Part of my childhood...

Three+ posts in one day. Tis a slow day at the Office. When I put the guitar down, everyone and their moms dreamed of being a DJ. Inheriting a lot of records from my aunts and uncles and listening to my own punk/metal/hip hop records I was exposed to a lot of different styles of music. When the battle DJ/turntablist scene exploded in the 90's it always came down to the X-men (Executioners) of the East and the Best of the West, the Invisbl Skratch Piklz. It was Needle dropping and beat juggling, body tricks and scratching. The flare and craaaaab skratch was barely out and it opened a whole lot of doors to the DJ scene. Here's a video of an unofficial battle between the two crews, at the eve of the ITF Battle Scene. This was the Rocksteady Reunion in NYC circa '95-'96 I think.

The ISP set combined respective sets and ended in the Klamz of Deth routine.
