- When A-Trak (Alain Macklovitch) won the 1997 DMC World Championship as a 15-year-old, he changed the game forever by raising the standards of scratching and beat-juggling by which all future battle DJs would be judged. Here he is in an epic 15-minute showcase, scorching the decks at the 2002 DMC Japan Championships.

this is one of the great showcase sets of all time
It's seriously so good
Hi Michael, how are you doing, good I hope. Thankyou for all the hidden gems you post, your collection is dream material to a lot of people, good for you for keeping the history of this thing we love called turntablism alive. I just wanted to ask you a question. I believe that A.Trak was the 1st D.j. to invent & demo his very own scratch notation system. Do you agree or do you know otherwise? Also, what's your fav battle of all time? Mine 2 fav's are Dj Noize vs Dj 8Ball/ Shortkut or Akakabe vs Ie.Merge in the 2004 Supremacy final.
And his 96 -97 dmc as well
He has a quantizer in his brain, no errors in his set.
Few guys could perform this set
I wish I could agree. The set is fantastic, but the timing is certainly bobbled. I know exactly how hard it is to pull off, but it wasn't perfect.
@@JoeMamaBesser True, I counted about ~26 misses.
@@JoeMamaBesser I agree, it's not a perfect set. Not only is quantization involved in the set, this is what makes A-Trak underrated.
There are many variables involved, for me A-Trak is great at quantization, but it has flaws in other aspects, such as contrast (sometimes the change in tone or rhythm increases the power ) and disruption (somewhat unexpectedly).
For me organic is important.
His precision is incredible!!! Some DJs Juggle just for the sake of juggling and showing off their skill. His juggles are very musical and in context with the rest of the performance!!
I agree, I saw him play in dublin around 99/2000 and he did a juggle routine which quickly went from a hip hop beat into a breakbeat style beat. It sounded so good that many people there probably didn't even realise he was juggling.
I cannot stop thinking about 2:25 forward. Especially where he starts tapping the record. Sooooooo good.
True still young legend !!! When i was at Dmc World Finals in London he did a 7-8 mins showcase which is the same here starting from the Swamp Beats with Craze tool record, then Get Ur Freak on juggling and ending with the Kraftwerk loop tool. I remember how the crowd scream and celebrate every trick he did ! He amazes us ! You can see me in the back for a while in that Dmc clip hahaha!!! His precision, skills, impossible juggles and creativity still amazes me today 20 years later. Thanks Michael once again and ... A-TRAK FOREVAH 🙌🙌

dmc world champion 1997 legend
The musicality isn't compromised by the technical skills. That's rare in turntablism
that is because he raised up at the end of the 90's. The golden era of dj battles and turntablism, when musicality was one of the criteria to score a dj set
This kid, is very accurate and creative like Q-bert and DJ Kentaro.
💯💯💯💯
that "Grindin'" mix is insaaane, so damn good
Man! Amazing routine. 100%
I just gained a deeper respect for A-Trac 🎉 epic set 🏆
My favorite DJ of all time.
A TraK is amazing, his skills and timing is insane.
hes a genius for sure. i dont know much about DJ'ing, but I know a genius when I see one
Best Turntablism. ive watched. 2022. Salute
Awesome technique 🤌 and great rhythm keeping 🪘 Bravo👏
Pure class. Very technical and very musical. Perfect 15 min showcase.
Always good to watch ATracks Showcases. He put so much time into these routines, in the same way short, q and mmm used too. This might be one of the freshest and cleanest versions, there's a tableturns one which is incredible also! The kid was a beast.
Flipping that cross fade guys amazing ,,respect from UK🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥
damnnnnn amazing how flips those Neptunes records
Always bringing the rare heat, thank you.
He was too young and effortlessly good back then.
So I saw his winning set from the 90s. Dope as fuck. Now I’m seeing this for the first time today and he’s just unreal. I know minuscule when it comes to this stuff on the true technicality, but his juggles are so clean and don’t take away from all the stuff he is doing. I’ve watched more of some of these turntable scratch contests and yes there’s still good stuff out there, but this dude is in a league of his own. And this shit is from 02! Lmao 😂😂. Unreal dudes so nasty. Come to Cleveland bro!!! Please come to fucking Cleveland!!!! I’ll pay couple hundo to watch u, kintaro , mix master mike, and Q.
Incredible!
Thank you for vídeo.
I don’t even want to feel sorry for the fool who hit that thumb down.
Looooooool
It’s true. Anyone ignorant to thumbs-down this performance does not deserve the privilege of having the option to judge it. A-Trak, 18 years ago, was doing with two slabs of vinyl & a pair 1200s what most cats would still struggle to do today - even with the gift of dvs. Game recognize game and if you cannot recognize the greatness of this set, then you clearly have zero game.
Classic routine
Iv seen ATRAK doin this routine several times still to win the dmc 1997 while at school says a lot Tha allies
Number One 🧨🧨
Very dope
Great i never see
Anyone notice. As far as I know. This art is lost?
No headphones. No laptop.
not lost, but technology has certainly changed the art of the DJ!
Dope
Dope dj
Wooow
I remember when A track whe he was younger he became really good trueout the years n is crew too like DJ craze DJ infamous what ever happen to DJ infamous anybody did he give up Truntablist I still see DJ craze around
Infamous is still active but as a producer, most noticably for Lil Wayne. He posts time from time on his Instagram
The guy who invented a scratch notation system, the 1st I believe. What a prodigy, hes so high up in his understanding of music. Lookin down at everyone else. Hes a legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥
DJ Rae dawn may have something to say about that, I have no idea who's in the right and really don't think it's important, many people probably contributed to scratch notation to think that the idea came from one person alone is doubtful
@@muggsyboykins4393 yes, you are probably right. A-team was simply the 1st person I saw do it in the late 90's but it matters not. 😁🏴
@@robinmcara793 Rae dawn has a video on his TTM channel discussing it if your interested
@@muggsyboykins4393 thanks, I'll check it out. Good looking on the heads up 😁🏴
Where are you guys getting this information?? The scratch was invented by Grand Wizard Theodore way back in the 70's Bronx New York
Used to practice that slow to fast 1 click routine all the time. Very difficult
Still amazing after that amount of time means it's a classic
Caramba Man Esse Final Ai SLK
damn that sh@% was dope!!!!
two timeでしょ、いまでも通じるからa trakが出たら絶対にchampionになるね、是非とも来年出てほしい! そしたら3time championだぜ関係ないけど、bullsを思い出したよ!
2:21 so dirty it needs a parental rating
commentが出ません、圧巻ですrespect、あの時代でeffectも限られてるのにskillがヤバすぎるanaloguであそこまでってヤバすぎっしょ!
いやマジでそれ。端から端までネクストレベルすぎて反応のしようがない。口が開いてそのまま開けっ放しになるだけ
Im still confused to how you manuiplatute the fader, Prime cuts taught him i guessing.
Esse garoto é psica.
😮
Bruh..... mount rushmore dj. Anybody dislikes this go listen to pauly d mixes
👍🤝🤔🥰🥳🥁🎸🎹😍✊
Anyone else notice that the break down at 4:43 sounds like Kanye West- Black Skinhead
He was kanyes DJ
I probably wouldnt be able to mix under that spot light? Pressure
instru 2:10 plz
I wouldn't give him that much but I would say he's up there DJ qbert of course DJ scratch Rock raider Mixmaster Mike jazzy Jeff cash money do we need to go on
He is on a class of his own. Q is good in scratching but Q can never touch A trak on routine like this and that's a fact. He is up there with Dj Craze.
98 battle he'd finish 10th. just saying.
?? he finished 3rd in the 98 dmc
@@MichaelShum you the whole of usa 98 were crazy good
@@MichaelShum 99 I ment
@@MichaelShumI still consider the 99 usa finals the best
Its The Best Without all the push buttons of now. so more Better n cutts out all the Fakes
МЕГА супер, просто бомба, ни наушников, нифига, метки и импровизация, завидуйте современные диджеми ))
