Information:
Below is a summarised biography created using Google Gemini in April 2026...
Total Eclipse (born Anthony Williams) is a world-renowned turntablist best known as a member of the legendary New York DJ collective, The X-Ecutioners. While the group was a powerhouse of talent, Eclipse was often viewed as its rhythmic backbone, blending high-speed technicality with a deep sense of musicality.
Affiliation: The X-Ecutioners (formerly the X-Men)
Key Achievement: 1996 ITF (International Turntablist Federation) World Champion
Style: Known for "beat juggling" complexity and seamless transitions between scratching and rhythmic manipulation.
Rise to Prominence
Total Eclipse rose through the ranks of the New York battle scene in the early 1990s. He joined the X-Men (who later changed their name to The X-Ecutioners to avoid trademark issues with Marvel) alongside DJ icons Roc Raida, Rob Swift, and Mista Sinista.
His definitive moment came in 1996, when he secured the ITF World Championship title. This victory cemented his status as one of the premier solo battlers on the planet during the "Golden Era" of turntablism.
The X-Ecutioners Era
As part of The X-Ecutioners, Total Eclipse helped move the DJ from the background to the center stage. He played a pivotal role in their major-label success, most notably on the 2002 album Built from Scratch.
Collaborations: He worked on tracks with Linkin Park, Cypress Hill, and Mike Shinoda.
Mainstream Impact: He was instrumental in the hit "It's Goin' Down," which brought the intricate art of scratching to a global rock and alternative audience.
Technical Legacy & Influence
Eclipse is widely cited for his mastery of beat juggling—the art of using two copies of the same record to tear apart a drum beat and reconstruct it into an entirely new rhythm in real-time.
"Total Eclipse didn't just play records; he treated the turntable like a percussion instrument. His ability to maintain a 'pocket' while performing high-level technical feats is what separated him from pure speed-demon scratchers."
Modern Career
Following the passing of Roc Raida and the shifting lineup of the X-Ecutioners, Total Eclipse has remained a prolific global ambassador for DJ culture.
Global Educator: He frequently hosts workshops and masterclasses on the history of turntablism.
Touring: He continues to tour internationally, performing high-energy sets that bridge the gap between traditional hip-hop and modern electronic music.
