Anyone know of a good example of dubstep and turntablism?
Someone must have given it a go, surely?

This is alot. The track aint amazing or nothing, but the live production is very very impressive- I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time. Watching this has made me favour a Zero 4 above a new Pioneer DJM for an upcoming mixer purchase- using the new Korg mixers with Logic is on another level!

Scratching over dubstep

I've been a scratch dj (+ avid dubstep entheusiast) for a while now and have only just started practicing over dubstep. Its a hard transition for most scratchers to make at the bpm of dubstep is quite far removed from the that of the music types that we all grew up scratching to. DJ Snafu from bristol has a really good flow over dubstep and thats what I'm trying to get a handle on at the moment. Man you need soo much hand control. Checkhim:

to be honest, in my experience a lot of the electro beats that dj's used to cut aaah over were all 70/75 bpm, stuff produced by d-styles, flare, toadstyles and that. I'm used to getting cuts down over that kind of tempo, it was often easier to get your cuts and combos clean at that tempo than switching up to 90bpm. d-styles always seemed to be cutting at that tempo (i know he's done quite a bit with nosaj thing, I heard one of the mixes they did which was sick, in parts) .
a lot of tunrtablists focus so hard on techniques that they sleep on the digging aspect of djing and miss out on a lot of good fresh music. so although many have the potential probably to tear it up they don't do. and then even some technically good battle dj's that do play around with dubstep choose some really nasty rusko shit which I'd rather chew my arm off than listen to.
i'd heard that jpb was doing a lot of dubstep in his routines although I've not seen any of his ish, i think woody is diversifying quite a bit after his recent passenger mix (although I don't know for sure if that included dubstep), 2tall/om unit was a pretty sick turntablist in his day as was lorn, hudson mohawke. tigerstyles used to rock a lot 0f 66.6/123.2 bpm shit in his day. i know timestretch had some badboy cuts and last I heard of him he was heavily into dubstep.
I juggle more now than I cut in practice though I mainly play hiphop/95-115 bpm beats (maybe a bit wonky). I threw in a few juggles in my last couple of mixes which are still available to download.

This... HARD
I used to scratch and mix hiphop (still do actually) about 8 years ago and kind of gave up on being the next qbert when I realized people DON'T wanna hear that shit for an hour non-stop, don't get me wrong turntablism is cool as fuck but the majority of dudes who do it can't put a decent mix together, ALL about the selection. Anyways, maybe I'll get my cutting up to standard and post it up!
