This
latest turntablist release from Bomb Hip-Hop, the label credited with the revival
of the dj (the Return of the DJ series) showcases the talents of the
collective known as Skratch Comando. These three DJ's - DJ Tillo, DJ Marc and
DJ None from Lloret de Mar (near Barcelona, Spain) easily hold their own compared
to other dj crews like The Allies, Beat Junkies, X-ecutioners and the former

albums released by US turntablists.

Hip-Hop culture and the element that
started it all - DJing, is no longer confined to the 5 boroughs of New York.
In fact the artform reaches way beyond the shores of the US as apparent in this
full length album from Spain. For many years kids from the US have been recognizing
and giving props to graffiti artists and breakers from Europe, now it's time
for the DJ's.
This latest turntablist release from Bomb Hip-Hop, the label credited with the
revival of the dj (the Return of the DJ series) showcases the talents
of the collective known as Skratch Comando. These three DJ's - DJ Tillo, DJ
Marc and DJ None from Lloret de Mar (near Barcelona, Spain) easily hold their
own compared to other dj crews like The Allies, Beat Junkies, X-ecutioners and
the former Invisibl Skratch Piklz. In fact, on record they actually outshine
many of the albums released by US turntablists. Unlike some other DJ albums
the production and beats on Incredible DJ's are just as good as their
turntable wizardry. The music is a perfect foundation for these DJ's to build
their precise scratching and beatjuggling routines upon. After a great intro
"DJ's Get The Fuck Up" bursts into play! From then on it's non-stop
wikki wikki freeeesh record manipulation. These DJ's cut and weave rare sounds
as well as various known vocal phrases like "huh", "ha"
and "pump me up". Some sections include the popular "Simon Says"
beat by Pharoahe Monch (with the Godzilla sample) spliced in over an ever changing
beat to help with the chorus. "Super Fast Track" is a super track
with it's b-boy inspired percussion break.
Not only does this album display Skratch Comando's scratching techniques over
nicely produced beats and interludes featuring live beatjuggling routines but
it also spotlights the trio's group effort. Cutting and playing various sounds
(trumpets, drums, shaker, bass) with their turntables and mixers to create a
live band-like sound on "Los Tres Magnificos (The Three Kings)", "Turntablist
Invasion" and "We Cut the Music". As an added bonus there are
guest appearances from Spains’ top rap artists on three of the albums songs,
rapping in spanish of course, making you wish you would have paid better attention
in high school lanquage class.
