You can use that finger-tip moistner stuff. They have different brand names in different places. I rarely use it though... maybe cause I can't find mine, but it works.

I've also found that cleaning your records with Gruv Glide helps a lot too.

lick your fingers like a quarterback with a football, then get yourself some good slipmats and maybe the plastic underneath!

: )

gruv glide def helps.

Wouldnt a finger moistener make your fingers more oily and make it slip even more?

I'll have to check out that Gruv Glide.

wel i find some certain hand creams work, nothing that is oil-ish
or greazy. What you really want is clam hands, that swhat i find is best. Ha maybe wear mittens every 10 mins. or so

lick your fingers. That's the way a tuntablist would do it. The biggest example is Synister formerly of the X-ecutioners.

yeah, get butter rugs. I hear they are great.

At work, we have those plastic things that go over your fingertips, I'm not sure what they're called, maybe a thimble since that's what we called it in monopoly. I found that putting that on gets your fingertip a bit sweaty and you can get a good grip on the vinyl.

i use that sticky spray that reciever's used to use to make the ball stick to their hands more.

but with the changes in technology i started using tacky reciever gloves.

sometimes i just dip my fingers into my chronic jar and whoa.

Man who scratch ass my not lick finger afterward.

I would not want to shake his hands ......... :)

Anyone want a chocolate covered pretzel?

J/K. Licking your fingertips is the old schoo way. Before scratch I always like my fingers.

i need spell checker. Before I scratch I always lick my fingers. DOH!

"You got to lick it before you kick it"

Im contsantly licking my fingers when im playing, my hands are dry as fuck.

i think the more you lick ya fingers the more dry they become

my hands always sweat a bit when im playin out haha

Am I the only one gaining plenty of moisture from the outside of the beer bottle while spinning?

ahmahliquortoo

You ever smell your fingers after licking them?

I usually have someone like Katie Holmes standing next to me with no panties on, and I just insert about 3 fingers into her "magic triangle area" and bam! I never lose contact with the vinyl. It was awesome when her water broke!

use SORTKWIK, you can find it at any office supply store -it's inexpensive and it is not greasy at all. Don't be nasty and lick your fingers- especially if you're sharing a spot with another dj -he/she probably doesn't want your nasty mouth germs all over the cross fader N-A-S-T-Y!!!

Licking your fingers is nasty, and imo it looks stupid when a dj is up there licking his fingers over and over. Unless you're licking the magic triangle area (freshly washed of course) you shouldn't be licking and djing.

Doesn't it get all white and crusty by the end of the night?

nope.never been an issue.

- or are you talking about the magic triangle area? if that happens, she needs to go and see a gynocologist and you should probably look into taking some antibiotics...

get sewer slime

in place of of antibiotics :)

Yeah, all you have to do is go to a lift station in your hood and get a bucket full. Works like a charm.

Whats a "lift station"?

Is sewer slime ... slime "comin straight from da sewa"?

A lift station has sewer mains (pipes) that run into it, and then it pumps the sewage to a higher elevation so that it can make its way to the treatment plant.

Ah, thanks!

Here, this might explain it better than I did.

you learn somethin new everyday

straight frum da gutter!
dj gutter check them out sewer slip slipmats they are official

ditto

WTF!! hehe

I think I found the solution, there is a product called Sort Quick that bank tellers and people who count money use and it is for moistening the finger tips for dry hands, I had that same issue until I found this product. You can get it at Walmart, Office Max, or any store that sells office and stationary products.

10 years late with a 20 year old solution

Well I tried LOLOLOLOLOL
