Invisibl Scratch Piklz at NAMM 2016

Q-Bert, D-Styles, and Shorkut demoing the new Pioneer turntables. God forbid one of my Technics TTs craps out on me (which is not beyond the realm of possibilities given how much my 4-year-old plays on them), I think I'd go with these Pioneer TTs to replace them. Anybody using them? Thoughts, recommendations for other TTs? I haven't been in the market for over 20 years.

Straight dopeness!

D-Styles Guitar Center Hollywood Set (3/6/14)

I'm not really a fan of "scratch" sets at all. However, for some reason I really enjoy D-Styles' scratch sets. I just think his sets are more "musical" in his showcasing of his technical abilities. Enjoy

Inspiration Information - Mixed b y D-Styles

As with most mixes I thoroughly enjoy, it is very hard to describe this mix in terms of the genres of music that are incorporated. Just trust me if you've never heard this previously Japan only mix.

A mix cd released in Japan. A mix of the original songs used on alot of Break/Battle LPs. Plus some collabs with Ricci Rucker & Mr. Henshaw.

Babu & D-Styles NAMM 2013

I'm not sure how this video slipped below my radar, but it did. I recommend watching if you haven't seen it before. Two of the best to ever do it.

D-Styles & DJ Melo-D on MikiDz Show

D-Styles & Melo D - MikiDz Show - 10/28/13 from DJcityTV on Vimeo.

Legendary DJs D-Styles and Melo D from the Beat Junkies teamed up last week on the MikiDz Show for a rare 2x4 performance. The two showed why they're two of the best turntablists to ever do it. No controllers, synths or other fancy devices: just two mixers, four turntables and a bunch of nasty beats. Enjoy.

Here's a nice 30 minute video of a recent Beat Junkies performance. Need I say more? Be inspired and enjoy.

D-Styles at the Armory

I don't normally post scratch routines, but this is just way too clean to ignore.

D-Styles on The MALfunkTION Radio

The audio isn't great (it's not horrible either), but the mix is worth grinding through.

Word to DJ Ada! Get it while it's hot.
