Микс на бобине, часть истории DJ культуры в СССР - DJ World Hip Hop Classic's - Mr. Tape 1991 (russkij skretchit na bobinah). Mr.Tape или Модрис Скайсткалн первый из советских диджеев, принявший участие в соревновании по диджеингу мирового уровня. Из-за того,что СССР долгое время был отделен от всего мира, а в том числе и от мировой музыки железным занавесом, советские DJ-и изначально сталкивались с очень важной проблемой - что играть.(Советские грампластинки с Аллой Пугачевой и другими звездами эстрады не слишком подходили для DJ-инга). Но русский человек изобретателен: Mister Tape (Мистер Кассета или Мистер Пленка) стал записывать зарубежные радио эфиры с интересной музыкой на пленку. А чтобы музыку можно было как-то сводить, ребята приспособили два бобинных магнитофона, чьи диски с магнитными лентами напоминали винилки, тем более, что бобины можно было крутить, подбирая скорость треков и даже скречить на них! Конечно, у такой системы были неудобства, но все же она позволяла миксовать треки. Mr. Tape не только достойно выступил на соревновании DJ-s мирового уровня, но также стал первым (но, к сожалению, и последним) чемпионом мира среди тейпджеев.
@@dmitrypetrov4710 Очевидно "Жокей на Плёнке", то бишь тот, кто диджеит на бобинах. А первый и последний он потому как - по не менее очевидному факту - ни до него ни после никто больше на чемпионаты бобины не притаскивал.
@@discowolf25 Synch fonction ......you push that button , the computer synchronise and YEAH you're a great DJ ............i'm from 1977 , electrician at work but also DJ , started like this man with tape band and cassette tape ,turntable (never with CD deck pffffff bullshit absolutely crap ! ) today with pioneer consol and traktor but never use the "synch" fonction ! if you use this , let the computer make the work !
Purest form of a true DJ....Hands Down. This man is DJ'ing with Tape.........Bruh I dont think people understand how hard and complex it is to DJ using old school TAPE REELS
Aye this man had some skills,that shits impossibly hard to do,imagine how frail those old tapes where,id get em snapped up often just rewinding!!! Lol,godbless.
For those younger that me, a 80s person, I want to say that DJ-ing on tapes is the most difficult of all. I player with audio cassettes back in the day and I tried some tricks, but mixing on reel to reel is the hardest. For 5 minutes and 2 seconds, I was there. Outstanding and original performance!
cheap cdjs are basically tape. pioneer cdj 100 for example. really fast tape. ^this set sounds like shit btw. no idea why anyone would want to sound like this.

@@Crispy_Bacons thank you sir :-). This was at the 1991 DMC World Championship in London. I was the German DMC champ that year. I lost in the eliminations already, I was only 17 and nervous as sh*t. Amazing experience though. I met Q-Bert there and later connected with them when I moved to San Francisco and ended up running ITF for 7 years. So this event here kind of started all that. Blessed 🙏

The fact that he memorized the sections of the reel is just amazing by itself. Let alone the rest of the set being done without the digital era's help.
He prepared the tapes and practiced his set like any musician leading up to a show. Most non-musicians don’t realize how much effort and repetitive practice goes into preparing for a performance.
Been dj'ing since 1990 and i've never seen this before. Crazy and impressive. This is incredibly hard to do, no headphones and since it's not vinyl, you can't mark a spot to cue.
I think you could use a marker on the tape without messing up the magnetism or place a dot on the edge. Switching reels would be pretty difficult so you would pre-record the reel for the set, losing the possibility to improvise on selections. Also takes a lot of time to seek to a position. Still very cool.
You can watch the entire 91 worlds eliminations on you tube, it’s been on there for like a year or so. I’ve been waiting for years for someone to post it :-)
Back in the 70's ... many people don't know but DJing with Reels was very common. I used two Pioneer 707 reel to reel, and a Bozak DJ Mixer on my DJ setup with the Bose 901 speakers and I DJ'ed in just about every high school dance in Miami. It was so much fun.
@@andrewlee88 Yes I had two setups. One had the two Pioneer 707s plus a Bozak DJ mixer while the other had two Pioneer 909s and a GLI DJ mixer. For power I was using the Pioneer Spec 2 Linear Amp powering my Bose 901 speakers. Later I added Gerrard turntables which were the equivalent of the Technics 1200 turntables before they came out. Companies like Numark were not even born yet. The DJ choice of equipment was Pioneer 707s or 909s for Reels, Garrard DD450 or Technics 1800 turntables, Bozak or GLI mixers, Crown, Carver, Marantz or Pioneer amps and finally for speakers, GLI, Bose 901, Altec Lansing or EV Sentry speakers. And we had lots of fun.
Охереть ,впервые вообще вижу , что в те годы так миксовали и делали скретчи на оборудовании 80-х годов , на бобинах . Это удивительно и было открытием для меня.
this... this is incredible. even though he went off beat at a couple points, this is absolutely ridiculous, the timing, the work, the patience, the innovation, the creativity, the passion, this is incredible
I think this is the Original DJ, because they put a lot improvisation at all time so they didn't stuck at the same beat. Although, they didn't have the auto-sync technology so everything are full manual here.
As a child/teenager, I had two Technics tape decks, and I installed a speed controller on each tape deck to adjust the speed. I used the reel (tape) to record, alternately (on the tape decks) I wound very quickly forwards or backwards (depending on which track I wanted to have next), and I adjusted the speed on the self-made speed controllers. Those were my first DJ attempts. When I had the money I bought 2 Technics 1210 mk2. :) (Sorry for my English)
At that time there was no Record shops in Latvia (former soviet union) where you could buy vinyls with fresh dance music. Music was "imported" and copied "illegally" tru various sorces. Only way to for western dance/club music to spred was by copying it from reel to reel. Guys modified their equipment, added variable speed option to be able to beatmach tracks and so on. Those guys was true pioneers of "modern" djing at that time and place where they builded their own sound systems, orginize parties, and bringed "western" club club culture behind "iron curtain"... Yung generation never will understand these because everything are already "done" for them where "dj´ing" in nowdays became like another consumer form of "expression" where ready products and services are sold for "wannabee" generation...
I certainly don’t take for granted what we have these days. As easy as it may be to buy DJ equipment , it’s just as easy to suck at it, no matter what piece of gear you buy.
Holy SH-T that is hands down amazing the time and effort he put into that routine is mind boggling. Today with all the digital technology to see this just wow!
25 years of DJing and never heard of reel mixing! When I first started experimenting with a mixer I had a portable tape cassette and a portable CD player going into an ancient "Realistic" brand mixer. Not so good times, but good memories of finding tracks that could blend still!! Mr Tape is a whole other level! ♥️
People still do it. Kerri Chandler does whole sets on reel to reel, he's been doing it for years, uses 4 I think, some of his sets are on YT. And Greg Wilson has a reel to reel alongside his turntables that he uses to play samples and stuff off of.
@@adamoliver82 absolute madness! Thank you for the additional names as I hadn't heard of them before (obviously!). I'll be checking that sh*t out for sure, and leave a comment that @boa sent me! Thank you 🤗
eso si es un verdadero arte , este joven Dj se merece un reconocimiento , en estos tiempos es facil con la tecnologia que existe, quien mas lo esta viendo en Nov 2022
Это наивысший пилотаж ди джеинга.Кстати известный в своё время трек Мистера Малого "Буду погибать молодым " был со скрэтчами с бобинников.Точно не помню,но по-моему и весь аранжир на бобинниках построили.
I had a varispeed Walkman (well. It had a tiny hole in the back and one day I took it apart to find out what it was. Tured out there was a slot in a component on the circuit board to fine tune the speed). I used to speed up tracks on the tape player Walkman with a tiny screwdriver snd get the beats in time with my non varispeed record deck. This was when I was about 13. I'm 48 now and still mixing.
My first experiments in production involved isolating a few seconds of breaks or fx and combining them on an old 4-track reel-to-reel, with "scratching" done on a Fisher-Price record player. Great way to get a physical feel for sound manipulation. Sometimes the best tool is the one at hand, as we say in photography.
Craziest mixing I've ever seen! Thank you for posting this! Old school never dies! Still bumping public enemy in my iroc and still bumping 12s and 1000 watt Amp with pioneer deck! West side!
Я в шоке!)) Это просто невероятное видео!)) Миксовать, скрейчить и всё такое, и это на катушках!!!)) Кстати мне это видео объяснило музыкальные спецэффекты группы Мальчишник 90-х годов)))
Absolutely incredible! Nowadays kids have the most phenomenal digital technology on the planet yet they still can't pull something off as amazing and captivating as this.
Mate. It sounds like shit lmao. I have heard way better mixes of today than this. It perhaps was impressive of it's time, but it's time for you to stop these nostalgic delusions, fine you can enjoy it, but it just doesn't compare to today's standards.
I’m a Music Prod/ Dj who uses sync and all this “digital technology” I can assure you that technology gives me LOTS of time to do more important fun things besides Beatmatching, and you can not call me less skilled than old school dj’s who beatmatch. I focus on extremely intense buildups, bass swaps, voice swaps, and I barely if ever let the track play alone. 95% of my mixing is live mashups, and that is an art in itself. Look up James Hype. Yeah we might sync, but this allows us to pretty much produce new songs, never heard before, live before our audience. It’s a completely different thing. I highly respect the video and I would like for the hate against modern tech house dj’s to stop because we focus on different things. Amazing and Captivating are subjective matters. As a Tech House dj I care about how hard can I make the next song drop. It’s all about target audience. And don’t start me on “oh you use sync you’re not talented” cause I play classical Piano and got my Music High school Diploma (Abitur in Germany) age 13 playing the original Rhapsody in Blue by Gerschwin. But god damn I do enjoy myself a hard, nasty Techno drop.
@@regulatedfreestylevideos nah, just had enough of y'all hatin' on modern dj's. I guess let's agree to disagree and leave it to that. I couldn't enjoy that kind of music, and you couldn't enjoy mine. Peace
I used to chop up cassettes to make loops and mix cassettes together by slowing down the spindles before I could afford decks. Gotta use what you got, and the effort and creativity he's using ( 40 odd years ago remember) would leave these button pushers for dead.
Не, бро, ты ошибаешься что для того времени это просто талантливо, тернтэйблеров всегда считали сумасшедшими задротами и роботами, даже тогда. Именно по этому в этой культуре не так много имен, знаменитых тернтэйбл диджеев по пальцам пересчитать (утрирую). Может ты еще не предал значения, но этот чувак делает яд на ПЛЕНОЧНЫХ бобинах, а не на виниловом блине. Не уверен, что людей делающих драмчик и хопчик на пленках было много и в то время.
Виктор виктор не везде и не всегда, очнись. Ещё скажи что пацаны в Нидерландах в 80х на винили крутили не говоря уже о странах южной Америки. Так что не трынди знаток)
Всем ни хау. Я вшоке даже я незнал что так можно. за 34 года вижу это в первый раз и это круто. Всё качаю трек П.С. И тут можно сказать. Как тебе такое Илон Маск :)
I remember my first turntables which were belt drives! I then upgraded to direct drive but found mixing so easy that I switched back to belts, just felt more fun and challenging to keep the mix going with belts
Watched this & remembered what the art form is about… feeling, experimenting, taking risks, having fun, spreading positive energy - practiced the entire day - so thanks for uploading this vid!!!
You know what I find most sad? That this video had got under 60k views in 9 days but some spoiled kid "mixing" through an app with no effort required, will have 60M views in 9 days. What youre watching here requires tremendous skill. Trust me!
This is effing GOLD! Where has this recording been hidden. This is pure treasure. WE NEED TO SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD SO THAT THE HIP HOP WORLD CAN SEE ONE OF THE VERY IMPORTANT BRANCHES THAT THEY EVOLVED FROM!!!! Is this genius still alive. OMG i bet some modern day DJ's would like to sit and chat with this guy. His skill level, how did he remember where all the tracks and samples were on the reel so as to be used at tye flick of a switch or the rotation of a wheel ALL in rhythm and at the correct beat/8count. . . Do you guys have any idea!!! Only a real DJ could even start to appreciate this guys skill level. Never mind the fact that his equipment had to be known inside and out. Experimented on and adapted and improved and fine tuned. GOSH. Thank you for sharing this, i never knew it was possible, let alone that it actually existed. I would not have believed you had i not seen it. TGC Blessings:)
I went to school for audio engineering and I remember when my professor showed us tape..... I swear I lost it and realized how much difficult the music process was back then. I promise you I would have ripped my hair out LMAOOO. This performance was amazing.
My deepest respect goes out to all the ppl who spend their time in making djing the thing it is now, who took it to another level! Then and now! I was never blessed with the necessary skills and i never will be. But its always nice to see where it all started and where its going to be. And this evolution is just fascinating!
Genres like goa-trance were made for reel-mixing because DJing on the beaches of India would melt your vinyl records. So there wasn't any precise beatmatching required because songs started and ended with atmospheric soundscapes that avoided harmonies or musicality.
No sync, no attached tempo , no mixer, no headphone just the skill : RESPECT
Song out of time? Give the tape a smack!
what skill? this is shit xD i see dj are people without any skills.
Tem leite com pera falando merda!
Dizamnnnnn!!!! ❤️🔥🔥🔥
They reel players have variable tempo
I think sometimes people forget, with all the computer-enhanced equipment, equalizers, tuners, Auto-correctors, and Auto-loopers, that the art of DJ'ing was not about being perfectly on beat or having the loudest, cleanest tracks. It was about expression through the use of sampling from other artists and splicing them together in a way that had never been done before. It would be the equivalent of using stencils for spraypaint art, which is now highly regarded as a legitimate form of artwork. Sure, he's not the best. Sure he looks a little goofy. But can we take a moment and recognize that this man did something that most of us never even conceived possible and made it work!? Respect your Elders.

аж олдскулы свело помню сводил на кассетах )) чтоб можно было регулировать скорость вывел резистор регулировки лентопротяжки на удобную крутилку
Превосходно!!! Старая школа рулит ⚡
As a child/teenager, I had two Technics tape decks, and I installed a speed controller on each tape deck to adjust the speed. I used the reel (tape) to record, alternately (on the tape decks) I wound very quickly forwards or backwards (depending on which track I wanted to have next), and I adjusted the speed on the self-made speed controllers. Those were my first DJ attempts. When I had the money I bought 2 Technics 1210 mk2. :) (Sorry for my English)
How did you make the speed controller?
At that time there was no Record shops in Latvia (former soviet union) where you could buy vinyls with fresh dance music.
Music was "imported" and copied "illegally" tru various sorces.
Only way to for western dance/club music to spred was by copying it from reel to reel. Guys modified their equipment, added variable speed option to be able to beatmach tracks and so on. Those guys was true pioneers of "modern" djing at that time and place where they builded their own sound systems, orginize parties, and bringed "western" club club culture behind "iron curtain"...
Yung generation never will understand these because everything are already "done" for them where "dj´ing" in nowdays became like another consumer form of "expression" where ready products and services are sold for "wannabee" generation...
I certainly don’t take for granted what we have these days. As easy as it may be to buy DJ equipment , it’s just as easy to suck at it, no matter what piece of gear you buy.
There's talent in every generation, and with every generation, there's a generation forgotten. It's just the cycle.

25 years of DJing and never heard of reel mixing!
When I first started experimenting with a mixer I had a portable tape cassette and a portable CD player going into an ancient "Realistic" brand mixer.
Not so good times, but good memories of finding tracks that could blend still!!
Mr Tape is a whole other level! ♥️
People still do it. Kerri Chandler does whole sets on reel to reel, he's been doing it for years, uses 4 I think, some of his sets are on YT. And Greg Wilson has a reel to reel alongside his turntables that he uses to play samples and stuff off of.
@@adamoliver82 absolute madness!
Thank you for the additional names as I hadn't heard of them before (obviously!). I'll be checking that sh*t out for sure, and leave a comment that @boa sent me!
Thank you 🤗
because youre a rookie!

I also started out with a Realistic Mixer 🙌🏻❤️
eso si es un verdadero arte , este joven Dj se merece un reconocimiento , en estos tiempos es facil con la tecnologia que existe, quien mas lo esta viendo en Nov 2022
Почему Я его вижу первый раз за всю жизнь??? 🤯 Эй крутые диджеи попробуйте замутите такое😀

Это наивысший пилотаж ди джеинга.Кстати известный в своё время трек Мистера Малого "Буду погибать молодым " был со скрэтчами с бобинников.Точно не помню,но по-моему и весь аранжир на бобинниках построили.
Мистер Малой это круто конечно, но за него все делала другая популярная группа. Забыл кто, старею )

This is probably 5 times harder to life mix than from vinyls! Never seen anyone doing that. Impressive!!
While Ivan Drago was fighting Sly, his younger brother was tearing up the club. Legendary!
I was reading through the comments to see if anyone was going to say something about Drago lol
@Hunnid P foreal! Haha
I had a varispeed Walkman (well. It had a tiny hole in the back and one day I took it apart to find out what it was. Tured out there was a slot in a component on the circuit board to fine tune the speed). I used to speed up tracks on the tape player Walkman with a tiny screwdriver snd get the beats in time with my non varispeed record deck. This was when I was about 13. I'm 48 now and still mixing.
I've been using reel to reels for over 40 yrs for editing all my mixed and I gotta say this is pure old skool. Love it
Круче этого только диджеинг на перфокартах!
Ещё олдовей и мощнее на глиняных табличках )))))
ДиДжей Хеопс Лайв ))))
Simply OUTRAGEOUS!!!
My first experiments in production involved isolating a few seconds of breaks or fx and combining them on an old 4-track reel-to-reel, with "scratching" done on a Fisher-Price record player. Great way to get a physical feel for sound manipulation. Sometimes the best tool is the one at hand, as we say in photography.
Yep, same here.. Fisher-price in the house🤙
Craziest mixing I've ever seen! Thank you for posting this! Old school never dies! Still bumping public enemy in my iroc and still bumping 12s and 1000 watt Amp with pioneer deck! West side!
As a rookie dj, I have nothing but respect for these classics. All manual, all skill.
This is the James Hype of the 90s ..... Real creativity

If I don't see this performance I can't belive it.
It's just WOOOOOOW!
The reels and the guy in the totaly harmony!
Absolutely incredible! Nowadays kids have the most phenomenal digital technology on the planet yet they still can't pull something off as amazing and captivating as this.
Mate. It sounds like shit lmao. I have heard way better mixes of today than this. It perhaps was impressive of it's time, but it's time for you to stop these nostalgic delusions, fine you can enjoy it, but it just doesn't compare to today's standards.
I’m a Music Prod/ Dj who uses sync and all this “digital technology” I can assure you that technology gives me LOTS of time to do more important fun things besides Beatmatching, and you can not call me less skilled than old school dj’s who beatmatch. I focus on extremely intense buildups, bass swaps, voice swaps, and I barely if ever let the track play alone. 95% of my mixing is live mashups, and that is an art in itself. Look up James Hype. Yeah we might sync, but this allows us to pretty much produce new songs, never heard before, live before our audience. It’s a completely different thing. I highly respect the video and I would like for the hate against modern tech house dj’s to stop because we focus on different things. Amazing and Captivating are subjective matters. As a Tech House dj I care about how hard can I make the next song drop. It’s all about target audience. And don’t start me on “oh you use sync you’re not talented” cause I play classical Piano and got my Music High school Diploma (Abitur in Germany) age 13 playing the original Rhapsody in Blue by Gerschwin. But god damn I do enjoy myself a hard, nasty Techno drop.

Primeira vez que vejo isso ! Sensacional !! O cara elevou o scratch a outro nível!
I used to chop up cassettes to make loops and mix cassettes together by slowing down the spindles before I could afford decks. Gotta use what you got, and the effort and creativity he's using ( 40 odd years ago remember) would leave these button pushers for dead.
People don't know, that's real hip hop, that's bee bop, don't stop.
The pioneers of DJing were people who really thought outside the box
That's anywhere
Even those music alone are hard to collect those days for sure. 😍😍😍
damn, this was some real OG stuff we just witnessed.
Да, для своего времени это просто талантливо. Сейчас посмотришь как эти типа опа диджей работают мышкой....
В плеере жмут "Play"
Для какого своего времени это только у нас такое возможно везде всегда винил использовали
Не, бро, ты ошибаешься что для того времени это просто талантливо, тернтэйблеров всегда считали сумасшедшими задротами и роботами, даже тогда. Именно по этому в этой культуре не так много имен, знаменитых тернтэйбл диджеев по пальцам пересчитать (утрирую). Может ты еще не предал значения, но этот чувак делает яд на ПЛЕНОЧНЫХ бобинах, а не на виниловом блине. Не уверен, что людей делающих драмчик и хопчик на пленках было много и в то время.
В начале ролика MR.TAPE USSR 🚩👏
Виктор виктор не везде и не всегда, очнись. Ещё скажи что пацаны в Нидерландах в 80х на винили крутили не говоря уже о странах южной Америки. Так что не трынди знаток)
I had heard about this in a documentary. Respect for ingenuity and making it fun. I always love seeing an artist enjoy their craft.
Wow, this is something I couldn't even imagine being possible. Something out of this world. That's what I call *Think outside the box*

I remember my first turntables which were belt drives! I then upgraded to direct drive but found mixing so easy that I switched back to belts, just felt more fun and challenging to keep the mix going with belts
Watched this & remembered what the art form is about… feeling, experimenting, taking risks, having fun, spreading positive energy - practiced the entire day - so thanks for uploading this vid!!!
Просто шедеврально на тот момент когда снято, для тех лет. Красава!

Is this genius still alive. OMG i bet some modern day DJ's would like to sit and chat with this guy.
His skill level, how did he remember where all the tracks and samples were on the reel so as to be used at tye flick of a switch or the rotation of a wheel ALL in rhythm and at the correct beat/8count. . .
Do you guys have any idea!!! Only a real DJ could even start to appreciate this guys skill level.
Never mind the fact that his equipment had to be known inside and out. Experimented on and adapted and improved and fine tuned.
GOSH.
Thank you for sharing this, i never knew it was possible, let alone that it actually existed. I would not have believed you had i not seen it.

I went to school for audio engineering and I remember when my professor showed us tape..... I swear I lost it and realized how much difficult the music process was back then. I promise you I would have ripped my hair out LMAOOO. This performance was amazing.
Since there's no headphones or cueing it's so raw and inside his mind making the beats, truly a unique experience.
Me gustaría ver a los dj de ahora, haciendo esas maravillas esto es el auténtico amor por la música.

Esto es un DJ , no la basura que hacen ahora , todo grabado , y un solo botón ✋
dj's nowadays: *grabs phone, plays a playlist on repeat, pretends he's doing something and goes home*
My deepest respect goes out to all the ppl who spend their time in making djing the thing it is now, who took it to another level! Then and now! I was never blessed with the necessary skills and i never will be. But its always nice to see where it all started and where its going to be. And this evolution is just fascinating!
I forget exactly how the quote goes but talent doesn't exist, talent is just thousands of hours of practice

Mr Tape from Russia - это все что нужно знать
Genres like goa-trance were made for reel-mixing because DJing on the beaches of India would melt your vinyl records. So there wasn't any precise beatmatching required because songs started and ended with atmospheric soundscapes that avoided harmonies or musicality.
Not many would understand this. But I did 😂😂😂😂😂 genius
