“GV9 SOULFUL WAYS: The DJ is a documentary worthy of acknowledgement for not only its creative approach, but also for the legitimacy it gives to the turntable as an

instrument of the performance.

Multi award-winning filmmaker Bob Bryan’s attention to the Art transforms his on screen shots, into a classroom chalkboard worthy of attention because of the sounds it produces.

Sounds which transform

our youth from the street to the classroom — a style and process worth paying attention to.

What is this thing called Hip-Hop and where does the DJ’s fit in? The answers to these questions and many more lay in the body of GV9 SOULFUL WAYS: The DJ.”

“GV9 SOULFUL WAYS: The DJ, is truly a must-see for those who have an appreciation for the ‘Maestros of Turntable-ism.’ With the technological advancement of music and sound from vinyl to computers, IPod’s, MPs, 3/4 Players and CD’s leaves one to question whether the art form of The DJ is lost. The infallible answer to this question is, “HELL NO!!” What this film does is allow you to explore the techniques of a Disc Jockey or in this case ‘The Turntablist’. The mindset of these musically talented individuals express originality coupled with being true to the Hip-Hop culture. Understanding the dynamics in reconstructing tracks & beats to manipulate the crowd, while never loosing the tempo of its hypnotized listeners requires a good ear, skill and precision. These fundamentals are only acquired through practice, practice and oh yeah, more practice.

GV9 squashes the myth behind the DJ, “just dropping records”. Maybe, that’s how it was before Hip-Hop. Thanks to the producer Bob Bryan, GV9 helps bring turntable-ism to be recognized as a true art form of American music… Mixing, scratching, cueing, spinning, cross-fading, improvisation and free-styling, just to name a few. These techniques coupled with a lyrical genius (an MC), creates a rhythmic groove that will surely move the crowd.” - Troy “Pappy” Johnson, Writer
