I am too much of a Techno addict. Without watching the DJ, it just sounds like dyslexic electronica. Its performance art, you have to watch the performer or this wears thin, especially over long periods of time. I totally appreciate how this has changed over the years and it is getting better. Can you imagine how much this is going to sound and change in the next century? Wow
If you haven't checked out the barcode music, seems like it could be something like that
watch the Scrath Picklez from the 90's
Yeah the cool part of a DJ battle for sure is watching the DJs battle.
You gotta watch at slowest speed to appreciate the skill even more
@@prooflifedoc942 yea it's not really listenable though is what they're getting at
When turntablism stops being music and simply becomes a demonstration of dexterity, like this, I'm out.
Birdy Nam Nam.
Basically who can do it the quickest . I reckon I would be the champion at scratching my balls
Lee kowalski Walker 🙏🏽
You gotta keep the dj world alive tho. Regardless if it sucks,its just evolution
@@lewismulholland2704 Hahahahahaha
Craze's face when he did the body trick he used in one of his title wins, classic. I feel so blessed to have been into this back then until now, so good to see how far they have come. I do miss backspinning and the way some Dj's changed records namely M.M.Mike 🔥
This guy's music is awful
The fact that he pointed to him right before he did made it so much doper.
Boy things have changed so much, his juggling don’t make sense! Back in the days this wouldn’t make it out of regionals smh
I agree with you bro, this was awful :(
It’s a sad state of affairs lads 😔
Ahah and you don't seen DMC france, one of the "champion" is a joke! Now he acts like he is a world champion ;)
@Frankus Lee craze sitting there as a judge lol
OK, so it's not just me lol. I thought I was trippen, like how did sets not get better from the late 90's DMC's. For this to be the winning performance is amazing, I don't know what happened cause I have been out of the scene for several years but this can't be the hardest out.
Wack selection,messy beat juggles and the cuts were just ok. What was the rest of the comp like if he was the winner?
They wouldn't stop pressing buttons
I haven't listened to a winning DMC set in several years so I was expecting to see a huge leap in skills and set selection. Instead I was cringing and bored throughout his set to the point where I fast-forwarded. But still half expected some sick highlights which never came. Kentaro's 2002 set (even his 2001 set) would blow this guy out of the gd water. I challenge anyone to watch it on YT and prove me wrong.
Sure it wasn't real
I remember when simply changing vinyl was a skill that needed to be mastered
Kids today have pre selected tracks on a laptop. To be honest for all we know them knobs and buttons don’t do anything and we just watched a dance routine.
@@jool7793 We did the same thing back then too though. Tape on record = cue point
@@BobbyBriscoeBeats Remember when people talked shit about djs that it's no actual music because they use complete records and manipulate them with these weird sounds. The fact people now talk shit here and compare them to the old stuff means it is an established art form hah.
You obviously never heard of scratching lol
all these acrobatics are just homeboy tripping over the groove and missing it every time
Where has the excitement gone from the DMC Championships? Cannot deny the technical ability, but where has the creativity, the unexpected tune drops, the soundscape story gone?
It's like 'Scratch by Numbers', like the painting sheets of a child's book.
We need someone in 2020 to come along, fuck off all the rules and create a set that stuns minds and blows us away with it's genius!!
Syntablism ;)
Agreed the only thing that really impresses me was when he played half time
Winner? Didn't anyone else show up?
There is wedding set playlist on your youtube page. You do know this isnt the wedding dj championship 2019?
@@VinylVinnie Climb down, sonny. Anyone can compare this to past winners and tell it's not as good.
Chris Climb down? Really? Don’t get your hopes up. If you can say something, I can say something back. You are not speaking with your inner voice. By the way. The bride asks if you can play some Celine Dion.
@@VinylVinnie I was commenting on the performance, you came at me making personal digs and stretching for an insult about a playlist you're clueless about because it's all you've got, white knighting for Skillz. He's not gonna fūck you man but don't let that stop you sucking him off. :)
Chris If you spin as good as ur disses I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems. But being corny isn’t one.
And ontopic: Take a look at the 1989 finals. This one is better.
This dude is holding onto the most influence from the best days. Dudes can't scratch anymore and there is too much focus on technicality.
I rarely see DJ's able to scratch because most of them use other forms than Vinyl. It's become so entry level to do that everyone thinks Shaq is this great DJ and I am a major fan of his in general with regards to basketball or that one time in a shark cage during shark week, i even had his reebok teal and white Orlando Magic Pumps shoes, but at edc in vegas this year and last, most of the time his hands are off the table and holding a mic to hype the crowd and body moving. I swear most people have a prerecorded mix that they just fake work or talent. Tiesto still has vinyls because he knows how to be a true God of his craft. I asked DJ Morgan one time to play a fav song of his and the badass straight told me "I never carry the same records for more than 2 weeks in my crate and I was like thats awesome cuz he is always trending and new/original and always makes the dance floor blur with movement. This video is awesome because i believe it really shows a lost art to scratching and how there used to be these kinds of battles in small clubs in the 80's when hip hop ruled and started the art of scratching. Jam Master Jay was an OG GRAND MASTER WITH A GRADUATE DEGREE IN SCRATCHING from the University of Badassdom. Mix Master Mike is a Bay Area legend to us locals, where a lot of DJ Battles became famous and his cassettes made the rounds of our friends, but is def known world wide, I was so enamored by it that I absolutely, ignorantly, and regrettably made my records unplayable and got thrown away. my colored Disney vinyl story (Fox and Hound, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, and my favorite one to this day was Robin Hood with the fox as Robin and a bear as Little John. OMG I ruined them so bad but I felt like a DJ for a few min til my parents shut it down for being straight annoying. I think I also eventually ruined my Michael Jackson Thriller album which I regret to this day because it is still highly desired and I loved that album. Kudos for winning this event and it was fun to watch a lost art that is impressive and just plain fun when done correctly.
I’ll try and help you out here son. If your mom didn’t walk out of the room to answer the phone after your dad came in her maybe you’d have more brain cells but then again you dad also walk out of the room and also your life, but I digress. You seem to be an expert so what was it like your first time winning a world championship? Of course I’m aware Vekked never won because he literally only uses vinyl and never uses technology (believe me, I was there in the Edison days and it was just plain sad) but can’t wait to hear what you can do! Let me know when it’s posted!
These DJ's nowadays need to learn the winning formula...performance,classic music choices,rhythm and most importantly...THE FUNK!!! The jocks nowadays can transform, crab scratch and beat juggle with the best of them but they need to learn how to be FUNKY!!!
I think you hit my biggest issue rhythm, there isn't any here.
Vekked is really dope with all of that stuff.
@Prodigy son yeah, I resemble that remark. 💯
I like the way at the beginning he holds the 'mixer' up.....basically saying "it's this doing the real work".
Nothing beats DJ Swamp Ring of Fire. He lights his hand on fire and literally breaths fire as he jams.
literally would have finished last in 1998.
Stop you Killing me
Lol.....and tears
Sorry one tear .....in the corner of my eye
Indeed, I'm a Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff kind of guy myself. This dude is sloppy and so not impressive. Spending entirely too much time on one turntable!!
I look back at the 98 us dmc finals..every competitor was awesome. Shortkut retires and craze goes to win the worlds
So Turntablism reached its peaked in the 90s just like lyricism reached its peaked in the 90s.
Truth. I have always said music peaked in 95 96.
So true. And before someone calls
Me a boomer I’m GenX. Lol. But 90s hip hop beats made you want to bop your head. Those beats were funky as fuck. And the best lyricists of the time were spitting pure poetry.
Nowadays hip hop beats sounds like disjointed and atonal (not sure if that’s the right word but they are lacking something at least to me). And when you can actually understand the raps it’s -mostly- just Gucci this, wet ass pussy that, blah blah blah. And yes I know there are talented rappers around nowadays but when I hear the beats it usually never clicks for me.
This is all just my personal opinion obviously but 90’s era rap is still the best ever made.
@@andrea.dossantos2869 Man I couldn't agree with you more. Not to mention that all this crap today, be sounds the same. No diversity or originality. These cats out here greatly lack imagination.
Ka proves this statement to be false.
@@LeekowalskiWalker it's not a statement, it's a question.
Lol!! This sounds like me practicing drunk 5 years ago. Wtf happened while I’ve been adulting
Serato
@@ceedig303 And Novation Dicers
Enter in it
It's France😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss the dj from Linkin Park 🎉
I miss when this was a hip hop DJ competition
Forreals
I miss when they used records
Amen. The new generation fucks EVERYTHING up!
I really wanted to say that. But nothing wrong with digital vinyl.
Senator Wax Davis You couldn’t have stated that any better. I miss when routines were good
The dude has skills but the most important part about being a DJ is the selection! Homie has no style -_- wack selection
Jorge Madrigal euro selections 🤔
All this technology and possibilities, but where is the flow and musicality? This can't be the "best" we can do, can it??
Of all the complaints I hear you make the best argument about technology and possibilities. I totally agree.
I'm thinking the other competitors didn't " nail " their sets cos this was pretty average. I enjoyed his set last year much more.
Well said
@Ezmyrelda Andrade Yes, that's the idea: Tell a story on wax ... Exactly the hope!!
Yes it is, boomer. Yes it is.
This man is incredible! real talent
No right hand cuts and few beat doubles, DMC has officially lost its soul. I'm surprised he didn't make the love heart sign! Laters DMC.
how about some cake? hahahaha
Nowadays the level of the DJ is so low when you look at this guy it seems that all is not lost! Awesome 🔥
The year is 2001, DJ Kentaro begins his final show at the DMC World Championships, he didn't scratch, he never used the cross fader and he didn't even touch the record. Now although he didn't win that year, his almost 2 decade old final show blows all over this one. It honestly just sounds a mess. Amazing skills don't get me wrong, absolutly amazing, but to me this winning set just sounded like a train wreck of random stuff thrown together
I literally have not seen one DMC set that comes anywhere close to Kentaro's 2002 DMC set, DJ Woody's 2002 Vestax set, and C2C's 2004 winning group set. YT them and watch. They happened 16 to nearly 20 years ago now. Wtf happened?
What about DJ Brace from 2016, in my opinion that was a clean set without much "weirdness". In my opinion one of the best clean shows of DJing with enough antics and all-around well-sounding track.
No laptop no serato no bull💩 JUST STRAIGHT VINYL FLIPPING!
thanks for saying this cause I was honestly confused and reconsidering my interest in scratching lol, Im like this is what the professionals are doing?
Im back after watching Kentaro :') oh my goodness, that video was absolutely amazing and has opened my eyes to actual sounds created by scratching, BEAUTIFUL
Brilliant set. Very talented!
Serato killed this art form
This is some of the best beat juggling I've ever heard.
I hope that is sarcasm because it's some of the shittest I've ever heard.
Watced 60seconds of this then searched back to '95 DMC to hear some real turntableism skills
I watched this after watching DJ Vekked 2015, and i'm going back to watch him again....
Does anyone remember C2C in 2005? Cuz that shit was the greatest of all time.
And Phel's solo 05 routine, 05 was stacked, iemerg, phel, izoh, staen1, unkut
1:04 amazing reaction from Craze
Its à tribute to craze 20th anniversary
djshinpa dmc99’
exactly ;-)
Does anyone know the song name?
he looked around like aiight.. cool .. i guess ..
So happy about the comment section thought I was turning into a miserable old man
@ 2:50-3:13 THAT'S A SMOOTH TIMED METRONOME... A BEAT JUGGLE RYTHEM ON POINT. MAD WAX SKILLZ
wickedAnyone who says this is shit just remember this is all being done on vinyl with no prompting.absolute pure genius
What’s the name of that track?
@@Skyandrosstolley Chemise : she can't love you
So fucking clean! My favorite part for sure
👏👏👏👏👏O cara e um Mostro 👊👊👊👊😎
That was unispired and soulless. Like a guitarist shredding a million notes a second but has no feel to it.
Really?? Obviously you have no ear for music because if you did you would easily recognize the beats, mixing and his ability to manipulate 2 records at the same time
@@christophergallagher9574 he is super technic but music sucks, where is the funky?
Craze was the "Man"
Gawd how times have changed
Exactly how I felt... mad technique no soul
This guy is another level
That slo mo part was hard 😂
need to ear it after sleeping a lil bit , I'm not convinced right now
that's better when I listen it when fully wake up ^__^ but that's not awesome
Man.. This is what wins world's? I'm going to sign up next year I suppose then.. I genuinely will trounce a set like this, at least I think so.
Did ya do it?
Also curious, did you do it?
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
So so so good!!!
Great job. Thank you.
Craze liquid move was the best part and His Majesties reaction too
"Look, ma! I can make music by banging a guitar!"
"Well, look at you. That's not what guitars are supposed to do and the outcome isn't beautiful, but I have got to praise the sheer SKILL!"
Well Done Son Totally EPIC
Mixed feelings on this one, the juggles weren't great, but also not as bad as the comments suggested. I was really let down with the cutting ability however. The phrasing was soulless speed and there just wasn't a feeling of "no one can fuck with this" . It's hard not to compare to past because that's what it's all being judged on, and the progression from x-men, isp, craze / i.emerge, ect. slowed, but now it seems all but dead and stagnant, no dj has emerged to be like "the future is now, here is where dj'ing can get to..."
Not even having to worry about taking records on / off should have led to innovation instead of this stagnation. This enables people to literally hand tailor their own wax, imagine if craze/bert, etc... had that ability, I have to feel they'd have used it to greater advantage.
Again it's easy to be critical when you're expecting so much, but after battling in late 90's early 00's I'm not hearing anything new, I'm not seeing anything new, I'm seeing guys who are clearly talented, but just doing the same thing that's been done. I thought the 16, and 17 guys showed some glimmer of hope for returning it to high levels... but it never happened.
and let's be real, craze would STILL fuck all these young cats up with routines he was doing 20 years ago in 99.... (still getting mine in the 1..9 ..9........9) damn we're getting old.
For example, listen to this guys cuts, then go back and listen to d-styles freak it here ruclips.net/video/veL9R73zm60/видео.html
it's like hearing something you'd hear in a guitar center, vs an accomplished musician who's mastered his craft.
this. all of this.
chirp/orbit combos yay
Wow.... They should reduce the technology aspect of that competiton back to when pure skillz and flow made you win....
This was a hard watch. I had to watch Craze 2000 performance straight after to remind me of what an entertaining set is.
I went back and watched that too... So much better.
Your age is showing
Christian Beaver how old do you think I am, seeing as I never mentioned it? Why is that even relevant?
This is me when turning on my electric oven 💿📀
He needs to have a track for this sequence on an album. Dope
As I'm French, I'd be pleased to be proud of him but... wtf was that? I didn't get it at all, messy beatjungling...
Same. Im tired of seeing jittery beat juggling like this, they see complexity and more movement over actually making it sound good.
Same thing I was thinking
Too complex for you
@@mthth2320 it is not too complex for me, I get what he is doing and there is a lot of skill here which is good but, imagine if he were to do this in front of an audience of a bunch of non-DJs. They would be completey confused and annoyed by how sporatic it is.
@@CameroniMusic thats why dmc is!! Since the beggining it was for show skills and tricks. For listen music we have club. And you know and i know (my cut is correct;) that skillz can be a club dj but is not the place to
Kentaro back in the days of 2002:
hand making like 15 different beats in 15 different music styles with the same sample on both turntables.
"Nowadays" in 2019 "Skillz":
lives the arppegiator life filled with scratchings.. and wins the same championship
I'm kinda shocked, and not in a good way... more like actually shocked
Showing up with his gold DMC mixer !
The best one i ever see, awesome👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
dmc need to change there format just get a crate of records and see who makes the best set im not hatting just saying
You should try that battle format out yourself and see how it works out.
Agree mike ramirez..... Peeps gone get lazy, relying on tech too much........ it's like stability and braking control on cars, makes an average driver think he's good. Same with this shit......... 2 decks, a mixer and a crate of your best vinyl..... sort the men from the boys.
True. These cats are always impressive but... It's like turntablism is still stuck in 2002. It's cool for the first 5 minutes I guess.
At least it will be a real set not a pre-recorded piece of s***
Christie Z hater
The first DJ to ever name himself Skillz 🙄
Been doing this since 13 years old, now 55, it took me awhile to except most of the new technology involved with djing , I very still love straight vinyl / 12 inch Singles / LP’s thought, I still play only vinyl to do or perform tricks, but if your a professional Dj now a days, I say have fun, but I’ll still tear the pants off that new Technology , I got to do raw or not at all, but I do respect this young DJ’s .......keep the music flowing.
'what instrument is it you play again son? 😂 Aaaaaaall of them 👀 🫡
Technics SL1200 MK2's in silver have oozes more class than this. Old school rule
1210 is silver edition bro
@bob snufflebag ye i was pretty chuffed to see the released a new series of technics
Okay boomer. MK 7 is better you fucking tard. Piss off, looser.
you remember when djs were on time?
Dj Netik winning routine was the last REAL one
This was dope .. idk what ur watching but this was definitely a winning routine
It’s a scratch competition. This is what they have evolved into. It isn’t a dance mix. He isn’t a disc jockey trying to blend beats. For fucks sake people.
@@ronin_user but his scratching is boring
Yes boy
Formidable! Tres dope! MERCI!!!
Everytime I see a performance like this, I have to watch Dj brace 2016 performance tonregain my belief in djing.
Haven't watched DMC battle vids for a while ... Came here expecting to see how the game has evolved and improved since the early days. I'm leaving disappointed.
Do they not ALLOW any hip-hop to actually be PLAYED during a set?!?!?
Darrick Lee Sadly the motto for modern djs is.....”If you aint button pushin, you are probably really djing...which is hard”. We miss you late 90s-early 2000s djs #iemerge #craze #kentaro #netik
So glad I am not crazy and a lot of people agree with me in these comments! Haven't touched decks in over 20 yrs and your comment hit the nail on the head! Look at DJ Brace 2016 winning set. Was expecting/hoping to see something better or at least comparable. Smh...
@@Sonnylintag u forgot dj noize
TraxByFrax #noize and #static was sick too!
あかんlike i do 好きすぎる
Just came from watching Spell's 2015 2nd place performance. I think I'm gonna go back to that.
From a old school dj I will say these dudes are very skill ,but its just all over the place, no soul just a bunch of techno sounds , scratches with echos which enhancing the sound. I think they are better than we was but it's based on difficulty, not smooth patterns
that is their souls tho
This is more of a quick hands demonstration than a DJ set,
MY DJ!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Excellent work sir :)
I think I’ll go check out the performances of Qbert, Craze, Kentaro, etc. I thought the evolution of turntablism would evolve thru the years. Looks like it has de-evolved.
The very very last build sounds like something cool is actually going to happen... Nope it's over.
Bring back the 90s DMC
Amazing
DJ Craze 1998.
Cash Money 88
Roc Raida 95
Dj Noize 95
I was in the hacienda, when DJ cheese won in 86, and when chad jackson smoked the world..
and on this evidence chad would still smoke this guy...
Nice Work, thank you for sharing with us 👆 ✊
If I was in a club and the DJ started doing that, he'd get boo'd right off the decks. lol
Well, at least it didn't disappoint - The DMCs died years ago so it came as no surprise that the winning set was the usual overblown, portentous intro followed by 4 minutes of hyperactive turntable noodling by some charmless coked-up prat.
Portentous?
Mixing without soul
Okay, boomer.
No feel and no soul.. just smashing deck to deck. sad days when this is the new level of expertise and mastership
This is so amazing and cool
3:15 Fail xD Amazing set!!!
What was the name of that song with the female singing he just destroyed?
@@sickdion Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix)
@@dnbWORLDWIDE 😯😯😯
Reason for all the negative comments is the lack of humility shown in the performance. Aside from that the set and skills were 🔥. Projection of character holds a lot of weight.
5:00 skillz killz
have tracklists?
This was boring, with even more boring song choices. Technically he deserves it but entainment value is a lacking. Top Dj though.
Pretty good skills, can't blame him for that. No imagination and no style though.
The control vinyl sound is just too clean.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Nasteee
A Great Legend ..
あと一回でCRAZEのワールドレコードに並びますね。
おめでとうございます👏🏼

すいません、この曲もし知っていたら教えてください。2:34
that shoulder back move was dope af
It was a copy of what dj craze (one of the judges) did 20 years prior
Awesome!!!!!
Wow!
I just started reading the comments, seemed better then what I was listening too
Same reason I came to the comments. Yours made me realize I did the same. Wasn't enjoying or interested so I was curious to see what others had to say. Now I realize this was a show of how fast he could create terrible flow and rhythm. The only impressiveness is speed, but nothing musically.
Frist prize: one pre-owned set of Shure M-44s
michelinman666 this made me laugh
This simply makes me happy

K smashed him
He came on stage having failed to button up his shirt properly and it just went downhill from there
danthemanwhocancan yes!!!
Lol bro thats funny as!

I guess he wants to be a Vato (Chicano) from L.A. because that's how the Mexicans in L.A. used to wear their shit back in the day.
