Okay. He's using old records to manipulate and create new sounds which are reminiscent of genres such as post-rock with the crescendos and is making an ultimately unique and interesting song while still staying original to a song nearly everyone is familiar with, which, believe you me, is not easy. Plus the fact that this is entirely mixed live with incredible attention to detail and precise scratches that don't take away from the rhythm whatsoever takes serious talent. And it sounds good.
I come from 10 years in the future and even today this performance stands out from anything I've ever seen from DJs.
Listening because I miss my Mom. She died at age 81, from Covid, at 2:02 pm on Jan 21, 2021. Moms are magical. Spend as much time as possible with her.
Very sorry to hear that
Lost mine around the same time. Hope you're doing as well as possible friend
@@jaceshaffer8104 I'm so sorry. I hope the same for you.
Listening for the first time in a decade, my best friend showed it to me in highschool and passed about a year ago. Reminds me of him
@@leftovernoise I am so sorry. You must be heartbroken. My heart is with you.
True art form of turntablism. No laptops (serrato) or any beat machines used for sampling. Just three turntables and a mixer. Real skill and on-the-spot mixing that not too many dj's these days do and that's why it is a classic
When we started turntabling we didn't have no fancy schmancy pitch controls. You had to spin the Schellack in the right speed. Kids these days are spoiled with their electricity and their "vinyls". If youre a real dj you only need two phonautographs a lead cylinder and some creativity.
it wasnt just 3 turntables and a mixer, he also had a reverb pedal. Still awesome though
That mixer definitely has some of the same effects
this is one the greatest moments in modern music history
well said
Seriously underrated. Kind of sad he isn’t mentioned in more “Best DJ’s” discussions.
becaus he is out of competition:)
i like the song, the idea but the execution leaves my to question why even scratch over it, just let it play this time
Those who know, know.
Genuinely.
Because he IS the best
This is hands down the most beautiful and touching performance I have ever seen or heard on vinyl.
I'm literally weeping
T G T 💫 🙌🙌
110% A+greed
💫 🍃 💛💛🍃
I gave him a hug afterwards and was the best one ever
2023 and im weeping too. this was and always will be amazing@@develupa
you're so lucky
Such a cool, happy guy. Every shot of him performing is a shot of him smiling, having a good time, playing for his audience enthusiastically.
Such an artist.
Koala puts the able in turntable.
I actually cried seeing his live
wuss
Tard
I don't know how many times ive come back to this video over the last few years, this is one of my favorite moments on CZcams, Thanks for capturing it Ankur!
I just found kid koala 4 levels down from seatching for someone else, from Ingenuity fest in Cleveland Ohio yesterday. So blessed and grateful! At 70, a Mom and G-Ma, this is one of my favorite songs. I had no idea who he is nor what he does. I was literally blown away and my heart broke open and my eyes leaked. And then, his parting verbiage, " take care of each other" put me over the top! 💜🎶 🌟
Angels all around and Miracles Never Cease! 🙏
There's DJs and there's artists, this guy is an artist, love the song.
Best video ever on CZcams. I cried.
AndyCassrol same here.
most tasteful DJ on the planet. respect!
how do you play a record like it’s an instrument? kid koala never ceases to amaze me. listening to his records always leaves me wondering how he’s doing what he does, but seeing it live only leaves me wondering even more, truly unmatched
who else you know who can remix a slow song like this? this guy is a God on the turn table
Good point taking a melodic AND slow song and mixing it is SO SO much harder, completely unforgiving... Like watch style dance, The slower it is the easier it is for people to notice your mistakes and the more it's related to Melody versus heavy beats when things don't pair it's so painfully obvious.
Just saw this live last night. Incredible... Can't stop listening now
So dope, saw him perform this live earlier this month. Was absolutely blown away.
Me too!
He was _absurdly_ good in Montreal at the Jazz Fest :)
lucky

There are times in your life when you have to stand in awe and just enjoy the moment for what it is. This is one of them.
The guy's face holding the camera in the background says it all.
Absolute skills, such a creative spin on a classic. Thx for the upload
Jacob Collier can't be compared to this version.
Koala's version is his own thing & still moves me in ways after almost a decade.
One can go into a loop for days by listening to both of these improvisations back to back.
In the end, it's a win for Team Music 🏆
that just brought tears to me eyes
Me too!
To this day one of the greatest routines of all time. I feel so fortunate to have seen him perform this live (2013 in toronto) and to say it had an impact on the crowd is an understatement - legit a whole group of grown folk in tears. Salute Kid Koala
It's still the most amazing DJ this world has ever graced us. Happy Mothers Day 2024.
He took that to a new level@that tone play solo?my head blew up!!BOOM!WOW!
Seriously tho. Best song. I keep coming back to this. Koala, you rock! I wanna hear you do more super bittersweet mixes of oldies ... I would give my left nostril.
10年前にこの動画を見つけてから何度も見てるんだけど、初めて観た時の感動は何度見ても色褪せないんだよな。最高だぜキッドコアラ！！ありがとうキッドコアラ！
This had me absolutely mesmerized... amazing.
Brings a tear, easily one of the greatest out there.
Just saw him perform this at Dirtybird Campout. Made me shed a tear, so beautiful
Koala is such a great turntablist. his stutter effect always fascinated me when i hear it on record. and hearing this is infinitely touching, as this was one of the last tunes my late cousin took the ride to at the place of rest, with a photo of beautiful photo of audrey hepburn by her coffin. a great tribute koala. thanks.
look at 3:45, the fascination and the joy in the man's face in the yellow shirt, how respectful and emotionally touched everybody is, this is truly a unique unique masterpiece. So beautiful to look at ..
I don't know- the kid loves what he does, and loves his mother. He's adding a new sound to a classic song to show it to a different generation of people. I don't get how that's so hard to understand. I love my mother.
Seriously, thank you for capturing this.
Saw him perform Moon River in London in 2005...never thought I'd be listening to that at a gig! Unforgettable!
I think I was at this gig, wasn't he supporting and had none of his records, had to spend a day buying enough vinyl for a set?
i personally believe turntablist 'music' needs to be seen.
listening their songs/albums is great and all,
but when you see what they're actually doing, even if you don't fully comprehend it,
it's like a hundred times better.
Cant help but shed some tears every time I see this preformed..... so beautiful...
This is pure genius! I love this every time I watch this video!
it sounds like when loneliness sing to the outerspace
and I cried
(sorry for my poor english I'm a fucking foreigner but try my best to connect to the world, to believe there is love and peace inside the human beings)
I felt like crying too
Best version of this online by far. Thank you so much for sharing.
Still coming back to this after 12 years. Still a masterpiece.
It really doesn't matter who likes or dislike his work, this man is really talented and passionate! and that, is over everything else!
Just saw this live in Victoria, astounding!
so dope...i listen to this at least 2x year for at least 5years now.....
One of the best routine I’ve ever seen✨✨✨✨
So beautiful it makes me cry
Such a lovely tune.
Thanks.
that is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
One of the most musical turntable performances ever.
This is amazing. He has got so much talent.
So so beautiful!
Pure Love
I remember hearing Kid Koala back in 2001
When I saw him live, he elaborated that his mom always urged him to be a surgeon because of how steady his hands were. However, in the end she wanted him to be happy and supported him.
The most pure turntablism.... gets me everytime
This is fucking magical
Beautiful
10 years of listening to kid koala, this brings tears to my eyes today. future classics most def.
