#100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch – Instagram Recap Days 1-10

Hey hey!

Over the next few weeks, I am sharing my #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch Instagram video series in groups of 10 days.

I hope it inspires you to get on the decks or start your own project!

If you cannot wait, you can browse the whole series here in full if you wish:

Some people reposted my clips so you might see a few duplicates under that tag. Thanks to everyone who shared the project!

Now, grab a cuppa or coffee, sit back and get inspired to scratch with these short clips:

(Temporary update: there is an issue embedding the videos, I am working on updating this post.)

If you missed my announcement yesterday… Everyday for the next 100 days I am going to post a new scratch video here tagged #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch as part of #The100DayProject. Kicking off Day 1 with a loop of MJs #wannabestartinsomethin because, well, I’m startin’ somthin’! Plus how can you NOT be moved by this loop! ? Try scratching over non typical scratch beats and match your scratches to the instruments and melodies. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #michaeljackson

Bonus – Day 2 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject because I found out about the project a day late. Now I’m up to date. I don’t really juggle or trick mix so much but this happened today. Beat is Rawcotics – Hardcore Hip Hop. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #rawcotics A video posted by School Of Scratch (@schoolofscratch) on Apr 7, 2015 at 6:06am PDT

Day 3 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Every record I’ll be cuttin! Playing with simple cuts and delay. DJ Jeff inspired me a while ago, cutting up this sample in his funky style and it’s one I often play with. The beat is a mashup I made of James Brown funky drummer and Magic by Coldplay. I’ve got a few self imposed rules for this project to keep it fresh. I’ll use a different beat each day plus aim to use different samples. I won’t pre record videos unless I’m gonna be travelling. The aim is to get on the decks and create anew each day. I have a week away in May but maybe my @raidenfader will be here by then and I can go portable! ?? If you make dope beats especially authentic boom bap, please do send them to me for consideration for this series. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #jamesbrown #coldplay #magic

Day 4 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Race against fading sunlight and a dying iPhone battery today! I thought the golden hour sunlight & shadows looked interesting hence the angle. Keep scratching even if you have a full schedule! Beat – Six Underground by Sneaker Pimps (Nelle Hooper Edit). Artwork by @jamesvictore. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #sneakerpimps #nellehooper

Day 5 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Part 1 – Fresh Funky! Beat: Fourfiths Remix. I’m not sure who it’s by. One in my loops folder. Scratch record: Practice Yo Cuts by Ritchie Rufftone. Behind the scenes: I’ve been painting my office walls for 2 days straight to create a more inspiring environment and it’s finally done! WOOP! I can’t feel my arms but I won’t let a minor detail like that stop me from making these vids! ?? #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl

Day 6 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Part 1 – uh huh with delay. Beat: 93' Till Infinity – Souls of Mischief. This is how we chill! Extra info: I like to create scratching for non scratch DJs. I want it to be as musical as possible so that anyone can appreciate the rhythm and flow. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #93tillinfinity #soulsofmischief
