DJ Tech Innovations: Fretless Faders
The “fretless fader” is an innovative device that can be moved up and down to adjust the pitch of a MIDI turntable. Though it first appeared in a video from John Beez in 2009, the fader continues to evolve and is now available in various forms.
On this episode of Tips and Tricks, Mojaxx meets up with former DMC World Supremacy Champion Ritchie Ruftone to learn more about the invention and see it in action.
Essential DJ Gear for Portable Scratching
If you said five years ago that scratching with portable belt-drive turntables would be the trend in turntablism in 2016, people would’ve laughed you out of town. It’s happening, though, and DJcityTV’s Mojaxx has been researching the gear required for cutting on the go. Watch above as he travels to a mountain in Scotland to see world champ Ritchie Ruftone in action and review the tools of the trade.

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.
