Scratching

Hi All,

Have any of you tried scratching in your sets?

I have been doing it for about 18 months now & i'm starting to get some really good results.

I'd be interested in hearing some of your stuff & i'd post some of mine if I could figure out how to do it.... Can anyone advise?

Neo

type the word "scratch" in the search field

you'd be surprised as a mother******

I sometimes scratch my bum when I am sleeping.. but I wake up witha stinky finger

If its house and trance I really hate the sound of it. The only set Ive heard that has had scratching in it was a Techno one and it sounded alright. Nothing spectacular.

Oh man I'm going to use up this thread

I LOVE scratching to any type of EDM



My buddy Micheal Conway does it. He's freaking beast and deserves some props.

He has this signature scratch of his...I think it's his own version of a scribble. It goes so well with everything.

Man I'm a college student with some decks in my apartment....every single fucking time I have guests over the first question is "omg do you scratch?" GAH! I make a big show of it and throw on some zabiela mix pretending to be doing all the scratches and feedback loops and other such magic on my str8-60s.

Scratching sounds good over just about any kind of music as long as you can scratch and its used appropriatly... iv been scratching for a long time now and i love it... it hads something new to the music. i used to be one of those DJs who just used to stand there and wait 6 mins for a track to end so i could mix out.. boring as fuck. plus i mix breaks so scratching sounds good over it anyways

I just cannot for the life of me trying, find a good record with samples on it. Ive listened to loads...but none of them seem to have the rite samples for me to get used to and be able to use. Any recomendations?? The standard AHHH wud be cool. Lemme Know

You're supposed to use battle breaks records like Superseal or Dirtstyle that are specifically for scratching. Check it out. AHHHS and and FRESHs galore.

That's really funny...

Eddie Halliwell.


That's all I have to say on the matter at this precise moment in time.

anyone who likes scratching and techno should listenin to this guy rip!! Really is something else. I havent long listened to a set of his for the first time (knew of him just never checked out his style). I was shocked. I didnt think that sorta scratching was possible!

Any sets you would recommend from this guy? I saw a video of him scratching, it was pretty hot

Michael Conway pisses in Halliwells mouth.

Ive heard PREACH do some scratching..maybe dave clarke

techno sets have some scratching but not much

b4 i left my vinyl at home for college... (cry), I bought some Crystal Method and tore up 2 records scratching to the breaks.

hmm....signature scratch?!? I don't think so buddy. Thats just basic baby scratches with some release scratches. It sounds good...no doubt.

LOL it's his signature scratch because that's all he does no joke. Yes I know it makes me laugh too. It just goes to show that basic scratches done properly sound nice. No need for anything really fancy.

Get an LP. put it on your turntable. cue up a drum-hit, or a vocal sample, or a wicked break. Put your 4 fingers on the lp. press down only slightly, and move your arm and the lp back and forth (horizontally) in a rhythm. once your used to it, throw a cool track on the other turntable and get ready to skeet-skeet-skeet all over her face.

I guess you don't know how to scratch.
