Turntablism Meets Soul Music: Asian Hawk [Video]

Asian Hawk just destroyed a new set over at DJcityTV where he fuses a bit of R&B live performance with turntablism. The results are so DOPE. Great mic skills, great composition skills, and great turntable wizardry allows him to pull off a nice routine that is different than the others.

Asian Hawk just destroyed a new set over at DJcityTV where he fuses a bit of R&B live performance with turntablism. The results are so DOPE. Great mic skills, great composition skills, and great turntable wizardry allows him to pull off a nice routine that is different than the others. Asian Hawk uses a Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer, a Traktor Kontrol F1, a footswitch, and a Numark TTX pro turntable to pull off this excellent routine. Big props to AH and DJcityTV for putting this up.

The Traktor Kontrol Z2 Mixer and Stanton ST-150 Super-OEM turntables are my battle weapons of choice. I have been using this setup for the last few years now and I always had a vinyl skin on each piece to make it look unique. It's about time to switch up the look, so I decided to contact our friends over at 12inchskinz.com to see what they had to offer. We decided to go with the "All-Gold-Everything" theme to change the Turntables & Mixer to have a loud gold appearance and we were NOT disappointed!

DJ Hit Creator jumps in his own DJ Booth to bring us this Turntable PLUS iPod Turntablist video for this week's entry. Working from his iPod for the beat and a Technics 1210 for scratching, we get to see him lay it down in this short, but sweet video showing the skills. Video Inside.

The brand new Reloop RP-8000 MIDI hybrid DJ turntables have been turning up everywhere across the globe since they've been released and many famous DJ's have been popping up with new videos to show off some new tricks and techniques. The latest DJ to put out a great performance video with the Reloop RP-8000's is DJ ND. Check out our full video review of the RP-8000's then see a true DMC DJ show you what they can do.

DasMatic is the son of legendary DJ Jam Master Jay and he is a great DJ and producer who does his thing on the one's and two's every chance he gets. Check out this sick "Made-in-America" routine by DasMatic as he gets busy on the technics 1200's and a tight Rane Mixer. Dude has some really tight skills that are on full display in this dope video. Watch the video inside.

Reloop has just announced two brand new turntables at the BPM 2013 show this weekend that is sure to get vinyl and DVS users very excited. Introducing the Reloop RP-8000 MIDI hybrid turntable (above) and the RP-7000 high-torque turntables without the MIDI control. These new turntables have the familiar Super-OEM internal makeup with high torque direct drive motors while the RP-8000 adds a host of MIDI on-board control buttons and an encoder knob for DJ software mapping and control.

Check out our quick unboxing & first impressions video of the new Numark NTX1000 DJ turntable. The full video review will be released later today so stay tuned and subscribe to the youtube channel!

The Epsilon company puts out great quality DJ gear at extremely affordable prices. I can easily vouch for these claims as we've recently reviewed their Epsilon INNO-PROPAK turntable/mixer package and the Epsilon EPS 8.0 active studio monitors with great results. It looks like the masses are also in agreement as everyone was on hand at the NAMM 2015 Epsilon Booth to see their new offerings up close and personal.

The Invisibl Skratch Piklz is definitely my favorite turntablist DJ team of all time. They have recently been touring everywhere and showing off their incredible turntable skills once again all over the world. Just recently the Skratch Piklz hit the 2016 XGAMES to put on a quick performance for the masses. Check out this dope video after the jump.
