Music for... Turntabling by DJ Total Eclipse

World champion turntablist DJ Total Eclipse (X-Ecutioners, AB Original, Funkoars) is a man of many talents, as comfortable throwing down a mind blowing routine in his guise as one of the world’s best turntablists as he is rocking a crowd of thousands in party mode. Total Eclipse brings his talents to the Opera House Studio soon in Nick Power’s Deejay x Dancer.

This ‘Music for...’ playlist samples his many influences as a producer and DJ, spanning soul, funk, jazz and pop. It paints a picture of a kid growing up in Brooklyn playing with his father’s vinyl collection, before becoming a world-renowned turntablist, famous for cutting up and sampling some of these very tracks. 

“Prince was one of the most phenomenal artists that ever lived. The way this song was composed with the electric feel of a synthesizer keyboard, Drum Machine and hypnotic guitar riff captures the experimentation in such a subliminal way. Socially conscious lyrics I abide by as my daily affirmation of character. A pure genius at his best. Mystic at its finest.”
