real deal! Thank you bro 👍! Great video great teaching 👌!

Nice tip, thanks
Dude! You inspire me. Your skills are unmatched and your love of your craft comes across without attitude. Love it man!
Just came across this video randomly while searching for old school music, I hope you're still DJ'ing bro, interesting video.
This was 11 years ago yet the quality is still good!
I'm going to start my scratching skills today. I'll be using all of your videos to teach me. First, baby scratching. Thanks for the videos.
That was simple and straight to the point. You could rock a party just with that alone!! Great job, Dj Angelo!!
Having some clear exercises to practice is huge. This series is the only content I've found thus far that's as helpful. I will be sharing this content far and wide. Thank you!

Great job explaining this, you're a good teacher!
great tutorial!! even after 12 years posting it this is still very relevant!
never been into scratching - my usual clients are not into it - but was curious and this is a great intro vid. Nice job!
‘These two fingers’ ;-D
Top vid btw 👍🏼
This video series helped me out when I started DJing 3 years ago
Nice vid, clearly explained and very informative, very good base for anyone attempting to learn to scratch, props!
very frickin clear, methodical, and helpful. thank you
ANGELO FTW!!!
even the basic baby is explained so clearly.
love the vids!
Nicely done! I also find that handling vinyl with clean fingers can be slippy, like when you try n skin up just after you've washed your hands and it slips on the paper - moisturiser/hand cream helps with this, or a bit of spit. Lol.
Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful!
I love the Technics mixer. Old skool :) I still have a bunch of old vestax mixers that I should be restoring.
Wow, great video. You definitely have a talent for teaching.
...yeah you bad boy real bad...so precise and able to communicate that well thanks lil buddy
I dont scratch records, but man what a learning experience. Loved how you explained it.
Potentially but if you're careful, you can peel stickers off without leaving too much residue on the vinyl. Any problem stickers can be removed with label remover fluids...
Thank you for these videos. Now that my more suitable records arrived is time to put these videos to practice.
Thanks for the help! It's appreciated greatly

Thank you very much for your awesome tutorials. I am just getting into turntablism, and this is such a great help!

dang bro, you think of everything! big up!
if your deck has s-shaped tone arm & a cartridge w/ a head shell try turnin your cartridge facing out at a 45 degree angle. loosen the cartridge enuf to turn it then tighten. adjust the tone arm height, and weight as needed. and set the anti-skate at zero or set it to the middle so it doesnt pull in or push out. if you prefer the other style needle then get a headshell set up for a straight arm. if you have a straight arm im not sure wuts up, you might have several problems if not a big problem.
Amazing tutorials! thanx for that!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!
🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥 Thanks for these videos, greetings from Colombia
Thanks so much for uploading these videos next to keyboards I'd like to learn how to do the turntables. I also subbed to your channel
YO!
You get tremendous respect points from me for still being active on this channel over a decade after this video has been released. I've actually been seeing your videos in my recommended for a while now but this is the first one I watched.
If you don't mind answering, what's your perspective on scratching on S arms vs straight arms? Was their ever a turntable you used that had an S arm that performed similarly to a straight without the sound quality drawbacks that a straight normally has?
Asking this because my RP7000mk2 has an S arm and I am skipping a little. Could also just be my hand, I'm used to a controller.
PEACE!
Best how to scratch tutorial I've seen so far! Nice job!
Nice, actual vinyl
Classic old school. This is a real DJ 👌!. Not these lazy ass new generation DJs with all the digital virtual bullcrap! Cheap plastic controllers. Music waveform mixes everything for them perfectly. That's not real deal DJs! This dude is the real deal! Thank you bro 👍! Great video great teaching 👌!
