I am a huge fan of all things turntablist related and a lot of the love of the game came from none other than D-Styles. For the past fifteen years I watched D-Styles (and the whole Skratch Piklz Team) rip it up on the decks like no one else can. In this latest performance video from the Serato Icon Artist Series, D-Styles shows why he is still one of the best in the game making the turntable sound like a real live saxophone player getting busy over the beat.
