Skratch Bastid, The Entertainer mix
» No, the actor who played Biff is not attempting to DJ.
Anyone remember the movie The Frighteners?
Much like Skratch Bastid's 110% mix from '09, The Entertainer is just under an hour's worth of of seemlessly blended DJ wizardry. Bastid has little issue with mixing Naughty By Nature over Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner", pretty much beating Girl Talk to the punch. But that's the extent of the comparison, as Bastid is a legitimate DJ with an artillery of scratches, juggles and remix techniques on wax far beyond Gillis' laptop skill set.
It's a damn crime more DJs do not drop mixes like this. It's a lost art that was poisoned by the high art of turntablism and eventually the mash-up monster that's thankfully fallen from grace. Perhaps Bastid can help usher in a return to the golden era of mixes that rekindles a fondness for the crate treasures and the refinement of being a true master on the wheels of steel.
