SE2 week 1 – Ken One live @ Star Pines cafe
As mentioned a few weeks back on Rhythm Incursions we're starting a series of weekly podcasts, lasting a month, featuring exclusive live audio from Ken One's recent 'Skratch Evolution 2' event. Held at Kichijoji's Star Pines cafe, this musical evening featured a rather interesting mix of Tokyo's underground music scenes with scratch DJs, producers and MCs coming together for a series of live showcases alongside some live painting. This was Ken's second such event, up a notch from the first which was a more scratch-centered affair. These podcasts also form the first joint Rhythm Incursions and Turntable Radio series, something ...
Beat4Battle TV: Japan – Episode 3
We return for 2010 in full effect with our roving scratch reporter Yoshi and his Beat4Battle TV series. This is episode 3 of the Japan series, which sees Yoshi hooking up with, and filming, a selection of the best, and often slept-on, Japanese turntablists. For episode 3 he went all the way to Tanashi (actually not that far, it's in the suburbs of Tokyo) to film DJ Rockhill, a seriously talented guy who I think most people definitely aren't really up on - I know I wasn't, even if the name was a little familiar from my time in Japan. ...

DJ Hero, Scratch: first guitars, now DJing and turntablism.
Its been tough to ignore the monumental rise of the Guitar Hero franchise and its various copycat incarnations (Rock Band etc). As befits these Fear & Loathing times for the music industry, games have now proven a better earner for some bands than the albums their tracks were licensed from. Aerosmith are one fine example, notoriously making more... (more...)
