The way I see it,I’ve seen and heard it all when it comes to DJs in hip-hop. Now,in turntablism, we all know the basics-scratching,mixing,backspinning,beat juggling,and the most advanced of all-body tricks. Turntablism has played a very important role in hip-hop. Today,I have came across something new,and that is experimental noise turntablism,which leads me to this question-what is the difference between hip-hop DJs and experimental noise DJs? I know that the hip-hop DJs scratch and mix for turntablist battles. As for experimental noise DJs, I would figure these DJs would mess up the mix and the song by making silly sounds on the turntables,just by fooling around with the records-and not doing a serious DJ mix. Noise music is something I would like,especially when I would record myself switching channels on the radio,place the cassette in my tape recorder,and mess around with the speed control to see how the music sounded when it’s warped or distorted. And then I would constantly press the rewind,play,and fast-forward buttons to make it sound like turntables. I think that experimental noise DJs would make their mix sound like a broken tape recorder that is eating up the tape. But then again,I could be wrong. So,please tell me,what’s the real scoop behind this new sound of music?
