Scratch is the definitive film that explores the world of the hip-hop DJ. From the birth of Hip-Hop, when pioneering DJs began extending breaks on their party records (which helped inspire break dancing and rap), to the invention of scratching and "beat jugging" vinyl, to its recent explosion as a musical movement called "turntablism," it's a story of unknown underdogs and serious virtuosos who are radically changing the way we hear, play and create music.
Here are some of the world's best DJs, those famous for solo scratching, competing in international DJ battles playing for rap artists or just rocking parties with the most insane records ever dug up. Check out dynamic performances and interviews with DJs Qbert, Z-Trip, Mix Master Mike (of the Beasty Boys,) Rob Swift, and the X-ecutioners.
Cut chemist and Nu Mark, (of Jurassic 5) DJ Craze, DJ Shadow, The Bullet Proof Space Travelers, Babu (of Dilated Peoples,) DJ Krush, DJ Premier (Gang Star,) and others, along with "old-school" innovators like Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Wizard Theodore.
