Scratch and Spin

My personal view on DJ’s has changed after watching the documentary Scratch about how the scratch sound developed. This movie shows where the DJ originates and how this genre in music developed.(below is the documentary for your 1hr&a1/2 of curiosity)

Years later, there are DJ’s who party on stage and create an atmosphere for the audience through the high energy they give off and often they may not even touch their equipment once. However there are DJ’s who actually control their turntables throughout their entire performance and thus creates a different experience through their authenticity. DJ Craze’s New Slave routine shows how he is fully involved in his performance and works with his turntable nonstop.His DJing is choreographed and is what enhances his performance. 

Recently I like electronic music a lot more through the latest musical collaborations. However it’s not my go-to listen/ everyday preference, it is more the music I reach to listen to for when I need to be pumped up / have energy like at the gym or a party. I appreciate what it does for music and how it is more about technology and mechanics rather than the physical classic instruments and lyrical components addressed in mainstream music. It extends the industry and genre of music to a different sound experience and culture that goes a long with it.
