I've heard tales of Ritchie Hawtin playing multiple turntables (6-8 depending on who's telling) where he'd have tracks separated as stems into dub plates and do live remixes by swapping out the plates. The things people did before Ableton!
- cmrdporcupine 5mo agoI saw him do 3... maybe 4? tables? But mostly 2 or 3 decks plus a 909. Around here in Toronto area we had a local (Jeff Milligan / "Algorithm") who was famous for absolutely precise beatmatching, and often 4 deck mixing. Very minimal wonky/bleepy techno. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2083209238436343 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2083209238436343 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAthnDk7ZcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAthnDk7ZcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6EJOzGj4xM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6EJOzGj4xM
