...aaaand Cut Chemist does it again.

I've seen videos of Cut doing the one-turntable thing, and its about as impressive as you would imagine. A shoebox of 45s, one mixer, one deck, and a loop pedal....scratching and mixing....and keeping it dance-friendly. There's one thing to be said about the degree of difficulty involved with doing it LIVE, and then there's simply the idea itself, which is equally as nuts. Check it out:



Crazy, right? Then you have the full-blown mix CD, Sound Of The Police. Cut did a couple recent interviews, giving insight on the inspiration for the mix, the first time he ever did it live, and his intent to raise the bar in the overcrowded DJ scene.
