Turntablism Meets Soul Music: Asian Hawk
Some turntablists have been criticized for lacking “funkiness” or “soul.” Not Asian Hawk.
A native of Bristol, U.K., Hawk has won four DMC U.K. Team championships as part of The Disablists and one U.K. championship as a solo turntablist. He’s also a talented singer and producer.
To put a spotlight on his versatility, DJcity enlisted Hawk to perform his aptly-titled original track, “Turntable Soul.” The two-a-half-minute routine includes scratching, sample triggering, and soulful singing.
Follow Asian Hawk on Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud, Twitter, and YouTube.

Watch DJ Manwell, Stro Elliot and 14KT Perform With Serato DJ and Ableton Link
At the end of 2016, Serato set out to find three artists to demonstrate Ableton’s Link feature with Serato DJ. DJ Manwell and hip-hop producers Stro Elliot and 14KT answered the call and put together an impressive routine, which is now available to watch.
Ableton Link is a wireless technology that keeps devices in time over a local network, so artists can “forget the hassle of setting up and focus on playing music.” DJs, producers, and musicians can sync with each other via Link-enabled DVS software such as Serato DJ and Ableton Live and DAWs like Ableton Live, Maschine, and Reason.
To showcase the technology, Manwell used two Reloop turntables and the Pioneer DJ DJM-S9 mixer, Stro used Ableton Push 2, and 14KT used the Roland DJ-808 controller. They were given three rules: They had to perform linked together, use their own music, and make a tempo change in their set. The end result was a freestyle jam session over a hip-hop beat.
Watch the trio’s performance above and learn more about Ableton Link here.
