DJ Duct
DJ DUCT is known as a one-of-a-kind turntablist and a producer in Japan. He has been actively participating in Tokyo's hip-hop and break beats scene as a DJ since late 90s.
It was the time when the term 'turntablism' was first introduced, and the art of spinning records progressed so dramatically in the hip hop world. As he witnessed such advancement, and immersed himself deeper and deeper into the art, he began to wonder if he could develop a completely new way of DJ'ing using just one turntable, instead of two or more, which was what all the other turntablists were using.
DJ DUCT's "less is more" approach to turntablism have led him to establish his current unique style of performing. Using one turntable, a DJ mixer, a sampler, Kaoss-pads and other effectors, he collages and reconstructs the bits and pieces of sounds he captures from the records on the spot. It involves a lot of sampling, real-time editing, effect mixing and scratching, all taking place on stage. Since all the sounds come from the records (and no preliminary recorded materials on the sampler), it's definitely a live performance, and an extension of DJ'ing more than anything else.
