Hit: 5 Stars
Rob Swift proves again and again that he has what it takes to consistently evolve as a musician and thus, hands in yet another exercise is turntable dynamics, that fully explores the many aspects of turntable trickery. It would have been easier to deliver an album of precise Hip-Hop scratching & Mixing to please everyone. But instead he goes a lot further and produces a broad album with the turntable being the primary instrument. Sublime scratching ("Dope on Plastic"), beat heavy underground Rap ("Night Time"), A very interesting excursion, with Beat juggling coupled with a keyboard melody ("Two Turntables & a Keyboard"), Silky smooth vocal R&B ("Turntablist Anthem"), The sample-scratched unparalleled brilliance ("All this Scratching is making me Rich"). Its certainly heartening to see that something different has been tried here (and is so brilliantly realised), because it manages to earmark itself a totally distinguished album, from all the other (admittedly fantastic) turntable albums out there.
The Ablist Poster
As a member of the X-Ecutioners, Rob Swift has made a name for himself as a particularly progressive turntablist. Embracing his technique as a vehicle for expression like any other artist, Swift solidifies this bold vision on his solo debut, The Ablist. Exhibiting a jazzy, freestyle DJ aesthetic with roots in rap, hip-hop, and urban soul, Swift produces a unified sound emphasizing his turntable skills without ever abandoning the premise of actual song form. Swift scratches and spins his way though 13 stimulating compositions, enlisting the aid of rappers, singers, and other instrumentalists. While this recording maintains many of the old turntable traditions, The Ablist also points the way toward viewing this DJ as a thoroughly modern musician. --Mitch MyersDance & DJ Music CDs
