Während des Red Bull Threestlye Finale in Tokyo gab es viel Rahmenprogramm. Die teilnehmenden DJS bekamen reichlich Gelegenheit sich untereinander auszutauschen und auch die Judges waren meist dabei. Die perfekte Gelegenheit mit Größen wie Jazzy Jeff, Z Trip, QBert, D-Styles, Shortkut, Craze, Kentaro, Skratch Bastid, Grandtheft, Eskei83, Shintaro & Four Color Zack zu jammen.

Die 40 DJs Cipher, genannt iScratch Tokyo, ist das größte bisher da gewesene Event dieser Art. Das macht es nicht unbedingt besser, dennoch ist es eine ziemlich abgefahrene Aktion.

Der neue Pioneer S9 Mixer wird ebenfalls gut präsentiert. Ich muss gestehen, ich habe schon hart Bock auf das Teil.

This year’s ‪#‎3Style‬ World Finals were full of countless memories but this one was the business. So many DJS, from so many backgrounds, from all over the world, with the essentially one thing in common THE LOVE OF DJING. Since we had full access to a world class studio Red Bull Studios Tokyo, some of the best to ever do it, and with the help of our friends at Serato and Pioneer DJ and the launch of the new S9 mixer, we figured let’s try something completely off the wall.

We split 40 of them up randomly into 10 teams of 4 and assigned each team a studio session to make a beat and come up with a group routine. We gave them one simple creative constraint, lock in at 80 bpm. The teams all then had an hour to knock out a beat and discuss their individual parts. On Friday we brought them all into what was one of the craziest productions most any of us had ever seen. So mech gear! Each team was given a mini rehearsal/soundcheck and then it was time to take a run at this ‪#‎iScratchTokyo‬ mayhem.

This is the first and only take of the totality of the work. The feeling in that room at the end will forever be indescribable. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING PART OF THIS #3Style ‪#‎realdjing‬ moment.
