The most common set-up you will see in a club or at a festival is the iconic Pioneer CDJs (usually 2-4) and a Pioneer DJM-900 mixer. While many top performers may not utilize all the features and possibilities that this set-up offers, we’ve found someone who does. Yamato is a Japanese DJ who is lighting fast and precise on the 1s, 2s, 3s,and 4s.
His set blends a variety of progressive and electro house while keeping at least two decks live at a time. What’s really interesting about his set is his use of on-board effects, looping, and the implementation of the Pioneer RMX-500. Watch his performance of “Black” and read what’s happening behind the decks.
YAMATO actually was involved with the design of the CDJ-2000s, so it’s no surprise the man has complete control over his decks.
Pioneer’s RMX-500 is a great tool for adding external, unique effects to the entire mix. Support DJTT and pick one up today!
Have a unique and interesting routine you want to share? Let us know about it!
Anyone know where to get that flash drive?
A master no doubt ! I love how he touches the screen to guide his finger when setting loops, seen this for the first time; dpot on!
I saw him play under the 2014 Burn Dj Contest in Tokyo. He had a pretty amazing set. Even though I don’t always like his choice of songs.
Interesting scratch technique, other than that i find stuff like this boring as hell
Crazy mad.
Normally, I’m not into routine move, but this one is awesome. Different from the other because it’s not hip hop scratch work. 🙂
this video does not exist…. :/ (german)
zenmate will help you 😉
Finally a routine I loved to hear as much too watch, too many routines today are not in sync, beats flying around all over … but this is TIGHT !
Except that the video shows a RMX-1000 😉
Good catch! We’ll fix that ASAP. 🙂
