if the record is just breaks you can just drop the needle and go, but i
know some djs who have used the same record enough that they can just drop
the needle instinctively on the exact spot they want it... if you look at
a record up close you can actually see the character of the sound ... like
a quiet bassy part will look shinier than a part with a bunch of beats and
horns
maybe he was just lip synching though...
