ON sunday, the second day P-Sticks visited the Namm show, I witnessed some amazing acts of turntablistic deformations.  This was seen by many a passerby.  Located in the Numark booth was circuit city salesman and turntablist destroyer Eddie Def.  He was selling the Numark wares.  The Numark booth, Mr. Def informed me, was the only booth with two wheels of steel and a Numark rip off of the Vestax 05 pro mixer, user friendly.  The only booth with playable turntables  and mixer.  It was crazy.  Any average day joe could bust on up and lay down their own jacked crab techniques.  I myself watched as Eddie Def and his culprit on vinyl, Cue tear out mass crazy noises, cuts, juggles, 

and destroyed sounds.  Then after awhile, when things quieted down, P-Sticks jumped on up to the one and the two to flex his skills for his fellow Djs.  P-Sticks laid down some traditional transformer cuts and a few busted up lazy crab scrapes.  Look out DMC dj competition.

Across the way in the Vestax booth, there was an 8X11 black and white photo of the most intense looking group of turntablists.  With heads shaven, they resembled the rogue warrior monks of the Shaolin temple.    The photo was of the Invisibl Skratch PiKlz.  there was a list of times when these mad  skilled djs were performing.  P-Sticks stayed around waiting for their appearance so he could see something he has only witnessed via videos.  There was five Piklz in attendance in the Vestax booth, Yoga Frog, he was mCing the whole exhibition, Shortkut, D-Styles, and Q-bert.  They all mixed, cut, and traded amongst themselves with precision like some crazy futuristic robot awakening from a deep hibernation.  Each one traded off one another, taking and waiting their turns, showing their talents.  Shortkut demonstrated finesse on two turntables.  Shortkut and D-styles did a little call and response routine  while Yoga Frog cracked jokes and explained various facts about turntablism, the Piklz, and the fabulous Vestax product line out on the showroom floor. Q-Bert then emerged and gave a scratch tutorial.  Yoga Frog explained the roots of scratching, from the grand wizard theodore to Dj Rhettmatic.  He also told of the various techniques of scratching and who invented them. Like the Transformer and how it was created by 1988 dmc world champion Dj Cash Money, or the Flare technique, invented in 1994 by the mild mannered DJ FLare.  Then Q-Bert would demonstrate the technique.  It was quite fantastic.  Yoga Frog hooked P-Sticks up with Q-Bert's album "DJ Q-bert Wave twisters episode 7 million:  Sonic wars within the protons."  Then P-Sticks talked with Q-Bert and D-Styles for a little while.  They were nice enough to pose with P-Sticks for a touristy photo.  P-Sticks ducked down so the shoot would come out better.
        Look at P-Sticks with a couple of Piklz.  The white guy is P-Sticks.  The guy next to him is the ferocious Dj Q-Bert.  The monk like guy next to Q-Bert is sifu D-styles.
