RIP David Bowie.
Late night in the studio… took a break from working on a new mix to check my feeds… only to find it flooded with news that the legendary David Bowie has passed. Lots can be said & written to eulogize prolific artists like him, but I think the most appropriate way for a DJ to celebrate my favourite artists is by sharing their music. So how about a little routine?
1983’s “Let’s Dance” was produced by David himself & Nile Rodgers (from Chic, recently featured on Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’), and was Bowie’s biggest song to date, 20 years into his career. The guy never stopped creating — he stayed recording and collaborating with artists like Arcade Fire & LCD Soundsystem over the last decade, and even put out an album two days ago, before his untimely passing. If that’s not motivation as an artist, I don’t know what is. So this one’s for you, David — a tribute, just having some fun with a dancefloor smash that has always been a favourite to double copies of while keeping people moving. Don’t mind the smilin’, I can’t help it. Rest easy…
A recorded version can be found here, in my David Bowie megamix for The Strombo Show: https://www.mixcloud.com/skratchbastid/skratch-bastid-bowie-megamix-for-the-strombo-show-17-01-16/
Ok . . so. Freakin' wat . . i. Hit. Like. B4. Even. Hearing. The. Spin. CAUSE…. I. Just. Knew this. Perticular. Cut. Was. GONNA. BE. DOPE . . and. It. Was . . . .
Just finding you and this is such a great tribute to the legend!! I haven't searched your vids but I'd love to see a tribute on his final works as an artist in your dj routine.
It's really tough to understand the complexity of scratching. I just realized that bottom slider switches between the two turntables. The amount of finesse it must take to hit those notes on point is crazy!
Absolutely awesome. You are watching it as it happens. No tricks. No effects. No gimickery. Just 2 records played with instintictive talent. I watch it over and over again knowing how he does it but still with pure amazement that it's actually happening in front of my eyes. Ty DB and Ty SB

He'd be buzzing with this pal
Incredible display of skill. If only I could do what you do.
Sick mix, listening in my home in Brixton. David Bowie's home he was born in is on the road parallel to mine, legend!
