Turntablism is the art of manipulating sound and creating music using phonograph turntables and an audio mixer. Beat-matching, scratching, and beat juggling are some of the elements in a tablist arsenal.
Turntablism is a subgenre of hip hop, emphasising manipulation of a vinyl record. One who engages in turntablism is a turntablist: A term created in 1994 by DJ Supreme, to describe the difference between a DJ who just lets records play, and one who actually manipulates the sounds of a record. This term was later popularized by DJ Babu (of the Beat Junkies and Dilated Peoples) who inscribed his mixtapes as "mixed by Babu the Turntablist."
Turntablist DJs use turntable techniques like scratching or beat juggling in the composition of original musical works. Turntablism is generally focused more on turntable technique and less on mixing. Some turntablists seek to have themselves recognized as legitimate musicians capable of interacting and improvising with other performers.
