Skratch Makaniks: The Future of Turntablism
Philadelphia has always been known as the birthplace of the worlds most innovative DJs. In the 80's, Philly gave us masterminds like DJ Jazzy Jeff & Cash Money. Each in his own respect, broke the rules of music by creating art with two turntables and a mixer.
DJ Excel established The Skratch Makaniks Crew in 2000. The members involved are friends that have known and respected each other throughout their years in the "game". Each one a veteran in their craft, the Makaniks have come together as the most complete DJ crew in the Philadelphia's hip hop world. Jay Ski, Sat One, Adam Bomb, Kwestion, Excel, Aktive, A.Vee, Spinbad, Bee, Jey One, Bane, Rab & Elixer are all well respected names in the music scene.
Today, DJ Excel & his crew, the Skratch Makaniks, are revitalizing that lost art and breathing life back into the fundamentals of hip hop, while adding a flavor all their own. The Makaniks are paving the way for the future of turntablism with new technology.
Since early 2004, the Makaniks have been experimenting with Rane's Serato Scratch Live. Serato is the modern day answer to crates of records. With this new software, the Makaniks have condensed thousands of records into a single backpack.
Of course, with new technology comes new method, Serato gives the Makaniks the ultimate music selection. No more sorting thru hundreds of records to find that throwback hit. Back in the day, DJ's were confined to how many records they were able to carry with them. Now, the sky's the limit. The software gives the Makaniks the ability to cut, scratch, or blend tailor made songs and remixes as if they had doubles of it on vinyl.
Seeing is believing, as they say, so it took Philly's own Skratch Makaniks to put the rest of us on to the new face of turntablism. If the Makaniks can still sound as clean as they do on vinyl, then this must be the truth!
Thus sparked the Serato revolution...You can catch all of the Skratch Makaniks rockin' the Serato all over Philly; on the radio, in the club, on mix tapes, on tour... the future is now...
