"DJs: Skratchcon 2000 (video)."


  

          

To my knowledge, this was maybe the online stream of this event...because while there were edited version(s) released on DVD/VHS, this is definitely the unedited, warts and all...

http://youtu.be/tvBDp_0Em5c

I went to this 13 years ago....and it was groundbreaking at the time. All the names in the industry were there - we got to try out the new 07ISP (or was it the 09?) with the quadrophonic transformer switches, we got records, shirts, tapes, skratch records, a ton of things to go with our tickets (the mid-level ones which we bought were $200 I think...and then the ticket to the after party was $25 with the Skratch Perverts, DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist/Steinski, DJ Radar or Z-Trip, and the final performance of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz )...for an 18 year old fresh out of high school, this was something I had to save a bit for...but worth every penny.

My friend and I flew in from LA and didn't get a hotel - just went from the party at 2am for the 7am flight back from San Fran, we just hung in the airport.

Anyway...this might not have become the yearly event they thought it was going to then, but it's a moment in time that's a must see for the fans of this era. Also hilarious to see A-Trak that young.

...a self described QBert clone when young. I think his brother's band helped and DJing for Kanye in the mid 2000s really helped mold him into his own thing. He was a little lost in the shuffle for a bit there.

Pre-Serato era...Craze was unfairly good.

I think that may have been his first single. Still remember taking him to FatBeats for the first time still wet behind the ears. Crazy.

This was huge at the time... Makes me feel old this being that long ago. Interesting to see DJ culture take a turn not long after this. Really miss that era tho.

Classic event...

Actually, that YouTube link is the edited version featured on the DVD release. The VHS version (released on two seperate video tapes) contains the longer version with Mix Master Mike, Shortkut, etc. included...
