"My definition of a Turntablist is a person who uses the turntables not to play music, but to manipulate sound and create music."
(Interview with Christo Macias, Palo Alto, CA, May 1996.)

Turntablism is the art of creating music with turntables. This is not the standard cutting of beats here; this is the use of existing samples, cleverly manipulated, to evoke a soundscape.
