Christian Marclay - experimental turntablism

Before the first hip-hop turntablists there was Christian Marclay. Marclay's work explores connections between sound, photography, video, and film. A pioneer of using gramaphone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collage, Marclay is, in the words of critic Thom Jurek, perhaps the "unwitting inventor of turntablism." His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the mid-1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop's use of the instrument.



I've seen him performing in Sonar'05 and it was quite impressive...

Down in the hole - DoMaJe

Here's a new section, furthermore than videoclips, I'm going to post also good songs that are being used as opening theme for TV series...
the first one, a remix made by DoMaJe of the clasic song "Down in the hole". If you like the song, search for the version of The Blind Boys of Alabama, it's pure blues but full of groove.
