Check this shit out. Go to about the 1 hour 25 min. mark for a bit of pre-mix chat, then listen to DJ Clue (and his partner's) live-on-air-DMC practice set. Gotta be honest and say that for being such a big name, Clue's set isn't really all that good, and the interview afterwards is really strange. See what you think about this.

    i've seen him spin live in Seattle and it was really . no beat matching, just slamming one track into another and yelling "CLUUUUUE" "CLUUUUUUMANATI" over and over again....in other words

    He doesn't. Whoo Kid has two of those replay machines that look like a keyboard on a computer and hold 8 hours of music. One has a gun shot in it and the other has all of the songs. He just hits buttons.

    You guys are assuming that in order to be a big name he must be "good". From a business perspective, he doesn't.

    Whoa, that what hilarious. What a laugh. They sound totally clueless (pun intended). I like the way the interviewer calls out the wackness, and these guys are just embarassing themselves talking about Gap Band raers and 'finding the groove, maaaan'. So funny .

    He's not famous for his DJ skillz. He actually is--or at least used to be--"good" at the thing that he's famous for: obtaining exclusives.

    I haven't listened to it, but that seems likely to me. I can't imagine that Clue would have any interest in competing in a "turntablist" competition.

    One love guys, it's one love. It's like being at a party that you're supposed to be at, but not supposed to be at. One love. Oh, and FYI, sometimes it's not one love overseas at international competitions.

    the cross fader contour goes to eleven.....

  • Haha, it's got to be a joke...
    The best bit is when after they played those songs they were saying how dope it was to each other... and denying it was over 6 minutes...

  • LOL. This is like the Spinal Tap of Turntablism.

    Exactly. If you haven't figured it out by now, this is indeed a put-on and the host is Tom Scharpling, half of the duo responsible for that "music snob" routine I posted awhile back. His show on WFMU is freaking hilarious and you can hear more shows here (I recommend listening to them in chronological order):

    Or check his website:

    September 25, 2001: Tom Talks To An Angry Mr. Bungle Fan, Julian From The Strokes, Mark From Sparklehorse, And Gets Goofed On By A Pair Of Teenage Girls, And Ultimately Attempts To Return Things To An Artificial State Of Normalcy.

    the guy that's doing to voice of dj clue is comedian jon benjamin of dr. katz/home movies fame.



    i also have a feeling that these guys don't know dj clue exists and chose a fake name not knowing that an famous dj already had it. but regardless i still think this is a pretty great parody of the lives that a lot of people on the website live.
