Ritchie Ruftone’s Routine for DMC Online Finals


 
Yesterday, we shared Vekked’s impressive routine for the DMC Online DJ Championship Finals. While we still believe it’s one of the best entries in the round, Ritchie Ruftone’s deserves some shine, too.
 
In terms of selection, the Scottish turntablist’s routine is the most forward-thinking of all the entries. The first four minutes consists primarily of electronic music, with the rest being mostly throwbacks. Of course, Ruftone’s technical skills are also impressive.
 
The winner of the competition will be announced on July 29.
