Enferno Live Remixes Just Blaze and Baauer’s ‘Higher’
When it comes to live remixers, Washington, D.C.-based DJ ENFERNO immediately comes to mind. The former DMC champ has built a reputation for delivering creative and impressive routines in recent years, averaging over 100,000 views per video.
Now, returning for his first solo routine since 2014, ENFERNO has flipped Just Blaze and Baauer’s trap anthem “Higher.” The four-minute video includes scratching, juggling, finger drumming, and piano playing — at times simultaneously.
The performance has even inspired Blaze himself:
Jeez @enferno..

Here’s a complete list of the equipment that ENFERNO used for the routine:

– Native Instruments Maschine MK2

Shiftee Talks Spreading Turntablism to a Larger Audience
Shiftee is considered one of the most skilled turntablists and controllerists in the world. But unlike some of his peers, the two-time DMC World Champion is dedicated to integrating both art forms with the club world.
During an interview with FACT TV at SXSW, Shiftee spoke about his mission to spread turntablism to a larger audience. Specifically, the New Yorker discussed his group with Enferno and mixtape series with grime artist Elijah.
Shiftee said that while turntablism is mostly about technique, his and Enferno’s goal is to make it more about the music, so it connects with more people.

Up until now, Enferno and Shiftee’s duo E.A.S.Y. has self-released their original tracks. DJ Craze has been a supporter from the start, though, and just signed their latest single “Pop Music” to his label, Slow Roast Records. Watch above as E.A.S.Y. performs the dream trap-influenced track on the fly, assisted by turntables, controllers and keyboards.
“Proud to have the homies E.A.S.Y. releasing ‘POP MUSIC’ on Slow Roast. A combination of top-notch musicianship and turntablism … This $#!T is plain ole GOOD!! Enjoy!!” – DJ Craze

In addition to being elite turntablists and controllerists, Enferno and Shiftee aka E.A.S.Y. produce original material that stands on its own. With their new track “Coming Around Again,” the duo combines elements of dream trap, instrumental hip-hop and turntablism in a way that has a similar vibe to Keys N Krates. Don’t get us wrong though, E.A.S.Y. has its own sound, and Enferno and Shiftee’s technical prowess is among the best.
