On Saturday night Craze and Skratch Bastid put on a clinic on real DJing in Toronto. It was a truly incredible night that blended turntablism with a party vibe. One of the first things you’d notice when walking into the event was the multiple screens displaying a close-up view of the DJs’ mixers. I’ve been saying for quite sometime that more…
