In the EDM scene, djing is seen as a different skill set as say someone with a hip hop or club back ground(sometimes). And in the whole festival craze, djing is seeing more as nothing more than push and play. Sometimes, it involves prerecorded sets. So, a while back a few turntablists termed the coin #realdjing to show the new crowd of people that what is djing is not what happens at the main stages at these festivals- performers making hand signs and waving there hands in the air. Atrak in particular has taken this to heart and has showcased something more of the culture to a new crowd of fans. And he has shared some of these instances for your viewing pleasure.

Every once in a while, A DJ comes along and is instantly dubbed as "Special". DJ A-trak is definitely one of those DJ's as he was able to win the DMC World Competition at the tender age of 15 back in 1997. Now he is Kanye West's Tour DJ and still rips it up on the one's and two's. Check out one of his memorable solo routines inside.

Good friend to DJbooth.net and World Famous DMC Champion DJ Cable from the UK is back at work once again and this time he's released a really cool video mix of all the Tribe Called Quest Music Videos from over the years along with interviews of some very influential people in hip hop. Check out this mean video mix as DJ Cable scratches and remixes it up for all the masses to enjoy.

Serato DJ just released a dope video of A-Trak performing his new track, "Believe".

On this episode of Turntablist Video Friday we have a very well-known DJ from the UK who not only can scratch, but he can rock the clubs and events just as shown in this video. He also has a few turntable tutorial youtube videos to show the novice players how to get their skills up in the DJ Game. If you like what you see here, hit him up on youtube via username DJAngeloUK. For now, Check out the video inside.

Turntablism has seen somewhat of a resurgence in the last few years, also with more DJ softwares offering pretty advanced DVS systems. And there are great options from Super-OEMS to entry level, and Numark wants to bring something "in the middle-ground". The Numark TT250 turntable is just that and we have a quick demo video with DJ A-Smooth directly from Numark to show what they can do.

DJ A-trak is the youngest person to ever win the DMC World Title at the young age of 15 in 1997. He was also one-half of the Allies DJ Team consisting of himself and DJ Craze; together they won the 2000 DMC World Team Championship. With all these accolades and many more, I thought I would share a quick video that shows the skills of A-trak and what it takes to be one of the best in the game! (Video Inside after the Jump!).

One of my favorite DJ's and a regular on our Turntablism Video Friday series, DJ A-Trak is making his way around the US to show off some new tracks (and I'm sure a few skills). He is officially on the Magic 8-Ball Tour along with Kid Sister and The Gaslamp Killer which is being sponsored by Scion. Check the press release inside for tour dates and to purchase tickets.

Serato DJ has released a new update to their flagship software to provide an update to Pitch 'n Time DJ allowing key shifting and key sync, adds key detection and display, plug and play support for the Pioneer DJM-S9 and user hardware remapping, as well as a number of important performance and stability updates. Check out the Serato Tutorial video series to get you familiar with the new features after the jump.
