Book Reviews of DJ Skills: The essential guide to Mixing and Scratching
Book Review: DJ Skills Captures the Essence and the Art of Djing
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a DJ who has been spinning, scratching and digging for over five years now and I found DJ Skillz to be the most comprehensive look into the world of DJing that has ever been printed on paperback! Not only does Webber give excellent step-by-step instructions on pulling off all the essential Scratch techniques used by DJ's today, but he also provides an extremely interesting and well written history of records and the turntable itself. Webber also interviews some of the world's biggest DJ's from BT to DJ Shadow, which provides the reader with a very intimate view into the ways different DJ's from different styles understand their artform. I especially loved the part about the Robot DJ their developing at MIT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL SPECTRUM OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A DJ GET THIS BOOK!!!!
