Salute Community!
I Heard Scratching the first time back in 1983/1984 (Thanks to Herbie and DXT) and since then I been in love with the artform and embarked on a musical journey.
The Turntablism artform nowadays is not well understood or known as before so I wanted to take the opportunity and share with you some recommended documentaries and video links that will help shed some more light on this DJ culture.
Scratch is a documentary film about the HipHop element of DJing, also known as Turntablism or using the turntable as a musical instrument in where instead of just playing music on the turntable you can use it as an instrument and you can use any sound or any beat to create something a new rhythm, a pattern or a beat and such.
Also the documentary cover legends From the South of Bronx in the 1970's to San Francisco now. Meet and explore the world's most recognized and best Scratchers, Beat-diggers, Party-rockers, and Producers of Wax Poetic on Beats, Breaks, Battles, and the infinite possibilities of the records or "Vinyl"
