Bomb Hip-Hop helped spark the turntablist revolution in 1995 with the release of the first ever all dj/all scratching album RETURN OF THE DJ. Now scratching has gone mainstream, infiltrating rock & pop music and providing soundtracks for everything from movies to television commercials to video games. This fifth installment in the pioneering series features the newest & best deejays assembled from the USA, Canada, the UK, Italy, Germany and Japan. These songs showcase stellar dj scratching as well as creative concepts like Azzurro & Hashim B.'s guide to breathing techniques "Quattro Respirato", Noisy Stylus' tune about getting kids to eat their green vegetables "Broccili Wars", and the hilarious "Director's Cut" that features the '89 Skratch Gangstaz cutting up vocal bits from two action movie stars - Arnold Schwarzenegger & Jean-Claude Van Damme!

"A fine return to form for the Return of the DJ series, which has had so many well-respected turntablists grace its previous installments, the fifth volume of this long-running series dishes up more of the same in its original premise: to make solid-sounding hip-hop compositions with the art of turntablism and scratching as the centerpiece. Fast and furious cuts abound with technique that will have even the most seasoned turntablists scratching their heads and leaving them with several hours of homework to try and recreate some of these tricks on their own decks. It's a 70-minute sample-heavy excursion into the future of turntablism and worth every penny of the asking price." ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
