Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable - Black, silver

The new SL-1200MK2 has become a near-mythical piece of machinery. The Hip-Hop Community calls it the “Wheel of Steel” and uses it to create the signature sound of hip-hop - “the scratch.” Only the SL-1200MK2 has a motor capable of continually withstanding the abuses of record gripping stops and high torque starts that comprise Hip Hop’s infamous “Scratch.” This is but one reason why today the SL-1200MK2 has become the official turntable of the 5, 000-member Disco Mix Club, the largest DJ club in the world.

These features make the SL-1200MK2 ideal for use with extra-high sound pressure levels. The highly sensitive tonearm features a genuine gimbal suspension, the rotational center of which is precisely defined at one point. Bearings are finished to a tolerance of +/-0.5 microns. This, and the extra-closeness of pivot center to the bearings, results in the minimal friction of 7 mg (0.007g) for both horizontal and vertical movement. The effects of external vibrations are dramatically reduced in the turntable by new turntable construction.

This is especially true in this time period where DJ’s use software and computers rather than vinyl.  Anymore a DJ doesn’t even have to know how to beatmatch or drop a record.  Basic musical and DJ theory are out the window now that your computer can take care of everything for you.  When listening to a mix how can you tell if it’s the talent of the DJ or just the software.

I think there possibly may be a 4th method on how to get gigs and I am struggling with myself wondering if I should share it…

I’m going to have to think about it maybe I will maybe I won’t because no one is doing it right now and it involves mad skills other than those needed to rock a party.
