The thought of getting up on a #tableturns stage with a laptop and performing routines i created on vinyl just didn’t sit right with me.

Through hard work and an ability to learn quickly my DJ SKills & Styles, section B, students have developed a great understanding of "Scratching". By no means should anyone watching this video assume they're complete Scratchers cause no one, especially not I, is saying that. But when you consider they learned their first "baby" scratch exactly 3 weeks ago, one can only marvel at how they're all interpreting a 40 plus year old technique in such a short period of time. It is my hope that watching

In 2004, Serato launched Serato Scratch Live and since then, this iconic DJ brand has been a part of every significant Hip Hop event in the past twenty years. I started using Serato in 2005, after getting burnt out from carrying two flight cases of records over twelve European cities throughout the course of fourteen days in March of that year! The first time I had witnessed a DJ using Serato was on the SCRATCH: All The Way Live US Tour promoting the Palm Pictures documentary, SCRATCH. The X-Ecu

At midnight, we celebrate the 20th year anniversary of SCRATCH. Directed by Doug Pray, this powerful doc. continues to stand as a symbol for how a small group of marginalized DJs can effect change by banding together. SCRATCH reveals how the authors (Grandmaster Flash, GrandWizzard Theodore, Grand Mixer D.St...) of DJing, passed on techniques such as mixing, scratching and back spinning to the younger generation of DJs (Rob Swift, Roc Raida, Q-Bert, Mix Master Mike, Shortkut...).

The primary quality of a Hip-Hop DJ is their ability to transform pre-recorded sound. While a standard DJ spends time searching for music to play, a Hip-Hop DJ views music as an integral part of their artistry. They do not use music solely to make an audience dance. Instead, they view it as a material that can be transformed through tactile methods, such as physically manipulating a vinyl record. This allows them to turn songs recorded in various genres—like jazz, rock & roll, R&B, blues, punk,

What we see in this video from Brolic Army student djksprinkles IS NOT NORMAL. The set reached her chest. See the width of the mixer she’s operating? Does that look comfortable? Oh & for good measure, the turntable IS NOT configured in the usual “battle mode” style most DJs are accustomed to. They’re positioned the traditional way Disco & Hip Hop DJs arranged them during the ‘70s renaissance era of DJing.

DJ Flowers and Disco King Mario, among others, were not Hip-Hop DJs. They were standard DJs, and there's nothing wrong with that distinction. Throughout history, both past and present, there have always been DJs whom I hold in high regard. However, it's important not to confuse standard DJing with Hip-Hop DJing. Simply playing "black music" or Disco does not qualify someone as a Hip-Hop DJ. If that were the case, Nicky Sciano, David Mancuso, and Francis Grasso would also be considered Hip-Hop DJ

Hip-Hop is a diverse culture that channels its essence through four powerful elements: DJing, Rapping, Graffiti, and Breaking, and that's all there is to it. When you invalidate any of the components that comprise Hip-Hop you're indirectly invalidating the element you engage with. Each element is different, but each element is also equal in the sense that where a DJ, Rapper, Writer, or Breaker draws their creativity comes from the same Source. Rappers like Lord Jamar need to understand this. Cli

Percussion sounds are produced when you hit, scrape, rub or shake an instrument to produce vibration. When applied to the turntable DJs call it “Scratching”. Additionally, Scratching has other unique possibilities though. Depending on the sound source you choose to use, the turntable morphs into that instrument. In Masterclass 012, John Swan returns to break down how Basic Scratch techniques like the “Forward Scratch”, coupled with advanced ones, the “Chirp Flare”, can generate the same percussi

I always find it amusing when people tell me "the crowd does not want to hear scratching. They want to dance!" DJs who believe this should consider whether their scratching is actually good or just garbage, because if you spend enough time honing your skills, you'll learn how to scratch in a way that connects with your audience. | DJ Rob Swift
