Ja, das ist mein cousin Hans. He never fit in with the other German kids for some reason.

Hey, shouldn't that assistant be standing at attention or something? I think it totally undermines the act that she bobs her head and watches the turntable.

If she was at attention, you'd get a better contrast between roles, both visually and psychologically.

That, or she should be dancing nonstop except when she freezes and then delivers an album to the dj.

Tell these kids to give me a call. With a little more practice and some up to date fashions, I think they have potential!

Its german, I cant tell from which source but it is probably a TV feature from the 80s. Search for Masterdon Committee on youtube and you get the dude who put it online. Go ask him for the source.

What the gyus is saying is what you see and here. He says:

"Punctuated stabs brings the hit Billie Jean on his journey. And on the left is Dons own record "Try to get you hot". He is now isolating certain phrases, manipulates, multiplyes, he slows down or speeds up, stops everything or cuts into another track....."
(Here was the writer of the original off text wrong, this would mean that he had to cut to a 3rd track, but this must be around 1983 or 84 so they didnt knew it better and the audience had even less knowledge) The text goes on like this:

... "A 3rd new original music track is evolving out of 2 already existing peaces of music. No keynote, no dur no moll, new musicians with new instruments are making new sounds."
