Cooking up a storm.
DJ techniques and technology have changed rapidly over the last couple of decades. New musical styles have demanded different approaches to mixing, while the explosion in digital technology from CDJs to mixers and controllers—has seen the classic two-turntables-and-a-mixer setup disappearing from DJ booths around the world. But can it really be beaten? The elegant, no-frills simplicity of two Technics will always look undeniably cool, and it definitely evokes a serious amount of nostalgia for the heyday of ’90s turntablism.
DJ Luter One‘s megamix of ’90s classics, remixes and edits will definitely make memories of the bygone era come flooding back. Recorded in his kitchen—because where else, right?—the mix grooves through irrepressible R&B classics, ’90s big beat from the Prodigy and even a Sheryl Crow remix.
