"Pleasant sounding" DJ routines
Posted on: 13.12.2012 by Valeri Holderness
theres a lot of debate going on about how most dj routines are cool to watch but are not bearable without the visuals. Without being able to see whats going on, a lot of routines sound like a huge mess. Anyways I believe it would be cool to start a thread with routines that are technical but also sound good (i.e. you would enjoy listening to them in your car and maybe the club).

I'll start it off:

A-trak obviously


I really love this. Grooving through out


I opened up for this guy (the gaff) a few days ago, incredibly talented guy. he was VERY technical throughout his set (loads of scratching and juggling) and he had everyone grooving the whole time. (If your into this kind of music I highly recommend their soul sisters mix tape, loads of great old school tunes and amazing technical djing)



I play my own "wub wub chop chop routine" out quite a bit and it goes down very well. anyways, lets see some of your favourite "pleasant sounding" routines (doesn't matter if they're your own or if they're by someone big)

Z-Trip is one of the best at being highly technical while still sounding great, and his live sets sound better than most peoples highly edited and produced "mixtapes".
definitely, z-trip always kills it

Awesome showmanship too!
that was pretty awesome! i wasn't really feeling the ending after about 17 minutes, but that's just personal preference. love those tech sounds that were going on for most of it. very cool!

Yeah, me too man! There's a time and a place for the ahhhhhhh/fresh stuff, but I love turntable compositions that stand alone as a piece of music.

And one of the first turntable/loop pedal routines I ever saw, which is still one of my favourites: -

21.12.2012		I thought the same thing. Felt like he just threw it in there to finish it up. Still a great display of creativity and talent though.
