Whether it’s 2x Technics turntables or Pioneer CDJs, I bring my own high-end cartridges and vinyl to make sure the scratching stays crisp. If your venue doesn't have the console gear, just let me know, and I can bring my full hardware setup for an additional fee. Turntablism isn't just about pressing play—it's about manipulating the sound in real-time. I use turntables as my primary instrument, meaning I’m constantly beat juggling, cutting, and scratching to create seamless transitions that a standard controller mix just can't match. This approach is perfect for club nights in Bangalore, private parties, or events where you want more than just background noise. ### What You Get With A Turntablism Set - **Live Remixing:** I use technology like Serato Stems to isolate vocals or instrumentals on the fly, making each mix unique. - **Genre Fluidity:** While my foundation is in Old Skool Hip Hop, I blend in UK Garage, Grime, Drum & Bass, and Funk. It’s all about reading the room and keeping the groove tight. - **Pro Gear Knowledge:** Whether I'm playing at spots like Social or doing a workshop at an event, I arrive 45-60 minutes early to soundcheck. I know my gear—Technics turntables or Pioneer CDJs—inside out. If you want that authentic scratch DJ experience, you’ve found the right spot. I’m comfortable warming up for legends or closing out the night with heavy bass sets. Let’s bring the energy to your next event 🧨. ## About DJ Dwell I’m DJ Dwell, and I’m all about that raw, hands-on energy. If you’re looking for someone to actually perform on the decks rather than just run a playlist, I’m your guy.
