TJ Mizell - J Train to Marcy Official Video

TJ Mizell is not only the son of legendary Jam Master Jay of RUN DMC, but he also happens to be one of the most dope DJs in the game right now. In his new video he is featured scratching and beat juggling over the Williamsburg Bridge, as he powers his turntables on the J train using a car battery. This type of stunt has never been caught on camera before, and to our knowledge, never even attempted.

Today’s video comes from the good homie and NYC native TJ Mizell. TJ is not only the son of legendary Jam Master Jay of RUN DMC, but he also happens to be one of the most dope DJs in the game right now. In his new video he is featured scratching and beat juggling over the Williamsburg Bridge, as he powers his turntables on the J train using a car battery. This type of stunt has never been caught on camera before, and to our knowledge, never even attempted. It is great to see a young DJ on the come up keeping the art of turntablism alive, and doing it in style. Stay on the lookout for more dope content from Mizell, and the rest of the DopeRoots Music Group.

Over 11 years ago the world lost one of the greatest DJ’s to ever be behind a pair of turntables. Today, on Jam Master Jay's birthday, true homage is paid.

In the past month we have had a couple features from the NYC rising celebrity DJ, TJ Mizell, and the content has been nothing short of awesome. Today, TJ raises the bar with his new music video with a special cameo featuring DMC (of RUN DMC) himself. Check out the visuals of Mizell and DMC chopping up Lorde’s “Royals” over Swizzymack’s “Drip”. Mizell collaborated with producer SEENO on the track, and what came out is pure dope.

In today's day and age, buying DJ equipment online can be as trustworthy and reliable as that $1,000,000 you just won off a pop-up ad. It is for that reason that we here at DJBooth have a strong appreciation for our friends over at American Musical Supply and the quality service they provide to not only our readers, but our staff as well. Over the past few weeks, we have teamed up with them to talk with five of the hottest DJs in music today to see what kind of equipment they are rocking. Hit the jump to check out our second partnered DJ, TJ Mizell!

Many DJ's and turntablists who use vinyl will be very excited about this new product... The new company called Kutmarks have come out with some reusable vinyl labels in many different styles that can be attached and reattached to vinyl over and over again. The cool new Kutmarks labels all have good markings so that scratch DJ's can remember their places while pulling off turntablist tricks and juggles.

A few weeks ago you may have noticed our post on DJ legend of Public Enemy, Chuck D. To honor the group, Serato released an exclusive 12’’ Serato x Public Enemy Shut Em Down Vinyl Pressing. Today’s turntablist video features Toronto native and disc jockey extraordinaire, Scratch Bastid, doing a quick scratch routine on the new wax. Short, simple, and dope!

Now that the era of the digital DJ is in full effect, every manufacturer is coming out with new and revolutionary MIDI controllers so that DJ's can use their computer software to do all sorts of things on a pair of decks that wouldn't have been possible only 10 short years ago. Novation steps in with their new Dicer MIDI deck controller that will allow an analog pair of turntables to interact with a DJ software like never before...

We recently reviewed the new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 which is a very powerful DJ controller for Traktor while also working as a DVS enabled mixer for external turntables and CDJ style control. The legendary DJ Shiftee has just completed a pretty sick turntable timecode DVS performance along with using some of the new cool features on the Traktor Kontrol S8 such as Freeze Mode. Check out this dope performance video to see what's possible with the new S8.

The brand new Mixvibes Cross DVS package that works with any DJ soundcard has now been released and can be purchased at retailers everywhere for the new low price of only $99. The new Mixvibes Cross DVS package comes with the Mixvibes timecode vinyl and the powerful Mixvibes software in order to get started. The user needs to add a mixer, a soundcard, a computer, turntables/CDJ's, and music to start spinning. We have a new Mixvibes DVS package in the Lab for the full review treatment, but we've unboxed these vinyl on camera to see what's included in the package...
