anyone ever seen/heard of this happening?
i was listening to youngsta and task last night (anyone got audio for this show?) and I swear youngsta was using 3 decks...but all task said was "maybe...maybe not" - maybe i was hearing things.

I did one a few years ago....lots of proto dubstep and 2002 grime with some slowed down dnb to fill things out a bit....

Mark One's mix is not strictly dubstep (still very good), but I could upload that if you want.

its somethin i've been thinking of trying sometime.... of course u need to get beatmatching down really quick, i imagine, but i've always had the desire to hear two tunes over one another, then mixed into a third tune. dont remember any of the combinations i thought of, but there are definitely many creative applications for this. problem is, i need a third deck...

What about 2 djs and 4 decks? has anyone heard of this with dubstep?
We have this setup at our studio, 4 decks, 3 mixers for 2 djs... only prob is Im the only dubstep dj in a house of dnb djs...
I know some others that spin dstep, I should get a few cats over to the house and see what happens... Anyone on here from LA wanna take a crack at 4 decks with me?

Yeah I've done this with dubstep, it's a lot of fun and extremely challenging, especially if you don't know what the other person is drawing for..

Done this a couple of times on my show, but only with 2 decks and a CD deck. Best ive ever seen was Andy C and Hype in the main room at Fabrics. It's got four decks and 2 headphone sockets so thay where pulling some mad stuff out the bag

Thats 4linehaiku's mix, mostly dubstep, but with a bit of grime and...well, you'll see the tracklisting.
Its large.

not strictly on a dubstep flex,
Dj Cameo (1XTRA) did a 30 minute, 4 deck garage - ish mix a while ago. It was blended so well, that mixed tunes actually seemed like were originals.
Big Up Cameo.
