5th anniversary podcasts – D-Styles and Shorkut interview pt 3

Part 3 of our exclusive interview with D-Styles and Shorkut, conducted December 07 in Harajuku, Tokyo.

The interview is split over 3 videos, filmed by DJ Moyma and conducted by both myself and Moyma. Editing once more, and for the last time, comes from Ed Rooth. Many thanks go to D and Short for their time, humour and openess, Reishi at Vestax for making it happen, Moyma for filming, Ed for editing and Henshaw, Byron and S-Tokyo for the jokes and ping pong madness that ensued.

For more info on D-Styles and Shortkut peep the myspaces, and for more on Vestax head over to their official site.

That’s it for our 5th anniversary podcasts, I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did putting them together. We’re resuming our re-run of the original 70 shows presented by Trick next week, and I should be dropping a more ‘normal’ podcast sometime in late October or early November (depending on how busy life continues to keep me) and also look out for a special Italy session towards the end of the year too now that I’ve temporarily relocated to the old continent.

All three videos are in .mp4 format, optimised for iPod and iTunes viewing but fully playable on any players and platforms, as long as you have the right codecs. So if you get an error, just check your updates. This third video is 108mb in size.

5th Anniversary podcasts – D-Styles and Shortkut interview pt 1

As announced last week, the last of our 5th anniversary podcasts is an exclusive video interview with D-Styles and Shortkut, filmed in December 07 in Tokyo, shortly after the Vestax freestyle battle which was held in Harajuku.

This interview links right back to the first few TTR shows presented by Trick (and which we’ve been re-podcasting weekly since the summer just in case you’ve been under a rock somewhere), where he interviewed Short and D when they toured Europe with the Beat Junkies.

To celebrate our anniversary we decided to link up with the two of them again and chew the fat over various things from battles (an unavoidable subject considering their reason for being in town) to recent works, hyphy music, dubstep and the whole turntablist thing, you know.

The interview is split over 3 videos, filmed by DJ Moyma and conducted by both myself and Moyma. Editing once more, and for the last time, comes from Ed Rooth. Many thanks go to D and Short for their time, humour and openess, Reishi at Vestax for making it happen, Moyma for filming, Ed for editing and Henshaw, Byron and S-Tokyo for the jokes and ping pong madness that ensued.

5th Anniversary podcasts – D-Styles and Shortkut live in Shibuya pt 2

This is part two of the D-Styles and Shortkut live in Shibuya video podcast. Make sure you check the post for part 1 for the full fat low down on what this is all about.

Part 2 is more of the same, with the added bonus of a guest appearance from Japanese scratch prodigies Sara and Ryusei. As I mention in the original post, watch for their faces as D gets loose on the electro beat. This footage was filmed by DJ Moyma at the Vestax Extravaganza battle in Shibuya, Tokyo, December 2007.

As with previous multi-part video podcasts we’ve done, this one is split into two posts, each with one video and made live consecutively. Subscribers should have the files downloading to their computers right now, and those who aren’t subscribed yet can do so with the widgets on the left or by clicking on the RSS icon in the address bar. Those still too lazy to do the whole podcasting ting can grab the direct link below.

Once again both the videos are in .mp4 format, optimised for iPod and iTunes viewing but fully playable on any players and platforms, as long as you have the right codecs. So if you get an error, just check your updates. This second video is 69mb in size.

Thanks go to D and Short for their time, Moyma for the camera work, and Reishi at Vestax for help in making this happen. And a massive thanks and big up also goes to Ed Rooth for his editing work. These videos will be the last ones Ed edits for us for a while as he knuckles down and gets busy with real life. Since joining the TTR family last year Ed’s put in some amazing work with the video podcasts we’ve been releasing this year, so a massive thanks goes out to him and he’ll be sorely missed while he’s gone.

Stay tuned for the interview which will go live in one week, then we resume our regular re-run of the original shows and I’ll also be putting in another appearance with a more regular podcast towards the end of the month.

5th anniversary podcasts – D-Styles and Shortkut live in Shibuya pt 1

True to the saying ‘better late than never’, I’m very happy to bring to you the last part of Turntable Radio’s 5th Anniversary podcast series. I’ll spare you the details of the delay, but let’s just say that 2008 has been an interesting year for me so far and my world trip didn’t help with making things happen on time as they say.

Still we’re there, and so we take a break from the re-run of the original 70 shows presented by Mr. Trick to bring you a very special series of videos featuring D-Styles and Shortkut. Altogether there are 5 videos spread over 2 events – a live showcase as part of the 2007 Vestax Extravaganza battle that took place in Shibuya, Tokyo, last december, and an interview with D-Styles and Shortkut conducted the same weekend in Tokyo. The interview is all the more special as D-Style and Short were the first people to be interviewed by Trick 5 years ago (well actually nearly 6 now!) when the show first started. This updated interview sort of links back to those humble beginnings and brings us full circle 5 years on, as we continue bringing you fresh new music from the tablist world on the regular.

We’re starting this week with two videos from the live showcase. As I mentioned this was filmed during the Vestax Extravaganza battle held in Shibuya in December 07. The footage was filmed by DJ Moyma (big up your bad self sir!) and unfortunately we couldn’t get a separate audio recording so it gets a little ‘rough’ in certain parts, but I think you’ll agree it’s worth it to see two of the finest tablists put on a, pretty much unrehearsed, fine musical showcase. Also look out in part 2 for a guest appearance from Sara and Ryusei, the two Japanese prodigy kids that blew up all over youtube and the internet in the last year. I particularly like the look on their face as D lets loose on the electro beat!
