I always was a fan of beastie boys as a kid in Hollywood listening to there. Music a lot of people would jam stuff on the boulevard even on the streets with breakers on Hollywood and highland when the holiday inn hotel was there no metro station or mall
2:00 where he lifts the record to scratch! Saw him do this live at a basement night club called The Box in Auckland city, New Zealand during summer in the late 90s. My mate and I (both DJs) we’re right up the front holding onto the DJ booth right there with Mike having the time of our lives! I’d been to a local record shop earlier that day where Mike was signing albums and turntables. I took a couple of copies of his album and the covers I had for my turntables. He was a super cool dude, and is a beast of DJ and showman live. I remember about 3/4 of the way through his set, Mike literally collapsed in the DJ booth it was so hot! The club was packed, sweat dripping from the ceiling, everyone losing their minds! He didn’t collapse KO but literally crumpled backwards panting. I’ve never seen records and a mixer with that much condensation and moisture on them and still functioning. Mike was brought some bottles of water, recovered and continued his set. Safe to say, I’ll never forget that gig! The man.
He's such a great DJ, it's amazing that he keeps up with the times too, he's not necessarily using old school equipment, got the computer and everything.
What the fuck just happened here, Holy shit Mike you were bending the record scratching that bitch? Wtf yo you the Jimi Hendrix of the Tables period..
I'm amazed at how other DJs hate on routines they know are off the charts. Hope I never meet any of you.
