hi its kule here again. i havnt been on in a while because i hav been exploring new edges of v dance scene. recently i have entered the phase of scratching. but, i was wondering what turntablism is?
from what i have gathered it is like using the turntable as an "instrument" to play around with sounds on the decks, rather than just mix it in. can someone please help me out here. cheers

Turntableism is well scratching for the most part.There are a few new tables that have come out that are cutting edge as in turning peoples veiws around about actually calling a turntable an instrument.Check out the QFO and I believe its called the controler form vestax,premo stuff
