Bro didn't just scratch he scarily recreated the whole routine. Props. The kick pedal aspect is lit as hell.

This is awesome- seeing your home made invention (with sharpies and elestic bands, no less) played so well and Jazzy Jeff smiling broadly hearing and seeing it is an absolute joy.

Seeing was cool, hearing it was rad!

Part of his rig was markers and rubber bands. Absolute mad scientist rig

Straight outta the 80s! How cool to have DJ Jazzy Jeff not only critique your video and methods, but praise them too! Having someone of his status tell you how you understand the ethos, and bring it to life in an entirely new way, while retaining the essence of "old skool" scratching, is awesome! Bravo!

Jeremy would have melted the audience's faces off if he performed this live on the set of In Living Color in the 80's

That dude is soon to be 59 years old but looks and shows the enthusiasm of a guy half his age. Doing what you love must keep you young. Amazing skills on your marvelous machine btw. Mind blowing.

It's funny you say you have to post a comment before it got huge. Does it matter if it huge or not? It could stay at low views but that doesn't mean the video is bad. A lot of people.ake great videos that people don't see. The video is dope tho.

Getting that co-sign from Jazzy Jeff is like getting Steph Curry telling you that you have a nice shot, or Peyton Manning telling you "Nice Throw". That is the ultimate compliment.

DAMMMMNNNN...I've never seen DJ Jazzy react like that to another DJ's work. He was truly in awe of your work, the scratchin & your instrument. How in the world did you ever think to translate scratching into linear 2 in. tape?

Got a sharpie holding down the piece of wood he's using for crab scratches 😅 Love it.

Crazy ASF .. Imagine if in the 80s/90s all DJs designed their own scratch rigs that would've been a crazy tech boom

Reminds me of Flash’s homemade drum machine, of which surprisingly little information exists. There’s recordings of him using it but almost nothing about how it actually works.

Scratching with tape is brilliant. I didn't know that was even a thing, let alone that it'd sound so much like a turntable.

MATE! Why the hell is this not trending?! As someone who has seen Jam Master Jay do this live (and attempted to copy and fail on turntables myself), this was truly dope. Seriously, seriously dope. Massive respect to your technological talents, not to mention your musical talent.

The look of astonishment on Jeff’s face is a beautiful thing

As a DJ, and a lifelong fan of Jazzy Jeff, which is my #1 DJ idol as well, it is something when you can blow away even him. Great work done here

All the 80s babies in here smiling big. We appreciate y'all for bringing it back ❤

I love how as soon as you started he sat up like "hold up, this kid's got something" well done man, what an absolutely genius idea!

This was super cool to see on so many levels. You being able to show such a sick homage to someone else’s work, in a unique manner that you invented, for them to witness and genuinely have that kind of reaction…that’s some special stuff right there. Kudos on absolutely everything that went into this and I’m so happy you got to have such a special moment to remember. Thank you for sharing and to Jazzy Jeff for giving permission to do so. Stay creative!

This is one of those turning points in music even if the tech is over 30 years old (much older lol), this is revolutionary, a truly genius idea 🔥🔥💯

That was NUTS!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Yo! he can be an attraction at ANY Djing Event or Any Classic hip hop event... #Genius 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾👍🏽

DJ Jazzy Jeff such a true legend and always a class act.

Man how can you not just smile while watching this. Must feel amazing to see Jeff react like that.

My jaw hurts from the fall! That was ridiculously cool! Not only is the machine killer but your skill/rendition was next level! And congrats on the certified legit complement! 💯

This is by far one of the cooliest things ive ever seen on youtube

I found this guy a long time ago. I was amazed that he had the enthusiasm to take the time and build this thing and keep at it. He could have just went out and bought some tables. He has like 3 or 4 different prototypes. It's nuts. When I first started scratching I would steal the turntable from my parents old console stereo and had to put penny's on the needle head just so it wouldn't skip. If your into people being creative look on you tube fir a guy from Arizona scratches on a boombox cassette. He uses 2 of them to mix and scratch. Sounds kinda good too. Dj craze found him and was mind blown. How the hell does he keep the cue? He even does back and forth. Always loved the scratch sound.

I watched this with jaw agape. It sounded 100% flawless--not only was the scratching perfect, I couldn't tell I wasn't listening to vinyl. Just all of the wow.

ONE YEAR LATER!! So glad DJJJ was cool with putting this out! it was such a thrill to have this unplanned interaction and "reaction video" unfold right before us during the meeting. It was truly amazing!!

Those twiddles and crabs sound so good that that crazy sharpie device you made! So sick.

Seen this year's ago. Dope as hell. Someone give him a job asap

this is intensively cool having Jazzy Jeff react is just icing on the cake, gnarly

Jeff's face is priceless! That's an awesome creation.

Jeff is dope AF. He really seems to embrace technology. Over the holidays I watched his live streams like crazy and Nu-Mark challenged him to an all vinyl set. It was enjoyable but you could tell he was a little out of his comfort zone. I haven't peeped his rig close enough to see if he uses them but you don't even need needles when scratching vinyl in Serrato now. Keep doing what you're doing. Try not to get too lost in perfecting all the super subtle characteristics. Jeff was impressed enough with the older version without the weighted playheads.

Doooood- that was phenomenal! Seems like you have the "soul" of a true DJ! And to see Jazzy Jeff's off-the cuff reaction like that was fantastic! Keep doing what you're doing!

I did not know what to expect. That was certainly impressive, props for your ingenuity. Dope.

Life long DJ and Audio engineer here to say - You blew my mind. Amazing.

Insane unique scratching and so good of Jazzy Jeff to spend time and be positive about it

1.8k views, 125 thumbs up! To be honest, should be like 1000 times what it is. Amazing scratching machine and like Jazzy Jeff said, wow you are a genius!

Turntablism already blows my mind and to see this!!🤯🤯 this man’s a genius for real

This is creative as hell!

That was so cool! I guess I thought you were going to be working with reel-to-reel, but I wasn't sure what to expect really when the video started. Then you started doing your thing and I was so blown away. It was also cool to watch DJ Jazzy Jeff's reaction when you started going as well. Kudos to you! It was a privilege to get to watch that. And I'm happy for you that you got that rad moment with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff.

This is insane!! So refreshing to see continuous innovations for the DJ artform, Kudos!

So cool. Love seeing such an unexpected pairing of people come together to celebrate such a cool art form. I just hope real DJ-ing and turntablism don’t become lost art forms.

Dude, tying together art and an engineering mind in such a bad ass way. Kudos to ypu, for reals.

Completely blown away as Jeff was by your tape routine. So happy for you to have this well deserved moment. Props man

Love how the tape quality gets crappier and crappier with each pass on the head. Very neat.

This is about the coolest thing that can happen to a musician! Jazzy is such a cool dude!

I'm so happy you exist! Thank you.

This is amazing dude I love it and Jazzy Jeff loving it is even better!

Talent, my hat is off to you for inventing this device. Like Jeff said, Genius!!!

Dude....that not only was off the hook.... but it brought me back to a good time in my life..

Came over from IG reels snippets, cuz the short version just doesn't do the clip + reaction justice. Flowers given and flowers deserved! Can only imagine having the icon in the field that must have had an massive influence on your passion, be the one who gives them to you?👏👏

Keep going! I couldn't stop smiling whilst listening

It’s wonderful to see how HipHop has touched people’s lives. This is absolutely awesome.

this is one of the most inventive things i’ve ever seen. thank you for your contribution to this space! decades later, and there are still tricks to be learned. 🙂

Oh my GAWD!! This dude is a freakin genius and clean on the…tape/wheels. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

this makes me smile.turntablism was huge part of my life when i was younger.

This is absolutely amazing, and even moreso that I'm one of the first 78k to see it, this video is bound to end up with double digit millions of views, definitely a moment in history!

This man is an actual engineer!! He built a contraption hip-hop macros, the turn table shortcuts.

Bringing the tape back from the past into the future , understanding the flow and the technique of scratching Skills . Keep discovering the Gifts we have This is definitely gift from above. Keep on flow Amazing skills 🔊🎶🎶🎶🎧🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

It's like watching someone play a homemade trumpet, but it sounds exactly like a guitar solo. You are a genius for being able to take resulting sounds and patterns from one form, and use an entirely different form to reproduce them, and the experience of producing them as an artist. It's like reinventing the paint brush to look like a tomato, but yet it works just as well as the paint brush. In fact, it works better...you don't have to destroy vinyl. You can still get the analog feel for the turntables, as the DJ, not removed from it by technological advances of the last 2 decades...a real tactile control, much like an old muscle car, without the safety of traction control and anti-lock brakes; you're in control, for better or worse. And still getting to experience this active and hands-on way to interact with your instrument, without having to sacrifice vinyl...you could really be onto something. I'm more than impressed. Oh, and you could scratch like a mofo too? Showoff...lol

Literally the most impressive thing I've seen in years - lets make this go viral!

Wow!!😮 How has this not broken the internet??!! 👏👏👏

Just another reason why the DJ is named first in the group. He’s such a down to earth dude!! I got to see jazzy Jeff in concert in 1989. It was fresh and def.

This is why america is a global superpower and cannot be defeated in any way shape or form. Truely incredible people. The world is a great place because of your efforts. Much appreciated from Australia. Thankyou

I felt like Jeff. What if did I just watch? Ingenious. This is music need heaven

DUDE! I havent been that excited over music in a minute! simply incredible

As a fan of analog music reproduction vinyl or cassette, this is truly amazing!

That ish was crazy.... Inventive as hell and a great open-minded creation to push forward a different approach to the art...

I'm 46, I was a hiphop promoter for 15 years and a hiphop DJ for almost 20. And this is hands down the dopest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I love getting in on the ground floor before something blows up. Amazing my friend!

I really hope this takes off, looks like a commercial version would be tons of fun to play with.

How f'n cool is it, that you blew his mind! I love seeing stuff like this, amazing work!

Thats bad ass. Amazing build and so cool that Jazzy got to give you the props you deserve.

Amazing technology at its finest!

Fantastic all around! As always pure, inspiring content.

I love it. This is brilliant, BRAVO! Can't wait for the next phase.

I'm right there with him. What the hell did I watch? My only experiences with tape are VHS and I had no idea something like that could pull off something like this. Cool invention and really good playing. I like stumbling on videos like this.

This is a great invention. I have a 92 new wave mix tape that is "warped". With your invention, tapes like those may actually get to be played, scratched and remixed. Nicely, done.

Thank God that this arrived on my feed. That was amazing, and seeing one of your heroes reacting to your work?! That setup looked like a musical instrument really. Having a header like a bottleneck slide, using your fingers on the tape like playing a guitar, even having a foot pedal! Amazing!

Jeremy your energy is infectious, unpretentious and exudes love.

Wow this is so cool. I'm so happy to have seen Jazzy Jeff do his thing, truly one of the greatest sets I ever experienced live!

Love it! The build, the skills, the reaction from Jeff. Lots of love from Stockholm, Sweden.

Brilliant stuff! Well done. Happy to see Jeff recognizing your talent

Dude I saw your clip on IG and I'm so happy there was a longer version. You are awesome and not to mention brilliant! And shout out to DJ Jazzy Jeff! Legend!

This is amazing. I look forward to seeing what you do with this cool invention

Love seeing yours and Jazzy Jeff’s studios in the back too, am geeking out

Wow! So innovative and fun to watch, glad to see Jazzy is having fun too, bravo!

Absolutely incredible.

Wow I remember signing up to your updates back in oct 2014, a little skeptical of its very early designs but Im so glad you got your product in its final stages. I cant wait to get my hands on one!

This is so damn cool. Congrats, that's gotta be an awesome feeling.

It is nice seeing Jazzy Jeff looking so chuffed.

THIS MAN MADE A KILLSWITCH FADER OUT OF BALSA WOOD, PENS, AND RUBBER BANDS. Hell yeah Jazzy Jeff is rocking an "oh crap" face

Damn. You deconstructed and reconstructed scratching in a whole different format.
