  • "Rectangle - break it down, boy!" San Diego's immortal battle maestro DJ Rectangle (Scott Kluesner) wrecks shop at the DMC World Eliminations in January 1994, becoming one of only 3 solo performers (along with Germany's Shahin and Australia's KC) to make it to the team-dominated Finals that evening.

    This dude had balls.
    And used them to manipulate a cross fader.

    Scott Kluesner, original and skilled

    Yeah, love that. Superfast cueing with no headphones. Mix jumped out in the middle, he just re cued everything real quick and did it again. Also, actually creative and musical. So much of turntabilsm is just un listenable junk, just trying to cut stuff as quick as possible with no thought that it just becomes an awful annoying noise half the time.

    This is turntablism. Real skill and ingenuity. 2017 DJ's are nothing but computer button pressers with their pre-recorded routines.

      @baadbwoy4381 6 лет назад +12

      I agree. They've ruined turntablism. I remember when hip hop was in its infancy. Just to hear a cassette with a DJ scratching would blow your mind. I remember hearing a cassette with DJ Cheeses DMC winning performance on it...awesome.

      ChesterPerry187 I remember entering redbull Thre3style years ago and I was the only one actually loading my next tracks hahaha. I honestly didn’t know you could just pre make your set and load up 1 track per deck and call it a night.

    The father of custom vinyl, all my 1st battle records were by this guy, now I see why remember theres no curve control on these mixers we used broken of bits of lollipop sticks so we could not go past half way on the fader but still learn the basic scratches. What an inspiration 💯🎛🎚🎧👍

    I still think Sinista should've got through to the World Final. I think his juggles were a little to advanced for the judges back then. I remember they had Funkmaster Flex judging in New York! Has he ever performed a proper beat juggle himself before?

    • @MichaelShum
      @MichaelShum  6 лет назад +9

      i kinda prefer disk in that final -- he had too many skips, but the reactions of the judges and red alert are priceless

    • @chrisfargo9332
      @chrisfargo9332 5 лет назад +3

      It was very funny as the jury sat there and had no idea what was going on. There were a lot of tricks out there that nobody had ever heard of in a DMC event before. Funk Flex didn't do as much scratch in a month as Disk in those 6 minutes 😊
