DJ Craze slams EDM DJs with new video

Hip hop turntablist sticks the boot into current crop of DJs

Hip hop turntablist DJ Craze has jumped on the bandwagon of slamming the current crop of EDM DJs with his new video 'New Slaves Routine', which dropped earlier today.

The video opens with Craze watching clips of Paris Hilton, David Guetta and Steve Aoki doing their thing as a sample from comedian Daniel Tosh plays over the top, in which he eviscerates the more contentious areas of modern DJing.

"You know why everyone thinks they can DJ?" says Tosh. "Because they can. It's easy. Pat your head and rub your stomach. There. You're an amazing DJ."

Craze then takes to the turntables to give us an intense display of scratch-o-batics with Kanye West's 'New Slaves', reminding us all what years of practice and an emphasis on technique looks like.

There's also a cameo appearance of Mixmag on Craze's coffee table, which appears to be a diss of our Greatest DJs Of All Time feature in which we celebrated the likes of Hawtin, Cox and Villalobos. Perhaps he's peeved because A-Trak nominated Jazzy Jeff as the best scratcher of all-time...

Check out the video below.
