Week 42: Long Autobahn

The Long Autobahn is like doing two Autobahns back to back, but continuing through the sample. The last pullback of the first autobahn should be shorter than usual so that you can then use the second autobahn to progress through the sample.

Week 44: Tug Flare

The Tug Flare adds two extra notes to a two-click flare by adding an extra push and pull at the beginning and end of the sound, respectively. The trick to getting the correct sound is actually starting with the first pull back and lead into a two-click flare.

Week 45: Anti-Skating

Anti-skating is something most turntablists won’t use, but it’s good to know what it is and how it works. Knowing your gear inside and out can help you troubleshoot when problems arise and help you tackle whatever obstacles the Dj world has to throw at you.

Week 46: Crab/3 Finger Flare

The Crab/3 Finger Flare scratch is performed by snapping the ring, middle, and then index fingers (in that order) at the crossfader, creating three very fast clicks, separating the sound into four notes. The trick is getting the forward and backward movements to link into a continuous roll.

Week 47: Maintaining Your Gear

Maintaining your gear is an essential part of being a DJ. A malfunction of any kind during a set can be detrimental and sometimes hard or impossible to fix on the fly. Keeping your gear at its best will help you perform at your best.

Week 48: California Rolls

California rolls are crab flares performed over short-release babies or drills. They create a faster effect, but with fewer notes. Try mixing them in with regular crab flares to add some variation to the scratch!
