nice linkages brux. i love routines and especially the dmc. wasn't really *that* impressed with either of the sets but there was some nuts stuff in there. i guess after all these years it's really hard to do anything 'new' in a sense as far as the turntablism goes and i guess it's a lot more about picking the things to fuck with to set yourself apart. very enjoyable! good to see a german dude and a couple of japanese dudes take out the classes too!

the routines have definitely changed a lot in the past couple of years, probably starting with I-emerg a few years ago.
Due to a few factors.
1) serato has enabled dudes to play with mp3's, meaning that they can basically practise until they're dead, rearrange the record as much as they want, then 2 weeks before the competition send away to germany for a set of custom records (only costs about $100, can't wait to get mine)
2) Production. most of the dj's are working hand in hand with a decent producer to make awesome records, and work out cool transitions etc.
i find it interesting how little love this turntablist stuff gets on this site. Mayb it's because i was a turntablist first, but i always try to slot some kind of turntable trickery into productions. Now i just need to get my hands on serato, so i can have instant doubles of my drum track, juggle and hit record.

i have nothin' but love for turntabalism but yep totally agree with you. it doesn't really seem to get much love anywhere anymore, which sucks. the german vinyl thingy sure is interesting too... would be the best thing ever cutting a few of your own tracks and playing on vinyl 
speaking of good turntablists my good ol' pal z-trip is playing in hobart next month! so fucking pumped for this. actually i'd say you'd be a fan of the lineup mate:
The Jungle Brothers (USA) Soundsystem Set,
Z-Trip (USA) Live featuring Soup of Jurassic 5,
Swollen Members (Can) Live
and
DJ Format (UK)
:D:D
(you should get traktor scratch too in my honest and humble opinion - superbbbb package yo)
