TURNTABLE TRICKNOLOGY

DMC world champions perform with TRAKTOR gear

 
Turntablism is the art of pushing a traditional DJ setup to the limit through a DJ's extraordinary skills. In the videos below, the world's greatest turntablists demonstrate what is possible when you throw cutting-edge TRAKTOR technology in to the mix.

 

DJ CRAZE

Five times DMC World Champion DJ Craze explores a new dimension of creativity by integrating TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO and the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 controller in to the classic two turntables and a mixer setup. Craze rocks two decks and incorporates cue point juggling and TRAKTOR effects, made possible via the X1's intuitive control!
