you know all the DJ mag top 100, International DJ positions... ever wonder why NO turntablists are included? I guess the reason is you can't compare them like-for-like, because turntablist and dance DJs are fundamentally different.
So, I have decided to compile the best DJs, in my opinion, around the world for 1. scratch, 2. juggle and 3. battle. I remember the first video I ever saw was Qbert and Mixmastermike, in the 1995 world final showcase. I fell in love straight away, not with the guys... but with their hands... ... no that sounds even worse. These are the people who have inspired millions and stayed humble. Hopefully, by posting these videos, people will be inspired the same way as I was... or maybe not.
Anyway, here is the first of the top DJs list:
1. Scratch DJs
USA
These two are Qbert and D-styles of the Invisbl Skratch Piklz. Some might say they are the best scratchers ever to touch turntables. Qbert is the inventor and developer of many scratches to date and D-styles has the most unique funky style. Other DJs include Vajra, Illtraxx and Ricci Rucker.
Japan
This is DJ Ken One (2002 DMC Japan Final 2nd place), one of Japan's best scratch DJ. It was hard to pick this one, because Japan as a country has the best scratchers in the world. Who would have thought? Another person I should have included is Miyajima (2007 DMC Japan Champion).
France
DJ Troubl (2006 DMC Battle for World Supremacy 2nd Place) is the most technical scratcher in France. I think this is more of an acquired taste, by that I mean it's difficult to understand the difficulty of his scratches. Note that I mean the technique of his scratching but not the sound he scratches. Others include Netik, Scratch Science DJs and Eko.
Germany
This is DJ Rafik (2008 DMC World Champion). This is actually a really old video, so I think he's even better these days. But yea, nice huh? Others are Unkut, and people in Noisy Stylus.
United Kingdom
The one on the left is Muzzell (2005 UK Champion) and the one on the right is Tigerstyle (2003 3x World Champion). These guys are just insanely good and very technical
That's all for the scratchers. More later bitches.
