This, in my opinion, is the only like REAL worthy submission to this otherwise joke of a battle and what tablists and DMC probably envisioned the level of competition to be like. I'm extremely happy that this competition may get serious. Vajra is winning so far.
Vajra actually has the skills to use the digital tools and take things to the highest level..and it was only a matter of time before dmc allowed this..get over it..an online dj compitition is fucking dope! how can you be mad at this? Big ups Vajra!
that was a damn proper throwdown if I've ever seen one...no wonder you're winning regionals there Vajra, you got your skills on lock! much respect and best of luck in the future, although you should have little difficulty slaying anyone that doesn't come ready to fuckin battle !!
Wow!!! So dope! I love this, I actually really liked how Vajra incorporated the technology in a fresh and skilled way, I think since Serato is allowed people should be pushing the limits of that technology! And no one is close to even touching Vajra on those kuts and juggles!
@tableturns77 What experience do you have? What sets have you uploaded? Going digital opens up so many doors of expression and creation. Yeah sure... Vajra doesnt have to pick up the needle and set it down on a certain groove to cue/sample something. All he needs to do is hit a button. It makes you wonder what new things people are going to come up with. Is dj'ing or turntablism about creativity/innovation or is it about "keeping it real"
@tableturns77 I've been dj'ing for 10 years.... music on vinyl is music on vinyl... also i do agree that original vinyls DO sound better only because it has personality.... though i reserve that for chill sessions.... during a scratch routine??? Couldnt tell the difference...
@tableturns77 Exactly, it's taking it to another level, which is where everything goes eventually. Progression, evolution, whatever you wanna call it. It's inevitable.
@TheWavetwister you got a point wavetwister, i have lost interest in the battle scene now after watching it evolve for many years, but Vajra's been down since day one, and a lot of people could practise all their lives and not cut as smoothly as he does in those two minutes - good judges will hopefully recognise this and distinguish between technology/gimmicks and real skill and innovation...I'm happy that legends like vajra are still in the battle game and moving with technology..
its good but no where near the intensity of that 2004 dmc usa finals video. i like the digital stuff because it makes things more seamless, but at the same time it takes away from the nostalgia. the vinyl switching is a skill in it self, and when you get it down it makes for a very nice routine. Ive seen entire routines destroyed by the person not being quick enough or trying to be too quick and fumbling it, and you get that lingering on feeling. I'm always in the middle, i can't commit. lol
@djvajra You kidding? It'll never end it's like saying what's better allah or god depends on the perspective. Personally as a producer whilst creating sounds analogue is still better even though VSTs have increased in power significantly. You're stuff is wicked btw, good shit.
@Djratbeat -vajra and uncut in the finals,,,vajra all day, for those that disliked this vid, you all dont realiize the actual NEW SHIT brought to the table. this set aint as simple as it looked. its called knowing ur equipment.
Congrats on winning man I was there to see your performance it was amazing. USA!

Vajra is winning so far.
@TheWavetwister for the record, I won the Denver regional this year and am competing in the USA finals for the 5th time August 6th in NYC.
Vajra actually has the skills to use the digital tools and take things to the highest level..and it was only a matter of time before dmc allowed this..get over it..an online dj compitition is fucking dope! how can you be mad at this? Big ups Vajra!

Holy shit a DJ that actually looks like he's having fun!? I didn't know those exist anymore.
@fwancisBALENCHIA These are Technics SL 1210 MK5 G if I remember. They are very hard to find..
Now with the body tricks on top of the solid Vajra funk, I'd say it's yours in 2011!
what brand of turntables are those?
Insane, I would love to see Vajra and JFB go head to head. That shit would be an amazing battle.
with those skillz you can claim any battle wether your using digital or real vinyl...dope set man!!!
Congratulation homie. Well overdue!
@DjScout yes. im fully aware of who he is. he kills it. none of it was directed at him. just the direction of the scene in general
@djvajra Yeah but they were super tight and funky!
love this DJ.... sick style... :D

@tableturns77 I've been dj'ing for 10 years.... music on vinyl is music on vinyl... also i do agree that original vinyls DO sound better only because it has personality.... though i reserve that for chill sessions.... during a scratch routine??? Couldnt tell the difference...

the juggle is ok but that intro is crazy party shit!
@djvajra You kidding? It'll never end it's like saying what's better allah or god depends on the perspective. Personally as a producer whilst creating sounds analogue is still better even though VSTs have increased in power significantly. You're stuff is wicked btw, good shit.
@Djratbeat -vajra and uncut in the finals,,,vajra all day, for those that disliked this vid, you all dont realiize the actual NEW SHIT brought to the table. this set aint as simple as it looked. its called knowing ur equipment.
