Skratch Bastid: James Brown "I Got You (I Feel Good)" routine - 110%
As a promotion for his latest mixtape, 110%, Canadian dj Skratch Bastid recently put out the above video from a live performance of one of his scratch routines cutting up the classic James Brown track I Feel Good. Some points must be deducted for using Serato instead of real vinyl, but nevertheless a pretty tremendous display of dj skills. You can stream and download 110% for free over at his mixcloud page.
Scribble Jam enthusiasts may remember Skratch Bastid from his legendary (among dj nerds, anyway) battle in 2001, where he flipped a sample from Buck 65's Centaur into a recreation of the Star Wars' Death March. Peep:

I've never understood the appeal of Buck 65, but the instrumental is great. Pretty impressive to consider that Skratch was able to flip this on the fly into the Star Wars song:
