20 years Later this is the pinnacle of turntablism . Nothing since has come remotely close and don’t think it ever will. Simply the greatest performance ever .
I rewatch this every year or so. It’s one of those performances that keeps getting better throughout the routine. Absolute master class, I’ve never seen anything close to this level. Kentaro is a legend.
when i saw this one for the first time, i felt like: damn, this is how a dj set has to be done. it seems to be impossible to do something like that. there aint a second that is wasted.. it is a set that shows 100% skill. ive seen a lot of dj sets, but this one belongs to one of the craziest and best sets ive ever seen. respect this guy for this set!
What I really like about this set as opposed to others is that it’s actually music. Some of the turntableists are technically great but they don’t have a musical or melodic flow. This shit is just next level.
This…. You can just listen to audio only and it’s basically like a single track all composed in two turntables… Definitely the greatest DMC Set of all time!
i remember the goose bumps and awe i felt when i watched this 15 years ago. I still refer to this set when "kids" talk about DJ'ing ... this is masterclass skills still in 2019 and do you see a laptop anywhere, NO YOU DONT!! This is putting little stickers on where to place that needle. Dedication, practice, beat matching .... JUST GOD DAMN SKILLS! To all those who are discovering this for the first time, enjoy!
Vinyl世代のDMCでは世界最高峰ルーティーン!Kentaroさんのご意見どおり、DMCにVinyl部門を創設すべき!ハウスのパートに入った後のイコライザーを交えたジャグリングで針飛び！しかし見事にリカバリ～後半のReggaeへのビート＆メロディーチェンジはジャッジも鳥肌！ In the vinyl generation DMC, the world's highest routine! According to Kentaro's opinion, a vinyl section should be created in the DMC! Juggling with an equalizer after entering the house part makes a needle jump! However, the recovery and the beat and melody change to Reggae in the latter half of the season were wonderfully judged by the judges!
is it just me or its like 9 nearly 10 years ago this set was produced and people visit and comment every hour still, got to go down as one of the best ever
@MrRuffnecks Have to agree with you there, this is easily the best set i've heard. It never fails to convert a skeptic into a believer! The problem with most technically gifted DJs is they focus too much on showing off their technical ability (almost as if they're trying too hard to prove a point?) and neglect the artistic side. Kentaro maintains a vibe throughout the whole set... And he makes the technical stuff look like childs play. That's a true professional.
Ahh the good old days.. No shit I genuinely went to colledge back in 2003 for a subject called dj techniques and music production, Spent a year learning how to mix and scratch, legit one of my final tests was to produce a scratch mictape for my lecturer.. Used to study watching this shit all the time.. My fav was kentaros shuriken cut.. That blew my mind all the time..
DJ Kentaro is one of the best Djs in the world......In my eyes he is a legend & this is one of the best scratch routines i have heard. Djs should learn from this guys.
Your comment has been moderated by the Dislike This Video If You Dare Authority, and it has been determined that there is no cause for dispatching an Agent to your location at this time. Happy listening 😅
best MC comment ever-"What the fuck!" sums it up perfectly-the best ever-I personally really like DJ rectangle from the USA champs in 93(it's on YT) but this guy is the all time best IMO
i agree i have this video as well and Kentaro just straightout set himself apart from everyone else with this set .. and probably one of the best set i've ever heard from any DMC battles .. mad props ..
He toured the uk that year he won this dmc. I worked in Manchester at the time for a club called Sankeys soap. I have a polariod of me and him at an after party somewhere. They were great days. Great music, social interactions, no social media or phones interupting real human connection.
yes sir...you're right it did skip at 2.24 and he reset and executed his original intention perfectly. skip proof my arse! the best dmc set to date!!!!!!
@@produKtNZ 🤣🤣🤣 just saw your comment after I commented. Hilarious! No telling how many hundreds (literally!) of times I’ve watched this video. Used to have it on freaking VHS! But I never saw this comment until just now. If I had, I definitely would’ve commented already!! 🤣💯
The thing I like about Kentaro compared to other turntablists/battle DJs is that he doesn't just have crazy skills, it also sounds great and you can still dance to it. He has a great ear for good music.
it skipped for a secon but caught it, i have this full vid and kentaro killed the competition that night. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was off the hook at the award ceremony. either or seen a lot of dmc competitons... this is probably one of the best sets ever. hands down!!
I am a techno DJ but play and appreciate all styles of music, I would never be as ignorant to judge another artist or dj, and besides I have seen and met the best there is so I know whats what, Kentaro, is awesome also. Euromk1s you need a lobotomy reversal.... DJ Proton
i can't get tireddd of this no matter what LOL i think i've watched this a bazillion times already (and not just today but a course of many months loooool )
And with this, he became world champ in '02. Perhaps the most CREATIVE set I have seen of all of them: P-Trix, Craze, A-Trak, etc. He does not scratch much, though.
kentaro is fukin sick. i have this whole video and kentaro killed the competition. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was fukin dope that night. probably one of the best sets put together in dmc competition!!
lol best scratch dj q-bert is bt ketaro the best tuntablist yet, his rythms unbelieable no1 plays a turtablist set lyk him, lyk a mix dj... by far the best
Thanks for the reply. I don't think gunmansole understands what skipless vinyl is. This is a great set that should only be applauded for its innovativeness and difficulty level.
20 years Later this is the pinnacle of turntablism . Nothing since has come remotely close and don’t think it ever will. Simply the greatest performance ever .
It went downhill from here 😔
This is still one of my most watched DMC routines
On REAL VINYL at that!
I rewatch this every year or so. It’s one of those performances that keeps getting better throughout the routine.
Absolute master class, I’ve never seen anything close to this level. Kentaro is a legend.
@@bossmanfucktheworldall the good djs still scared to enter just incase he does again 😂😂😂
Who the fuck can dislike 6 minutes of a genius of Djing performing??
One of the best winning sessions of DMC history.
Music Radar Clan baia baia... qué tenemos aquí? Jajaja, grandísimo contenido el que haces, sigue así.
Buenísimo, lo vi gracias a tu link el dejado hoy. Saludos, desde Chile.
YEAH WHO THE FUCK COULD DISLIKE THIS.
gran recomendación
he is untuned
@@alansigrist2026 your face is untuned😎
Best routine in the history of DMC his accuracy is amazing.
when i saw this one for the first time, i felt like: damn, this is how a dj set has to be done.

He won with this one in 2002. It is one of the best performances I have ever seen at DMC finals. Kentaro is incredible.
Agreed. His 2001 set with that disc with all the tape on it is nothing to be ashamed of either though!
What I really like about this set as opposed to others is that it’s actually music. Some of the turntableists are technically great but they don’t have a musical or melodic flow. This shit is just next level.
This…. You can just listen to audio only and it’s basically like a single track all composed in two turntables…

見事、Yukichiさんや他の日本人の方がぶちかましてくれましたね。
あの部門の今後にも期待です。
Maybe the best DMC Final set ever?
Yes.
何度見ても邪馬台国で笑う
This is my favorite set of all time
You ned to see more routines
Me too. The combinations, pure skills, and creativity are kinda mind blowing. The announcer was pretty accurate!
or his 2001 set. I can' decide... :)
more creativity in 6 minutes than martin garrix in his 2h set
more creativity than martin garrix in his whole job .
more creativity than in all tomorrowland dj's together
more creativity than all EDM djs from past, present and future.
This was pre James hype days 😂😂😂😂 when that fool says he most “risky” dj on earth I send him this video
当時バトルDJがいなかった仙台からよくこんな世界一のDJが誕生したもんだ
is it just me or its like 9 nearly 10 years ago this set was produced and people visit and comment every hour still, got to go down as one of the best ever
Track 2:00 - GTS feat Loleatta Holloway - Jason Jinx Dub After 10yr seaching...i found! Kentaro is the best!
Five years that I try the title. I LOVE YOU
hi Danilo ! you are cool man! thanks im also cant find this track. you make a big help by this comment. thank you bro.

It's 2019, this is still my absolute favorite set.
By far the most creative DMC set by any DJ by far
100%, the whole thing is breaks. It’s unreal
Ahh the good old days.. No shit I genuinely went to colledge back in 2003 for a subject called dj techniques and music production, Spent a year learning how to mix and scratch, legit one of my final tests was to produce a scratch mictape for my lecturer.. Used to study watching this shit all the time.. My fav was kentaros shuriken cut.. That blew my mind all the time..
I miss DMC's being super creative like this.
never gets old..this was the greatest dmc ever imho
DJ Kentaro is one of the best Djs in the world......In my eyes he is a legend & this is one of the best scratch routines i have heard. Djs should learn from this guys.
何度観てもすごいとしか言いようがない。。
this is real DJ..
Only perfect score ever achieved in DMC history, and today is januray 2012. this guy is a legend.
Bombastic comment pull
with out a doubt the best and most original DJ ever
Awesome how he loses it a bit at 2:22 and still fixes it and makes it sound dope AF. Crazy skills
yep, record skipped, and messed up 4/4 beat... but he recovered like a boss :D
I don't care what anyone says, This is the best set ever!!! Funny, First time i have seen a video with zero dislikes, how can anyone
dislike this.

this is so amazing, he's using the turntables like instruments, a true artist.
Turntables are percussive instruments
Legendary DJ set.
何度見ても気持ちいい！最高！
Undoubtedly you are the best in the world of all time.
Without doubt, I am your fan!

best MC comment ever-"What the fuck!" sums it up perfectly-the best ever-I personally really like DJ rectangle from the USA champs in 93(it's on YT) but this guy is the all time best IMO
That set from Rectangle is mental. When he picks up the deck and starts shaking it. The nutz!
@@JamesBrewerDJ my comment may be 6 years old but the rectangle set is as good as ever lol
@@swfcocs1 Lol, I just finished re-watching Rectangle at '93 US DMC. Gets me every time. Must have watched it 100 times.
You must have heard the "DJ Qbert in Paris - Turntable Drumming". That is off the scale
I haven't watched this in about three years.....listened to it all again and still got goose bumps. The shit he does is mental!
Easily my favourite DMC set. Just genius
You Are One Unbelievable DJ..... I believe you we're born to do this.... all the imagination and combination styles..... Keep Up The Good Work.......
fucking legend! time flies
And here we have a piece of history, in 6 min.
i agree i have this video as well and Kentaro just straightout set himself apart from everyone else with this set .. and probably one of the best set i've ever heard from any DMC battles .. mad props ..

They were great days. Great music, social interactions, no social media or phones interupting real human connection.
DJ Kentaro live is awesome. He can keep going like this for hours
4:00 I can't even comprehend that, holy shit.
When I think about turntablism I always come back to this one, legendary
His set reminds me of those Benami Beatmania games that I used to play in the arcade in and in The Playstation.
yes sir...you're right it did skip at 2.24
and he reset and executed his original intention perfectly. skip proof my arse!
the best dmc set to date!!!!!!
One of the greatest sets in history
Haha does the MC's voice break at 5 seconds?
Aft6er 14 years and no-one has replied =_=
This was the final set - i'd be a bit rough around the edges too :)
Been loving that part for over 20 years!! 🤣❤️💯

And his “WTF!” right after Kentaro finished. 🥇💯
@@austinmonroe3894 welcome back then ☺️
Oh man, this set is so sick. I just love how he incorporates and meshes those genres.
Wow goosebumps all over my body, this is genius!!!
Kentaro is off the chain! All his stuff is insane!
The thing I like about Kentaro compared to other turntablists/battle DJs is that he doesn't just have crazy skills, it also sounds great and you can still dance to it. He has a great ear for good music.
So clean.. sounds like an actual full on track!
Who's still listening?
Kneesocks77 R u still listening?
Kentaro = one of my fav Djs. Killed it!! set was from 2002 and I still bug out today when i see this set.
still one of the gratest juggler i've seen
I love the bit where he’s juggling with the turntable motors off, sounds so good 😎
it skipped for a secon but caught it, i have this full vid and kentaro killed the competition that night. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was off the hook at the award ceremony. either or seen a lot of dmc competitons... this is probably one of the best sets ever. hands down!!
16 years on and it’s still top drawer quality
Yep
I love retro things🥺
To all those push button DJ's - THIS IS TRUE TURNTABLISM.
2022 and still makes goosebumps
unbelievable this guy lyk, by far the best turntablist to date..... say no more
3:40 - how does he come up with that crap??! UNREAL! this guy is pure talent
love kentaro man...very innovative turntable choreography...true champion
awesome .. real awesome great
thx. for share this
"One of the greatest sets of all time. " Say it out loud and proud.
Best 6 mins ever beat the lot.
This man is really the king of the decks!!
Lovin From 5.00 till the end!!
I am a techno DJ but play and appreciate all styles of music, I would never be as ignorant to judge another artist or dj, and besides I have seen and met the best there is so I know whats what, Kentaro, is awesome also.
Euromk1s you need a lobotomy reversal....
DJ Proton
This set is awesome!
I love the bit where he juggles with the turntables motors off, so good 😊
何度見てもすげぇ!すげぇの一言。
i can't get tireddd of this
no matter what LOL i think i've watched this a bazillion times already
(and not just today but a course of many months loooool )
Best DMC Set ever!
Brilliant set. He was a solid third in 2001 then came back & killed it that year.
I like him more because
He's retro
And have some melodic nature in him
I've watched all the champion set after 2002 and still no one matched this set
I think it's unbelivble
This was truly life changing
The greatest Dj performance of all time!
still amazing 15 yrs later
What ever happened to all the greats of this era, they all seemed to have disappeared and left the music world😢
my favourite set of all time. this changed the game.. probs not for the best but it was revolutionary
not for the best?
何回も見てしまいます
that was one of, if not, the sickest set I've seen at the DMC .. nearly flawless and simply put ... amazing .. Kentaro wins .... FATALITY :)
And with this, he became world champ in '02. Perhaps the most CREATIVE set I have seen of all of them: P-Trix, Craze, A-Trak, etc. He does not scratch much, though.
Why do i always end up coming back and watching the vid ? answer because its awesome!
いつ観ても鳥肌たつわ
he is my favorite so far!!!
kentaro is fukin sick. i have this whole video and kentaro killed the competition. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was fukin dope that night. probably one of the best sets put together in dmc competition!!
そうそう見たかったのはこういうのなんだよー
lol best scratch dj q-bert is bt ketaro the best tuntablist yet, his rythms unbelieable no1 plays a turtablist set lyk him, lyk a mix dj... by far the best
arguable that he won 2001 also. That was also an amazing routine.
bomboclat from jamaica
big uo dj kentaro
He is real DMC champion !
Till this day ! Stilll a banger routine to come with!
Best set ever
AWESOME MIX... ithink it has some of smooth hip-hop, minimal, techno and house
So coordinated and composed
What is the first beat that comes up at 0:32 after “Style”? Love this set so much
Thanks for the reply. I don't think gunmansole understands what skipless vinyl is. This is a great set that should only be applauded for its innovativeness and difficulty level.
