turntablism

The art of playing the turntable as a musical instrument. Not to be confused with DJing, which is more about providing dance music and/or mixing beats. Turntablism is more about manipulating sounds and creating rhythms or even melodies by scratching and techniques using a mixer.

Not all DJs are turntablists, but all turntablists (with a few rare exceptions) are DJs.

turntable

Machine with a rotating center used by DJ's to play, scratch, and mix music. There are now CD turntables, so Vinyl is not the only one.

Check out the Pioneer CDJ-1000 CD turntable, it is the step to future DJing.

Turntable

When a girl sits between two guys and rubs their penis' outside their pants as if she were a DJ at the turntable. This usually leads to ski-poles.

Friend: Dude, did she give you guys hand-jobs?
Guys together: No, but she gave us the Turntable.
