I always come back to this video years later
I'm so glad this video still exists on the internet. After all these years this routine remains one of my favourites. Especially the beat juggling, mind blowing then, mind blowing now. Make me think about all those turntablist videos I'd collected years ago before RUclips was a common thing that are sitting on a long lost hard drive somewhere never to be found again. I regret not keeping all that now.
This is my favorite routine of DJ Vajra's. He won the World DMC championship today and I feel this is one the best routines he ever did. At 3 minutes and 50 secs, you see the real DJ Vajra, his personality and incredible talent. One of my inspirations. Well done brother. Congrats.
Watched this a lot over the last 15yrs.
Always cheers me up.🤗
One of the most precise sets I've heard and I can't believe this is 7 years old. This is one of my favourite ever DMC sets and would still beat most stuff being put out today. Good luck in US final and hopefully the worlds. Bring back the golds!
One of the earliest youtube videos i saw and i still remember this routine.
i grew up admiring this and im so glad its still up
Glad to see this vid is still up! Big Ups.
Still absolutely phenomenal!
This has to be one of the sheer greatest DJ performances of all time! Speed of Precision, drum scratches of Qbert, and works routines like Craze!
My favorite battle routine of all time. Vajra kills it.
Still blows my mind just as much as the first time I saw this. Absolutely legendary and always brings a smile to my face!
Watched this last night pissed and commented, watching again!
This is just so so so good, how this guy didn’t win in the mid 00s..it’s still proper next level!
I came back to this fantastic routine
Ive commented before on this vid, but watching it again made me appreciate it even more. GOTTA LOVE THAT VIDEO GAME SEQUENCE. Gotta give props to this SET.
yo vajra.. its like ive been watchin dj videos all day and dang... your sets are still like the sickest... off the wall!!!! man.. GET IT!!!
Hi Vajra, I'm with my bro DJ sick and we are completely crazy to listen to such clean scratches and pass pass routines. Thanks for that. You are the One. ;)
One of the best routines ive seen. Watched this hundreds of times and dont get bored.
Love the bit about 4.55 onwards. Absolutely mint the way he drops it out, cuts the left deck up to fuck and then just brings it back in like its nothing to do it. Mint mate.
+Paul Lewis My sentiments exactly.. this is one of my top 3 favorite sets of all time. watch it all the time.
fantastic!!!
Beyond amazing!
Best routine I've ever seen. Makes me wanna buy new fingers! Vajra, you know who it is, can't touch this!
2022 y aquí sigo, de mis favoritas de la historia.
Excellent ! I saw you with The Procussions but I didn't know you were so good... very impressive stuff !
Still just so good, we have gone through the producer era and are back at the real era again..I have no doubt this routine could have won various dmcs in the last five years again.
This is what people want to see , could you imagine rocking up without a dvs and busting this!
One of my all time favorite routines!!!! I really believe this set could/should have overtaken ieMerge if there wasn't the skip during the US finals.
Was that in DC?
Invencible!!! The best inspiration to start the day!
the whole set is just bombastic
I find it hard to pick a favourite turntablist but Vajra and Skratch Bastid are easily in my top 3. Always inspires me to hit the decks.
I showed my friend this video.........and he thought the video was sped up to make it appear that that this man had super-human speed. This guy is CRAZY FAST!!
@djvajra thanx sorry for asking you again, you answered this question 4 years ago but I wasn't "sick" 4 years ago thank you again
4:01 - the wave and smile before the scratch routine... sick!
best #realdjing routine ever!!!🌎🏆
Skills of a master. All DJs take note now please.
What an absolute BEAST Chris is! Machine!
i think you should've gotten first place man. this is such an awesome routine. i mean other than that dj david routine in '91 this is the best I've seen
very good routine man! respekt
man i love the last section of this routine
Still some of the best drumming ever, and routine.
Holy cow! Anyone that can get that sound outta that mixer deserves a nobel prize!
nice.........that drumming at the end was fire...Big Ups
Real DJ’s talk with their hands. Still one of the best!
one of my favorite routines>
every time i come back to this video i am blown away if i was a judge u would give 10s accross the board.. style, originality, scratching, beat juggling, drumming. i would rate all those a 10/10. those judges were out of their minds makin you only 3rd
love this ,no dvs and it still sounds better than nearly every modern routine
pretty amazing man
I can scratch, but this is another level., props!
that was amazing
holy jesus the drumming was just INTENSE!!!
seeeerious bigups!
Crazy, unreal. Killed it.
At 4.00 this mix took deadly rythym on!
just here to keep the comments alive! lol. This set never gets old.
i loved the part with Xevious in the beat!
Dope as hell.
The dude has some kick ass moves! Absolutely amazing!!!
So Sick!
hey chris,
i've been watching this for years...
will you talk about the scratch you begin with on the "game over" section?
it's something like 64th note rubs on the record and two clicks on the fader?
ahhhh!! haha love it bro hope all is well
+FirstAidKit0 my bad -- "high score" section haha
a man with talent n finesse..props
crazy man just crazy
A beast salute my g
One word... Awesomenessence.
Impressive !
Hi Vajra, Thanks for your invitation to check your vids. But Of course, I have already checked them several times. Tell us when you come in Europe !
It never getz old! I alwayz notice something I mizzed the last time cuz I waz mezzmorized by what he did a few secondz before! Super Sikk with a Cape!
ur skillz are sick dog awesome video
DOPE
@misu200692 it's "High Score" by the Nextmen
Hella nice Routine. Props.
Reason why u are DJ Qbert's fav DJ in the world.
what is the last recored your playin on tha left...the 1 your scrachting over???
well dayum
SICKER THAN SICK !!
I agree with most of you, he totally kicks ass and i think he should be a world champion. I think it's not about 6min that they give you for routine, the best one is best every day (on competition you may have skipping problems, nerves can eat you and other shit like this). I've seen this film about i don't know 80-90 or even 100 times and still didn't found anything like it.
hey can anyone tell me whats the record he uses around 2:00?
thx!
yeeeaaah boy
Oh My Goodness, that’s a bad ass Man!
how do we book this dude to remix a track!
represent
I love Xevious and turntables. Yes.
Best Routine I have ever seen, but what is the game sound tune ?
hello vajra i watch this routine since i start dj-ing about 3 years ago i gained a little skill and I really wish as other djs wish to scratch that video game beat can you help us? I know i ask a little much maybe that beat represent a part of you and you don;t want to share it.. I understand that PEACE from Romania!
Oohhh yeeaaah Im gonna put this on my profile
anyone know the song at 1:58?
Still pissed you weren't number 1 with this routine! -Beez
I know it samples the Xevious theme, but I don't know what the record is.
ur drumming destroys, definately one of the best drummers
Yo. What's the tune at 1:57?
what was the record at 1:25 ?
This is such a timeless set only the video quality and the wax give it away, so sick! it makes me sad to think that serato has removed a chunk of skill from the art. DOHS DRUMS DOE :O
OMFG!! DUDE THIS IS OFF THE HEAD!
classic routine...
yo vajra, just out of curiosity, what record are you using for the drumming at the end? peace!
-[Vekked]
WHAT IS THAT VIDEO GAME RECORD?!
And does any one have a higher quality version of this?
Siiiick routine.
THAT WAS FUCKIN SICK!!!!
I'd like to see a drumming/scratch battle between him,D Styles and Q bert !
Yo that was the illest shit i've heard and seen in a long time. Mad respect Vajra. Does anyone know what that beat was on 3:50?
ei what is the name of the track that you plays at 2'00''??thanks vajra and very dope routine!!!
damn awesome !
what is the song at 2:00 please ?
MrThugStylz It's Mark Ronson - "On The Run (ft. Mos Def & M.O.P.)"
+Broke It's the B-Side on the "oohwee" 12"
Netik has skills, but his sets sound like computers fucking. This is funky, well put together and tight as fuck. Drumming is sick!!!!
Dj Vajra killed this routine. He's mos defintitely comin up in the tablist world. Hit me up on Myspace Vajra. One- Dj Deuce
DJ Vajra, if you dont mind me asking, how long did it take you to put that routine together? And how long have you been practicing turntablism in total!?
Just curious. That is the sickest, most well rehersed routine I've ever seen. Bar none.
Well done mate.
this sounds better than the dmc recording which is clipping.
