A Visit From DJ Babu

September 15, 2008

A little footage I found from when the legendary DJ Babu guest deejayed on my radio show, back in 2002. Check out his beat-juggling on the Emotions' "Blind Alley." (Observers in the background are DJ Emskee, DJ Avee, Randy and the ever enthusiastic DJ Tomkat.)

Lol, Bigsby beat me to it.

Legendary, repping for the Pinoys and Pinays. Not like we're under-repped in DJing, lolz.

DOPE SHIT.

Oh man, that was amazing.

Jay, please don't hesitate for a second to put up stuff like this. I know you know your video show is like a mix, yo, so between your knowledge if you drop a little science demo (like this), well, that's fine and all part of the flow. Interlude!

mad skillz!!

I like the swing in that beat juggle. I get so used to hearing straight 4/4 out of the beat machines, that such things are a refreshing perspective.

Technique! No doubt, but can he do it on The Replicator?

Ramoncar-

I believe the device you are referring to is the "Weplicator"

One.

I did not know that was The Emotions all these years. Ultimate Beats and Breaks never gave the artists names. The emotions are one of the best girl groups of our times. Thanks ...now I gotta go see where I can find the original album.
