“Being a turntablist is a tricky thing. We’re expected to be artist, magician, athlete, and scientist all at the same time, and striking that balance is not easy. At the end of the day though, the one label we’re measured against is “musician”, and we absolutely have to keep that in mind. Because if we don’t, our artform will die. The hard truth is, after all that we’ve done over the past 20 years, the world is still not sold on turntablism as a legitimate form of musicianship. DJ’ing, yes. Turntablism, no. While DJ’s are now multi-millionaire rockstars, most people could care less about turntablism, and other musicians still don’t respect us as peers.”
