In this freestyle scratch session, I’m scratching on Technics 1200 mk7 turntables and a Rane 72 DJ mixer at a showcase I did for Technics at Astro AVL.
I improvised this DJ scratch session on Technics using just ONE sample: my favorite super-long-n-crsipy “AHHH” from “Bikini Wax” record.
I love the creative exercise of sticking to ONE SAMPLE and figuring out tons of different ways I can flip it.
It forces you to think outside the box of what you already know, so that you can discover new nuggets-of-scratch-gold.
(Rather than just moving on to another sound when *you think* you’ve run out of techniques 😉)
This “AHHH” sesh also reminds me of an another mega “AHHH” sesh I did back in 2006 called “Coffee Cuts”.

🥁 BEAT: I’m scratching to K.L.O. “Vidiot”
