I'm a fan of hearing Premier spin records since first hearing him on radio back when he had his own show on WBLS FM, New York. He seems to bring together many traditional elements of skill, technique and understanding of how to break records in his sets, a great display of the defining elements of a hip hop DJ. From the sets I've heard from Premier, I think what he plays describes his taste for raw sound, sampling, tight lyrics and creativity in hip hop music, somewhat of a reflection of what is felt in his production.
This will most likely be a mix you'll want to save to look back on for years to come. Witness one of hip hop's finest turntablists at work. (From DJ Scratch on Twitter)

Bonus: here's a few exclusive shots of Premier's studio by DJ Semtex from the UK, a space that birthed a bunch of classics
