Hip Hop Heads Up: DJ Enferno

Props to DJ Tech Tools for pointing out the below rather amazing performance by rising turntablist DJ Enferno.

Many of my friends ask me about the concept of DJ as a live artist and I’m quick to point out one of the many DJs who are taking “push and play” performances in a whole new direction that includes live production work, original instrumentals, and true musical skills instead of simply playing a recording with little to no skill required.

DJ Enferno is definitely an example I would use to quantify what the new breed of DJ looks like. Note his live keyboard riffs and beat making. All while mixing and scratching on his virtual vinyl. Yes– we call that impressive. Enferno is sampling (among other things) as his core track Kayne West’s “Clique”. The original version of that track can be found here for comparison purposes.

If you haven’t checked out DJ Tech Tools before and enjoy all things DJ in nature then you probably should get right on that. Great content. Great tips. Nice gear in their store too.
