Trance DJs that scratch

What's ur opinions on trance djs that scratch. Not many (if any) of the big names seem to do it. In my opinion scratching if at the right place with a really beaty song can sound amazing but can also be aweful.

I know Daniel Bailey scratches alot especially when his sets are more breaks inclined. And then there is Eddie Scalliwell (i know not trance) but does some great scratching ie his 2003 Essential Mix

it doesnt suit the really uplifting trance but sounds good over more techy/electro trance. Im sure scratching over Tiesto-Traffic would sound good. Actually Ferry Corsten did a bit of scratching last weekend over Rock ur Body, Rock. It sounded good if memory serves me correctly

PPK- Resurrection (DJ Jean's "Fart Scratch" Remix)

That is all that needs to be said.

James Zabiela does some scratching... but he's not actually a trance DJ.

scratching trance

DJ Thee-O from out of LA is famous for scratching while hes playing trance and whatever else kind of records he may be spinning. I've seen him live 3-4 times and he puts on a good show. He may not be incredibly famous but I think he's pretty good.

Yeah, but Zabiela also knows what he's doing. He's more of a breaks/house DJ anyway like you stated. He knows how and when to scratch.

eddie halliwell and daniel bailey (my two examples) know when to scratch

If scratching is ur thing dont hesitate to check out Bad Boy Bill

I bet they all scratch their balls when they wake up.

i think it's done right, scratching a trance track can sound really cool. but it definitely doesn't have as much use as it would in a hiphop track (duh).

Several Australian hard trance DJs will do some scratching over a track .. it usually sounds pretty bad, mainly because the hard trance track they're playing is f**king horrific....

It can be done well with trance, but nobody seems game enough to try it! Backspins also kick ass

Tom Harding scratches, and he scratches goood
he had a set at Crasher at Passion and it was well good. He plays HArd Trance btw.

you COULD do scratching in trance, maybe during breakdowns, before the track drops, and during the build up of certain phrases in the tracks. If practiced, it could turn out quite well, as i do like a bit of scratching (turntablism rocks!) but too much (like MC's) would be shit.

True true, it can add but if done too much can take away. As noted there are many who scratch once in a while. I remember the best I've heard really from trance was Johan Gielen at the last Trance Energy. And even at this years Dancevalley Ti�sto finished off his set with some scratching .And then there was the total DJ Jean F-up scrathing

Someone one did a remix of the Transformers themesong. I think it would even fall under trance and it's an AWESOME song.

I listened to qlimax when it was streamed live, and there was an insanely good hardstyle scratcher. I wish I could remember who it was, though (pavo? the prophet? it was after luna)

What does that have to do with scratching?

I was gonna say the same thing on Sound In Motion it was well timed and well suited, and Hybrid does it too even though they arent really Dj's.

Paul van Dyk scratches

Posted by slinkyhead on Dec-05-2003 10:20:

i guess alot of the trance djs just don't have the talent for scratching. Its never really been a big part of the trance scene, shame really
