Winslow Porter: "The People, for the Record"
winslow turner porter iii is an up and coming dj based in nyc. not only does he create solid beats, he also does some more experimental djing - some of the cooler stuff i've seen. the sound in "the people, for the record" is like if a hip / hop dj started listening to house + electro and had some excellent production skills to top it off. i'm really into it, basically. here's what he has to say about his live performance (in the video above):
"I am treating my two musicians like records, keeping them in a cool, dry place. Actually, I am cuing, scratching and phasing them with the aid of vinyl control records...My 10 minute performance includes musical themes from the likes of Chopin and Aphex Twin. Each musician is isolated so that they can only hear the beat of the record that is next to them. Meaning that I can control each musician individually. My next goal is mixing entire bands together, each in sound-isolated rooms."
you're lucky for three reasons:
1. you can download a copy of his liveset so you can listen to it any time (there's a little clipping because it's a live recording, but it's still great to listen to).
