I'm pretty good with a turntable.

I've been practicing at Best Buy, and I really want to become a techno musician.

Thing is, I don't know which is the best turntable.

Any suggestions?

Eh, the only one's I've ever had were 1970s vintage home units. That wouldn't really do what you want. Go somewhere like Musicians Friend or a Guitar Center and ask the guys in the pro audio department.

Okay, I'll try to get there

That's cool! You live in Molala!

I used to live in Wasco.

Population 300, plus me and my mom

I make techno using just the free demo version of FL Studio 9

Of course if you really want to use a turntable, go for it

 

I someday want to get a Korg Kaossilator Pro to help me improve my sound a bit, and also just because they're fun to play with x3

The term 'techno' is always pretty dubious but if you'd like to actually make electronic music you'll need more than just a turntable. And I'm not exactly the final authority on scratching/turntablism but in my experience, Numark's low-end stuff is worthless but their pro tables are really legit. Stanton tables are pretty nice but I don't know if I've ever seen a two-deck turntable. D: Guitar Center/Best Buy/Sam Ash etc. tend to have really sparse selections for two-deck-turntables-that-are-actually-worth-buying but their pro-audio guys tend to not be morons so it's worth asking them. I can scratch but I'm not a pro so you should probably just start googling things. For my personal music projects I tend to just program scratches myself and don't really do anything live but for a lot of musicians that means a level of dedication they don't really want to commit to. I use absolutely nothing buy my computer most of the time. (But I do have a funky jungle/breakcore project that has involved my guitar and bass before)

The best thing I can compare it to is mixing up bands like Gorillaz and Daft Punk.
