The irony is not lost on Richie Hawtin. As a minimalist’s minimalist, no electronic artist has done more for dance music by doing less. And as a technophile’s technophile, no electronic artist has made sparser sounds by doing more. Huh? Don’t worry, we’ll explain later. For now, though, Richie Hawtin is standing in a downtown New York City loft, a cell phone attached to his ear, trying to figure out for a friend the duration of a cross-borough cab ride. |

We know, we know, the term “best” is a relative one, especially in the competitive world of turntablism. And of course, of course we’re aware that there are so many battle-breaks records available that you can’t swing a power cord without hitting one. But with varying degrees of weight, recording volume, quality of scratch sentences, beats (some skip-proof), tones and verbal disses currently available in the bins, we thought it worthwhile to ask some scratch jocks what in their opinion stands as the all-time greatest battle-breaks record. |
