The Tower Records site has a surprisingly good article on the new school of tuntablists at http://www.towerrecords.com/pulse/98/may/hiphop/scratch.html mentioning all the big names and some lesser-knowns as well. For someone (namely, me) who's got the X-Ecutioners LP, Company Flow, Return of the DJ, Vols. 1&2 and Lyrical Lounge (on mail-order), where's a good place to continue? I've seen the Rob Swift, Cut Chemist and Simply Jeff LP's around, but what about good mix-tapes? Another cool site, especially for those interested in turntablists and such, is http://dustygroove.com/ It's a Chicago store with great stocks of old-school, rare groove, soul, Latin and Brazilian records, with a lot of out-of-print items as well. I haven't ordered from them (yet), so I can't vouch for their reliability, but they've got over twenty volumes of the "Ultimate Breaks & Beats" series, for $8.99 each or the whole set for $199.95 (tempting...!) .JohnBush.
