We caught up with 3 times individual DMC Champ + 2 times Team DMC Champ DJ Craze at an exclusive masterclass hosted by DJWarehouse in Sydney. In this intimate workshop, Craze entertained the audience with his freestyle scratching skills and spoke frankly about his musical history. He started competing just a year after he first started scratching, saying he always knew he wanted to battle rather then play as a club DJ. He quickly developed his skills, and thanks to a lot of practicing and lonely nights in the bedroom, has had an illustrious career.
Now 34, Craze has been scratching since 15 years old, and in that time has seen the popularity of the scratch culture rise and fall. He argues that battle scratching has become too tricky and isn't feeling new scratch artists, saying:
"We were taking records that people knew, and flipping them and making them something new and fresh... We wouldn't try to go over people's heads. Like if I was practicing with A-track and he would do some shit, and it was way too crazy I'd be like, 'yo slow down.' You gotta like fucking show skills but you have to make them understand what you're doing. And I think nowadays it's way too technical...it just goes over people's heads. Like there's a way to keep it real technical and real musical."
Furthermore, Craze described DJ culture as being dead, saying he's seen a major decline in upcoming DJs as they turn to record producing to find work. Despite there still being an audience for DJs, he believes the most important factor today is to present it in the 'right way'. Accordingly for Craze, it's all about the whole package: scratching, crowd control and body tricks saying, "That's how you get the crowd involved, that's what people want to see".

I also wanna point out the fact that whoever edited this video did a really good job. Nice and smooth, and took one subject, standing in the same spot, and made some creative shots out of this video. Also, thank God it was miced correctly! One of my pet peeve is people who shoot videos and do not have the proper microphone!
BEAUTIFUL

"I think the whole dj culture is dead" - Sooooooooo True
Then the edm djs came
The whole MUSIC culture is DEAD!
Edm djs killed then scene true fact!
calibomber209 Maybe they only filled a void because it was already dead before. Who knows
robpeter2paypaul It died but it came back , in my place here 3 years ago no one even know what a Dj is , now people of all ages are getting interested in this kind of lifestyle . Dj culture is not dead.
He is such an entertaining personality! Amazing :)
Not gonna comment on his skills, they are obviously mad as hack.
Craze you my fav all time
He explains perfectly how i feel! Probably why i feel like he's the best! GO DJ!
That last juggle was freshh
I will agree with he said Djing is not dead its just that the music culture as far as djing is changing. which being a producer can be just as challenging as being a dj dont get me wrong but he just has more passion for the dj culture but like he said you have to have the right audience. and Joeyb Themen because its talent and it is musical. He was just showing his scratching skills but he does have songs where there is actual lyrics and some scratching and actual music. he makes his scratching into music with lyrics as well if you watch some of his videos and not just judge what someone does based off of one video. go watch his video its the slave song its really good. And what else is cool is that it has more of a music video feel to it.
Tbt wit the man who showed me howtta scratch
nice tricks!
nice explanations
Legend!
DJ jazzy Jeff and the feah prints

Where do I get one of them mac book stickers from ??
"The DJ culture it's not how it's used to be. There is an audience for it but it has to be presented the right way"
So I started Turntablism recently and I feel kinda sad about this because when I show it to people I know (mostly my friends) they would bitch out 'it's not Dj where's the drop', those things push me back and I don't even know if we still have enough audience to appreciate turntablists out there. Peace out
+n00bie go hard man one day they will regret
+Purple Roach thx man, we need to keep the skratch alive
+nOObie keep on doing you're thing man!! don't give up!! we need DJs like you that know the essence of turntable djing! peace out man!!
WOW... the Jedi master of turntablists 😳
What remix is he juggling?
Word
that juggle at the end was kind of fucking insane, seriously what the fuck? lol
FUCKING FIRE
Siiick! IMO, better than DJ Qbert...more variety and clean sets.
craze is da shit
what beat was he freestylin on?
Toad bomb
Imagine if he took up competitive tetris, I reckon he could hypertap/roll his way to the trophy
Now do that with regular vinyl
Whoa,,,,,Craze saying "that's not enough for me". Man. I like Unkut for why I LOVE YOU. Hey....Love you. . . Never thought I would hear Craze say that stuff. It's like your saying Unkut fakes it and you don't even though he is you in 94. Love you craze but damn. Drop that trap shit and get with it. I HAVE FAITH.
4:21 omgimdying.
sounds like Dubstep with Scratch parts included
this is one of the worst youtube comments... lol
Dude! This was all master craftsmanship! You heard but didn’t hear!!! That’s why he said “these kids these days” don’t know jack shit about “real” djaying.
Anyone know where to get vinyls with the sound at 1:45
+hadi riduan He's using Traktor
This is timecode vinyl. you need a DVS and laptop and downloaded free song
The battle scene needs to change,and change fast.Somebody needs to develop a different style thats understandable to everyday people or it will be completely dead.DMC needs to be reevaluated and revamped.
When things get too main stream it dies anyway! Like the early 90s raves. Got too main stream by the end of the 90s and now its shit! Keep it undergrpund
Anyone have tips for scratching on smaller CDJs?
I'm learning on ddj sb2 too it interesting.!!!
+Iamyouonlydifferent 😀😀😀 I'd love too but it's never that easy.i fancy pxl 1000 but from 3rd world country where poverty levels are high and hardly spending a dollar a day is expensive to afford that.however that wi
never be an excuse for me not to go out there and hustle and give the best to the world through talent in turntablelism
I was born to be a dj
+Iamyouonlydifferent yea I have learnt from her especially the basics like chirp flare and transformer scratch
soon I will upload some short videos for the same
not to talk shit about this vid but, I isn't as good as his old stuff. Like it sounds good but, he's using a lot of technology which makes it easier and allows him to do more. I believe in some cases less is more. I still got mad love for dj craze though. If y'all haven't checked out his 2000 dmc vid yet go do it now and compare it to this and I hope you see what i mean.
Hey what's the INTRO BEAT...?

There was like 3 people holding a phone.
i'll never get why people like this
Sir Troller

S/o killa chiefs
Every time I see this guy I get upset. I wonder what the hell happened to Hip Hop and who stole the game. This crap that is on the set now is insane. These so called rappers wouldn't have lasted a minute in the past. Why, because you had to have talent back then and some flow. The game is truly on tilt, you got people labeling shit water champagne.
true, i love what he said in Scratch movie, "in 20 years i want to tell my kids about Hip-Hop, and i will tell'em i had fun, i don't want to tell them all that I was representing stuff" so cool so real
