New 'FLUTINE' Video BY DJ Woody

Here's what DJ Woody has to say.

" A few weeks ago I was just thinking to myself how people weren't really pushing or exploring the pitch minipulation possibilities of the new generation of turntables (I use the Vestax PDX2000). With the new turntables you can get it to a point where it's almost like playing a keyboard, utilizing the 33/45/quartz/reverse buttons and the pitch faders. Anyway here's something that I recorded last week. "

You might want to pick one up after seeing this video. This is real next level stuff! Go here for the lowest price on the Vestax PDX2000.

To see the video goto www.woodwurk.com and click on Media.
