@djfirstrate | 2009 Prague
This clip was filmed during a live show @us3official1 in Prague at Lucerna on April 14, 2009 — a moment that really captured how far turntablism can go. What you’re seeing isn’t just DJing, it’s pure musical expression. Turntables become instruments: scratching rhythms, bending sound, layering textures, creating melodies out of vinyl. It’s performance, precision, and creativity all at once — pushing the boundaries between DJ and musician.
From beat juggling to live remixing, from subtle textures to explosive solos, this is what happens when skill meets imagination. Hard to believe he’s stepped away from it — because moments like this show just how powerful and limitless turntablism can be.

1999 | The stage | The pressure | The vinyl
When The X-Ecutioners stepped into the DMC World DJ Championships arena, it wasn’t just a battle — it was a statement.
Their routine was razor-sharp.
Machine-gun transforms. Surgical flares. Tight beat juggling that felt almost mechanical — but still raw and aggressive. Every drop hit with intention. Every cut landed on point.
What made their 1999 era stand out wasn’t just technical skill — it was chemistry. The hand-offs were seamless. The routines were structured like a live composition, not just a collection of tricks. They showed the world that turntablism could be orchestral, militant, and explosive all at once.
That performance helped cement the late 90s as a golden era of battle DJing — when creativity, risk, and pure vinyl control ruled the stage.
No laptops.
No sync buttons.
Just skill, timing, and nerves of steel.
🎧 Respect to the era that shaped modern scratch culture.

I like to practice with random records, just to find the tempo as fast as possible.
This is one example. it’s not about the music, it’s about the technique.
It’s a great exercise to improve your skills as a vinyl DJ, because sometimes you need to react fast and trust your ears.
In the setup here you can see my brand new Elara 6 from @unionaudio wich I’m Completely in love with and my trusted @technics_global 1200🖤
