20 years Later this is the pinnacle of turntablism . Nothing since has come remotely close and don’t think it ever will. Simply the greatest performance ever .
I rewatch this every year or so. It’s one of those performances that keeps getting better throughout the routine. Absolute master class, I’ve never seen anything close to this level. Kentaro is a legend.
when i saw this one for the first time, i felt like: damn, this is how a dj set has to be done. it seems to be impossible to do something like that. there aint a second that is wasted.. it is a set that shows 100% skill. ive seen a lot of dj sets, but this one belongs to one of the craziest and best sets ive ever seen. respect this guy for this set!
is it just me or its like 9 nearly 10 years ago this set was produced and people visit and comment every hour still, got to go down as one of the best ever
i remember the goose bumps and awe i felt when i watched this 15 years ago. I still refer to this set when "kids" talk about DJ'ing ... this is masterclass skills still in 2019 and do you see a laptop anywhere, NO YOU DONT!! This is putting little stickers on where to place that needle. Dedication, practice, beat matching .... JUST GOD DAMN SKILLS! To all those who are discovering this for the first time, enjoy!
Vinyl世代のDMCでは世界最高峰ルーティーン!Kentaroさんのご意見どおり、DMCにVinyl部門を創設すべき!ハウスのパートに入った後のイコライザーを交えたジャグリングで針飛び！しかし見事にリカバリ～後半のReggaeへのビート＆メロディーチェンジはジャッジも鳥肌！ In the vinyl generation DMC, the world's highest routine! According to Kentaro's opinion, a vinyl section should be created in the DMC! Juggling with an equalizer after entering the house part makes a needle jump! However, the recovery and the beat and melody change to Reggae in the latter half of the season were wonderfully judged by the judges!
What I really like about this set as opposed to others is that it’s actually music. Some of the turntableists are technically great but they don’t have a musical or melodic flow. This shit is just next level.
This…. You can just listen to audio only and it’s basically like a single track all composed in two turntables… Definitely the greatest DMC Set of all time!
DJ Kentaro is one of the best Djs in the world......In my eyes he is a legend & this is one of the best scratch routines i have heard. Djs should learn from this guys.

@MrRuffnecks Have to agree with you there, this is easily the best set i've heard. It never fails to convert a skeptic into a believer! The problem with most technically gifted DJs is they focus too much on showing off their technical ability (almost as if they're trying too hard to prove a point?) and neglect the artistic side. Kentaro maintains a vibe throughout the whole set... And he makes the technical stuff look like childs play. That's a true professional.
i agree i have this video as well and Kentaro just straightout set himself apart from everyone else with this set .. and probably one of the best set i've ever heard from any DMC battles .. mad props ..
best MC comment ever-"What the fuck!" sums it up perfectly-the best ever-I personally really like DJ rectangle from the USA champs in 93(it's on YT) but this guy is the all time best IMO
The thing I like about Kentaro compared to other turntablists/battle DJs is that he doesn't just have crazy skills, it also sounds great and you can still dance to it. He has a great ear for good music.
@@produKtNZ 🤣🤣🤣 just saw your comment after I commented. Hilarious! No telling how many hundreds (literally!) of times I’ve watched this video. Used to have it on freaking VHS! But I never saw this comment until just now. If I had, I definitely would’ve commented already!! 🤣💯
i can't get tireddd of this no matter what LOL i think i've watched this a bazillion times already (and not just today but a course of many months loooool )
And with this, he became world champ in '02. Perhaps the most CREATIVE set I have seen of all of them: P-Trix, Craze, A-Trak, etc. He does not scratch much, though.
O.F.F.E.N.C.E. ! man he's crazy i saw him live before , and he tears down the whole stadium with his turntablism skills. it's a totally different out of world experience when you hear him fucking his shit up LIVE...
it skipped for a secon but caught it, i have this full vid and kentaro killed the competition that night. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was off the hook at the award ceremony. either or seen a lot of dmc competitons... this is probably one of the best sets ever. hands down!!
yes sir...you're right it did skip at 2.24 and he reset and executed his original intention perfectly. skip proof my arse! the best dmc set to date!!!!!!
Who the fuck can dislike 6 minutes of a genius of Djing performing??
One of the best winning sessions of DMC history.
Music Radar Clan baia baia... qué tenemos aquí? Jajaja, grandísimo contenido el que haces, sigue así.
Buenísimo, lo vi gracias a tu link el dejado hoy. Saludos, desde Chile.
YEAH WHO THE FUCK COULD DISLIKE THIS.
gran recomendación
he is untuned
@@alansigrist2026 your face is untuned😎
20 years Later this is the pinnacle of turntablism . Nothing since has come remotely close and don’t think it ever will. Simply the greatest performance ever .
It went downhill from here 😔
This is still one of my most watched DMC routines
On REAL VINYL at that!
I rewatch this every year or so. It’s one of those performances that keeps getting better throughout the routine.
Absolute master class, I’ve never seen anything close to this level. Kentaro is a legend.
@@bossmanfucktheworldall the good djs still scared to enter just incase he does again 😂😂😂
Best routine in the history of DMC his accuracy is amazing.
more creativity in 6 minutes than martin garrix in his 2h set
more creativity than martin garrix in his whole job .
more creativity than in all tomorrowland dj's together
more creativity than all EDM djs from past, present and future.
This was pre James hype days 😂😂😂😂 when that fool says he most “risky” dj on earth I send him this video
He won with this one in 2002. It is one of the best performances I have ever seen at DMC finals. Kentaro is incredible.
Agreed. His 2001 set with that disc with all the tape on it is nothing to be ashamed of either though!
Maybe the best DMC Final set ever?
Yes.
This is my favorite set of all time
You ned to see more routines
Me too. The combinations, pure skills, and creativity are kinda mind blowing. The announcer was pretty accurate!
or his 2001 set. I can' decide... :)
when i saw this one for the first time, i felt like: damn, this is how a dj set has to be done.

何度見ても邪馬台国で笑う
It's 2019, this is still my absolute favorite set.

Nice man
this is real DJ..
何度観てもすごいとしか言いようがない。。
this is so amazing, he's using the turntables like instruments, a true artist.
Turntables are percussive instruments

Who's still listening?
Kneesocks77 R u still listening?
Still hit in 2018!!!
Track 2:00 - GTS feat Loleatta Holloway - Jason Jinx Dub After 10yr seaching...i found! Kentaro is the best!
Five years that I try the title. I LOVE YOU
hi Danilo ! you are cool man! thanks im also cant find this track. you make a big help by this comment. thank you bro.

Definitely the greatest DMC Set of all time!
And here we have a piece of history, in 6 min.
never gets old..this was the greatest dmc ever imho
Easily my favourite DMC set. Just genius
By far the most creative DMC set by any DJ by far
100%, the whole thing is breaks. It’s unreal
当時バトルDJがいなかった仙台からよくこんな世界一のDJが誕生したもんだ
MusicRadarClan!
Awesome how he loses it a bit at 2:22 and still fixes it and makes it sound dope AF. Crazy skills
yep, record skipped, and messed up 4/4 beat... but he recovered like a boss :D
Only perfect score ever achieved in DMC history, and today is januray 2012. this guy is a legend.
何度見ても気持ちいい！最高！
I haven't watched this in about three years.....listened to it all again and still got goose bumps. The shit he does is mental!
DJ Kentaro is one of the best Djs in the world......In my eyes he is a legend & this is one of the best scratch routines i have heard. Djs should learn from this guys.
One of the greatest sets in history
To all those push button DJ's - THIS IS TRUE TURNTABLISM.
4:00 I can't even comprehend that, holy shit.
I don't care what anyone says, This is the best set ever!!! Funny, First time i have seen a video with zero dislikes, how can anyone
dislike this.

Oh man, this set is so sick. I just love how he incorporates and meshes those genres.
いつ観ても鳥肌たつわ
そうそう見たかったのはこういうのなんだよー
何度見てもすげぇ!すげぇの一言。
16 years on and it’s still top drawer quality
still amazing 15 yrs later
Kentaro = one of my fav Djs. Killed it!! set was from 2002 and I still bug out today when i see this set.
I've watched all the champion set after 2002 and still no one matched this set
I think it's unbelivble
DJ Kentaro live is awesome. He can keep going like this for hours
Best set ever
with out a doubt the best and most original DJ ever
何回も見てしまいます
You Are One Unbelievable DJ..... I believe you we're born to do this.... all the imagination and combination styles..... Keep Up The Good Work.......
Wow goosebumps all over my body, this is genius!!!
i agree i have this video as well and Kentaro just straightout set himself apart from everyone else with this set .. and probably one of the best set i've ever heard from any DMC battles .. mad props ..
This was truly life changing
still one of the gratest juggler i've seen
2022 and still makes goosebumps
3:40 - how does he come up with that crap??! UNREAL! this guy is pure talent
best MC comment ever-"What the fuck!" sums it up perfectly-the best ever-I personally really like DJ rectangle from the USA champs in 93(it's on YT) but this guy is the all time best IMO
That set from Rectangle is mental. When he picks up the deck and starts shaking it. The nutz!
@@JamesBrewerDJ my comment may be 6 years old but the rectangle set is as good as ever lol
@@swfcocs1 Lol, I just finished re-watching Rectangle at '93 US DMC. Gets me every time. Must have watched it 100 times.
You must have heard the "DJ Qbert in Paris - Turntable Drumming". That is off the scale
Undoubtedly you are the best in the world of all time.
Without doubt, I am your fan!
Roninho Dj__BRASIL
So clean.. sounds like an actual full on track!
This set is awesome!
unbelievable this guy lyk, by far the best turntablist to date..... say no more
Kentaro is off the chain! All his stuff is insane!
Yep
I love retro things🥺
arguable that he won 2001 also. That was also an amazing routine.
Every aspiring DJ has to watch this masterpiece
I love the bit where he juggles with the turntables motors off, so good 😊
Brilliant set. He was a solid third in 2001 then came back & killed it that year.
This man is really the king of the decks!!
Lovin From 5.00 till the end!!
"One of the greatest sets of all time. " Say it out loud and proud.
Best 6 mins ever beat the lot.
The thing I like about Kentaro compared to other turntablists/battle DJs is that he doesn't just have crazy skills, it also sounds great and you can still dance to it. He has a great ear for good music.
Haha does the MC's voice break at 5 seconds?
Aft6er 14 years and no-one has replied =_=
This was the final set - i'd be a bit rough around the edges too :)
Been loving that part for over 20 years!! 🤣❤️💯
@@produKtNZ 🤣🤣🤣 just saw your comment after I commented. Hilarious! No telling how many hundreds (literally!) of times I’ve watched this video. Used to have it on freaking VHS! But I never saw this comment until just now. If I had, I definitely would’ve commented already!! 🤣💯
And his “WTF!” right after Kentaro finished. 🥇💯
@@austinmonroe3894 welcome back then ☺️
he is my favorite so far!!!
love kentaro man...very innovative turntable choreography...true champion
Why do i always end up coming back and watching the vid ? answer because its awesome!
the finale was mind blowing!
i can't get tireddd of this
no matter what LOL i think i've watched this a bazillion times already
(and not just today but a course of many months loooool )
He is real DMC champion !
bomboclat from jamaica
big uo dj kentaro
I like him more because
He's retro
And have some melodic nature in him
So coordinated and composed
His set reminds me of those Benami Beatmania games that I used to play in the arcade in and in The Playstation.
Best DMC Set ever!
Just sick!! This set still stands up 7 years l8r
The greatest Dj performance of all time!
Till this day ! Stilll a banger routine to come with!
my favourite set of all time. this changed the game.. probs not for the best but it was revolutionary
not for the best?
semplicemente il migliore!!!
And with this, he became world champ in '02. Perhaps the most CREATIVE set I have seen of all of them: P-Trix, Craze, A-Trak, etc. He does not scratch much, though.
This is still the gold standard. 2 turntables and a 2 channel mixer. None of this button pushing stuff nowadays
え〜〜〜もう12年前のことか！
What he does from 5:24 is just amazing. Unique and in awe
O.F.F.E.N.C.E. !
man he's crazy i saw him live before , and he tears down the whole stadium with his turntablism skills. it's a totally different out of world experience when you hear him fucking his shit up LIVE...
it skipped for a secon but caught it, i have this full vid and kentaro killed the competition that night. even dopey who got third place said kentaro was off the hook at the award ceremony. either or seen a lot of dmc competitons... this is probably one of the best sets ever. hands down!!
awesome .. real awesome great
thx. for share this
Oh My Goooood!
Incredible!!!
immense! no other word for it!
What a master! Can't wait to see him in next month (London)
this is great his style is very unique
5:23
I love that
Regge ton sounds
Next will be
Apache Indian
yes sir...you're right it did skip at 2.24
and he reset and executed his original intention perfectly. skip proof my arse!
the best dmc set to date!!!!!!
That was SIC! Loved it! oh ya baby!!!
