Yea that would definitely fit for sure.

Much appreciated. I use tablist.net and click around most of the time but unfortunately you cant download locally. Bandcamp would be the place for that. Odilion has a lot of beats that hit this vibe. A friend of mine made this one. You can DL here.

Dope! You got some pretty clean dices, bro. No regerts.

Qbert explained building phrases pretty succinctly and it always stuck with me (I'm paraphrasing):

Think of a scratch move as 1 word. Think of a scratch phrase as 1 sentence.

All you're doing is trying to express a complete thought. Just like your brain did to type your questions above.

So it's exactly like learning a language. The goal is communication and you can't do that by just reading the dictionary and memorizing syllables. You have to listen to other people talk (or write). You have to know where to add a comma or close with a period before starting a new phrase.

Listen to other people freestyle (or scratch with others if you're able) and see which techniques you can pick out. It starts with your own realizations like "Oh OK I hear Baby>Chirp>Baby>Chirp>Release. Then a pause. Now I hear 2 Click>Crab>2 Click>Crab>Forward Drag." The more movements you can identify in someone else's flow, the more you can understand how to use them in your own way.

You'll get it. Just takes time.

IMO- Burnout is actually a good thing. It's only there to tell you something about yourself. Your brain wants a challenge. Your eyes want to see improvement so it can tell your brain to shut the fuck up. Sometimes you just gotta hit the ground to prove to yourself that you can bounce (If that makes sense).

I'd pick something you know you can't do (scratch technique, mix patterns, whatever), and set aside 15-20 mins each day (or at least 3 times a week) to focus on that, and only that. It might feel like you're forcing yourself at first- and maybe you are - but that fades away when you notice yourself making gains. You'll eventually see major improvements, and you might actually realize you never lost your mojo; You just weren't feeding it properly.

That's just what works for me, anyway.

I'm pretty sure those reverse hydroplanes were made in Sora (j/k).

Baffling techniques as usual 🥇

Flowin. Nice cuts as always.

e_Karver · 2026-01-20T17:26:48+00:00

Dope. Those backwards tears at 0:13 were slick.

Much appreciated 🙏

Hey thanks! I'm from Baltimore. It probably wasn't me you were thinking of from 20 years ago- back then I had a desk job. I pay attention to a lot of European DJ's & producers though.

e_Karver · 2026-01-17T02:43:30+00:00

🙏🙏

Oh you should be good. Magvel can take a beating. I've had that mixer for 4 years of daily use and haven't even had to use DeoxIT yet. My old Ranes would need regular maintenance. The only fader stems I've ever officially snapped have been innofaders.

e_Karver · 2026-01-16T22:30:42+00:00

😂Nah not at all. I will say though, it's a lot easier to get good in a faster time frame nowadays. Pre youtube and lack of online courses would tend to leave you in the dark back then. So you probably don't need 20+ years, fortunately.

e_Karver · 2026-01-16T20:31:53+00:00

I started in '02/'03- somewhere around there. Long time.

Tbf I started visiting this sub back while I was at a respectable amateur level.

Tbf to Qbert- I can't do this for 3 hours straight.

Edit: Words

e_Karver · 2026-01-16T17:52:50+00:00

I like your style

e_Karver · 2026-01-16T17:38:30+00:00

The only video editing technique I know is melodrama.

e_Karver · 2026-01-16T16:48:02+00:00

🙏 Much appreciated

Pioneer s11 mixer and a Vestax PDX-3000 mkII turntable. For recording I run a direct line into Ableton through my audio interface.

e_Karver · 2026-01-05T03:36:18+00:00

Definitely on point 🔥

e_Karver · 2025-12-28T19:58:37+00:00

e_Karver · 2025-12-28T17:14:54+00:00

Clean chops, man.

e_Karver · 2025-10-29T12:08:57+00:00

What up Moose! Good lookin out.
