What he said.

Slow skratching over bassweight if done only when it is really going to be effective (i.e. rarely) would be amazing. Overkill would be rubbish, but every now and then, drifting through the mix...

it's basically where you take any two records and switch back and forth with them and manipulate them to make something new.

Turntablism can enhance any music done correctly. Just that it's such an advanced artform it has to be done extremely well to have any decent effect.

IMO of course.

Well in Whut lad... I posted something similar (but miles longer) to this a while back.

Anybody here scratch?

Gonna record a mix with cuts and tricks soon for you guys to check.

ha ha hello mate!

yeah this one been done before, lol...

Lone Wolf is baaaad at cutting tho, believe the hype...

And i seem to remember skream sayin to me that hijack had done DMC yeaaaars ago when i interviewed him... so there's latent turntablism in dubstep...

And the Blood 1 remix of Vex'd 'Fire' is proof that it can be done well... i played it out the other day and people were going crazy.

as an avid turntablist I agree that less is more with dubstep. I might scratch drop a tune here and there(perfect with midnight request line

) I do like the double copies though, can be beautiful if done right. The Crowds here seem to dig it at least. But yeah I wouldn't go all Mixmaster Mike turntable destructo scratch over a dubstep choon personally.

That statement is just absolute BOLLOCKS!!

Anything goes when done right, really do think that was a strange thing to say.

Remember you can be part of a scene but no-one really "owns it"

the dj from portishead is a sick turntablist. thats similar to dubstep in bpm isnt it?- went well anyway.. would like to hear it on a dubstep mix before i make my mind up but ive often wondered. good thread.

scratch perverts, or at least one of em, are loving it. last time i saw em he (cant remember what his name was) dropped some skream stuff, he also said he was after bengas stuff. unfortunately he'd left his loefah tunes at home cos it was a PR gig and he didnt think any IT journlaists would be feelin the dubstep.

it worked really well if you ask me....

This man plays some dubstep and is a serious DJ -http://www.myspace.com/baseck

considering there's been a tablist remix of a vex'd track last year, and there's producers like Lone Wolf who are seriously sick on the cut i'd say there's already some links between tablism and dubstep.

wheteher or not that's a good thing is down to anyone's opinion. I've heard samples in tracks before that have reminded me of tablism. And one of Lone Wolf's new tracks has a dope synth line that sounds like someone cutting, so sonically there's definitely loadsa potential.

Btw for those interested it was Blood One, http://www.myspace.com/djblood1, who remixed vex'd. There's a chance it'll get a proper release in the future. you can hear it on Jamie Vex'd resonance show from december, and it's in the last podcast i've done too - http://feeds.feedburner.com/turntableradio
for me that's a perfect example of how to do it well, enhancing/changing the vibes without fuckin the music up.

Yeah. I can imagine sparse scratches and scratched snippets over a deep minimal tune. Maybe with a bit of reverb / echo on it.

But then, talking it is different from doing it...

They play grime and 4x4 garage, not dubstep. That 20 minute grime rinseout Luca posted here earlier has some out of this world mixing/scratching all the same. Levels way through the roof. I'm pretty sure something similar could work at the right times on dubstep, as long as it doesn't get too hectic.

R.A.W. aka 6BLOCC took his ass out a couple years ago in a battle here in Cali. ^6BLOCC kills it with the turntablism skills on dubstep, ask anyone from Cali
