This was how it was done back in the day 2 turntables, a mixer, real records and a bad ass DJ. no gadgetry just skillz son thank you

One of the best DJ set's on boiler room by far. Tune after tune! One of the UK's finest and worlds best! FACT!

A good DJ is like a poet, didn't invent the words, but knows how to use them and how to make something so beautiful with them, amazing set, THANK YOU.

Just to let you know one o Mr. Thing's regular digging places is the ORPINGTON RECORD FAIR in South East London, 1st sunday of every month. Not so you can go and stalk him, but to let you know it is a superb place to find a ton of rare vinyl..ok.

Now THERE'S a real DJ!

Entire mix is sick dude. Selection and flow is tip top eh

Great set! Especially since he is actually spinning vinyl. And 45's!!!! Soo coool!!!

Just caught this for the first time, and it ain't gonna be my last. The real fucking way records SOUL and tables. Much Respect. Namaste. Irie. Muchas gracias vato.

Amazing DJ his transitions are literally perfect and his selection is impeccable. Mr Thing is killer!

Ridiculously good set done by a very skilled DJ.

Excellent skills. Love how quick and accurate he is in everything he's doing. Pro!

Rocking 45's & keeping the set on point! Much musical respect man!

Mr Thing for president!

There's always something different to be had,just to break the monotony,and this is it...I actually am listening to this at 3-4 am,and i thought it was not going to keep my attention,yet I fast fowarded a couple of songs and it started rocking...Makes me want to start digging again..Yeah,like I have room for more records..

I watched this one for many times Big inspiration for me! One of the reason why i start to play 45S !!!!! Thank you Mr Thing and Boiler Room!!!

Went through the whole set, emotional!

Scratching on 45s. Bawsmode. Sick set. I'm now a fan even though I already liked his DMC 2000 performance.. #5 Joyce Jones - Help Me Make Up My Mind

1:31 "Don't Walk Away" by the Superlatives ('69)...the funkiest Westbound 45 since Funkadelic!

This is seriously impressive. Mr Thing is an absolute legend and this cements it.

I just flicked through 20 shit boiler room sets then found Mr Thing. Perfect tunes at sunset with a few beers.

This is so clean it's not even funny man, fuuck! Major props to mr. thing, thoroughly enjoyed this..

Dammit mans!!!! Soul is Pouring out my headphones!! Notice he's actually changing records, adjusting speeds, tones and there isn't a lap top to be seen. Classic!!

I’m just curious. I started DJing back in 1997. I learned on 2 turntables and a mixer and I used all vinyl records. I stopped playing altogether at the end of 2009. So I was around for the beginnings of the digital revolution. The CDJ came out everyone who used one caught a bunch of flack. Then a couple of years went by and those were deemed as “accepted” in the DJ community. And I know I’m speaking blasphemy here, but then serato came out. I was still playing when that made a splash. I’ve never owned my own DVS system but I’ve played on one more times than I can count. And while playing on such systems, I was still playing the same awesome tracks (minus the sound quality of vinyl), I was still beat matching by ear, scratching and juggling. I was even playing one song after the next as seen here. Lol.... so besides the addition of their being a “sync” button or quantize button being available, what’s the deal w all of the hate w today’s DJ’s? I’m sorry if this is an ignorant question but I’m really trying to wrap my around this. I see it posted everywhere, literally.

man Mr. thing took me back to how learn to dj and still use my ttb this are my babies. pure flawless set. spendid job Mr. Thing thank you for re-inspired and awaken my love for djing.

I never really understand this place dope djs ill crates. But the people in the room are like on there phones and shit never really see anyone really feeling the music and having mad vibes more vibes going on I'm my bedroom then this place.... big up Mr thing got mad props as a dj and a crate digger..

+David Jewell I getcha mate...I remember a few years back MrThing was wearing one of those tshirts that stated "This is not a spectators sport".... Now I can appreciate the real 'heads' just quietly bugging out to this in a corner of the room.... Or banging there heads!! But some 'hangers' on will be there to look cool when they dont really have a clue... Now thats okay as long as they 1- dont talk shit thru the set loudly .. 2- Turn there phones onto silent... 3- By that Dj a well deserved pint of london pride.... BUT you can genuiely see the crowd digging this and dancing ... MrThing doing his good thing as usual.... One of longest serving djs in UK HIPHOP history... Humble turntablist too! Peace ;)

+David Jewell Boiler room isn't a place that's why. They just organise events at different places. To get tickets you just RSVP when they put something up on social media etc. You don't even know who you're going to see half the time... So you get the wrong crowd for the wrong DJ and all the problems associated with that.

Great set for organizing my record collection!

Mr. Thing, Jazzy Jeff and Bonobo, in my humble opinion, the best so far on Boiler.

Hands down the cleanest set I’ve seen on boiler room.

perfect set, amazing!

what a brilliant set! this dude is sharp on the decks!

Awesome dj set

Amazing set.

Mr Thing is one of a kind. Stays busy jamming and juggling. Loved every moment. The mixing, scratch, the funk and soul. God Bless this man. If anyone has any recommendations of other deejays with same style and music set please pass on the info. Much appreciated in advance.

Thank you boiler room and shazam/soundhound
