DJ PLATURN | JOURNEY INTO SOUND

This CD showcases what you can expect from a DJ Platurn live show:
A wide variety of hip-hop, funk, reggae, breaks, old-school cuts, and blend routines all expertly mixed like a real DJ should, and topped off with just the right scratches to complement the music. It’s a throwback to the wide array of skills that used to be expected of DJs, and it’s a display of deep crates, serious music knowledge, and real skills. Like all great mixtapes from the past, this one is timeless.

When I asked Platurn for what’s really on the mix, here’s how he keeps it real:

“Coldcut’s Paid In Full samples, DJ Nu-Mark, The Godfather of Soul, Platurn Blends, Kraftwerk, New York in the early 80’s, familiar reggae vocals, Slick Rick & BDP, Nina Simone, Relaxation a la Electric, the greatest Rap Group of all time, songs with no words in ‘em and a DJ’s musical ego on full blast.  Plus a few other tidbits in between.  Enjoy!”
