Jon1st - Ninja Tune/Kid Koala Flexi Disc Battle Routine Entry 2012




This is my entry for the Kid Koala/Ninja Tune/Rane battle. The rules were to create a routine using purely the sounds from a Kid Koala flexi disc and to use the original flexi disc at least once during the performance. The video ends on an explanation detailing that I only use sounds from the Kid Koala flexi disc and points out that I'm using the flexi disc for all the scratching parts during the routine, but that I swap over to Serato in order to perform the beat juggling section and then cue up the flexi disc on the right deck again for the final scratch section. The original rules for the competition before they were amended to allow the use of DVS and samplers were that you could only use the flexi discs, so I tried to partially keep true to that mentality when approaching my routine.

Equipment used:

2 x Technics 1210s, 1 x Vestax PDX 2000 , 1 x Vestax PMC07 , 1 x Pioneer DJM909 , 1 x Akai MPC 2500 , Novation Dicers , Serato Scratch Live.

A big thanks to Aeroplane Dope, Ritchie K, Tanda and Tom Central for lending me records, cables and equipment so that I could perform my routine!
