Types of DJs

6. Turntablists

Turntablists, also known as scratch DJs, take DJing to an artistic level. For them, the turntable isn’t just a tool—it’s an instrument. They perform scratches, beat juggling, and other complex maneuvers to create unique sound textures.

You might find Turntablists competing in events like the DMC World DJ Championships or showcasing their talents in live settings. They are the ultimate technicians behind the decks, blending skill with sound to push boundaries.

What defines a Turntablist:

• Precise control over techniques like scratching and looping
• Deep understanding of rhythmic patterns
• High focus on creativity and performance flair
