The style of his music carries many of his past musical influences.

After the long wait (and lots of videos showing off the new features) Traktor 2 is finally in stores and we’ve got new media for the celebration. In this brand new Native Instruments promo video, 5x DMC World Champion DJ Craze performs a brilliant new turntablism routine utilizing NI’s next generation of Traktor Scratch DJ gear (with their patented Traktor 2 Technology), including the just released Traktor Scratch Pro 2 along with Maschine and Kontrol X1. Craze is nothing short of incredible here; effortlessly demonstrates the performance possibilities of Traktor Pro 2 gear by creating a live dubstep remix of Kanye West’s “Monster” blending it with Flux Pavillion “Got 2 Know”.

When it comes to matching the latest technology with world-class turntablism skills to produce next-level routines, Miami’s DJ Craze is the ultimate choice.

In this video, the 5x DMC World Champion showcases the power of the new Traktor Scratch generation by creating a live dubstep remix, controlled by his golden Technics turntables and two controllers.

Kontrol X1 is used to play a live beat using one-shot drum samples in Traktor’s new Sample Decks, while Craze also triggers various other samples and cue points with his custom white Maschine controller. A beat juggling section in the middle leads to the finale where Craze combines fast cue-point juggles and vocal samples with the integrated Traktor effects.
