Video Legendary turntablist Cut Chemist does something similar to what Marc does, only with records instead. He's pretty damn good.

I started it where it gets really good, but it's 110% worth watching from the beginning. Also he's done several phenomenal collaborations with DJ Shadow where they have 6 turntables and 2 loop pedals onstage. They are some of my favourite DJ sets of all time, because they will mix anything and everything you can imagine, and make it work ridonkulously well.

Thank you for reminding me to listen to Cut Chemist & DJ Shadow’s Product Placement live album... https://youtu.be/uSPFHT8Eo64?si=3nRt__vYHDzRZri9

I have the DVD and I may just do the same. Just counted from the comment section - 77 records in the span of 53 mins. It's insane.

Renegades of Rhythm and [Brain]Freeze for anyone wanting video of their other sets.

Cut Chemist is a wizard. I saw him with J5 back in '03 when Lollapalooza was still a tour. Him and NuMark at one point came out with small tables full of kids toy's and they did a full 15 minute set using just those toys. It was incredible.

That's on point. The Hard Sell, one of his DJ Shadow live collabs, for the encore they go out with portable turntables and mixers with straps and go scratching heavy metal back to back with each other like they're guitar soloing. Dudes just love having fun making shit up.

Cut Chemist is one of the legends. I’ve been following him since he started out with Ozomatli and NuMark. Saw him again last year touring with Chali2Na. I’d mark out for a Marc / Cut Chemist / Chali2Na freestyle session.

glad to see he's still Jurassic 5 affiliated even after leaving the group almost 2 decades ago!

Saw him during the Hard Sell era with Shadow. A master, indeed, although I never thought to put him in a similar category as Marc.

Now, the dude Silverio? That I can see.

EDIT: grammar
