Went to celebrate Jonathan Cruz 's aka DJ Shortkut, big 50th on the 80's Bay cruise. Had such a great time! Every song he and Scotty Fox played just blew up the crowd. When was the last time you heard the party yelling out the lyrics of 2 Live Crew's "We Want Some 🐈?" 🤣🤣🤣
That's how bangin it was tho!

It's been over a year since I sold my Rane Twelves. Why am I now seeing more routines being done on them? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Was watching the current DMC open format wildcards and it's taking me back to the mix battle days and I am loving it! I am noticing A LOT of pitch play now using the key pads. Nothing wrong with that at all. But I did see a DJ bust out Planet Rock. A tone I did at DMC 2010 (while teamed with Charles Angeles Jr. ) using the test tone pitch (slider only, no buttons).

I'm pretty sure the DJ did not know it had been done before. The points I'm making is that
1) With the richand long history of battling, it's getting harder and harder to do something completely original that hasn't been done before. DJ's now might need to filter through decades of available footage to ensure that something they do is indeed the FIRST of it's kind. That's hard enough as it is as a performer trying to practice. Which brings me to my second point:

2) Judges REALLY need to know their stuff here now. I've already seen first hand what happens when battle judges award a DJ winning points for a routine another DJ did a year or two before. So it's even HARDER for the judges because it's so important they really have their history in iconic skratches and routines down. Otherwise the integrity of the competition is now questionable at the very least.

Thoughts?

Now my God Daughter not only gets to say her God Father is a former W.Coast and World DJ champ, but also that the DJ for her 18th Bday is a US Champion. 😅
