#100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch – Instagram Recap Days 21-30

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!

Today we are onto Days 21-30. Let’s GO!

Day 21 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Part 1 – It's been a John Mayer day today. Thought I would try something different. I could get lost in this loop for hours. I wanted to honour the original song by using the vocals from it. What tracks outside of hip hop and turntablism could you play with today? Music: Paper Doll – John Mayer. @johnmayer #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #johnmayer #paperdoll

Day 27 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. I'm a few days behind. Being at work inside the School but getting back into Instagram action with this track. The lyric "love is a verb" always reminds me that I too am a verb in action, not a noun hanging around (HT @allarminda) Get in action TODAY! Scratch, create, live, dream. Beat: Teardrop – Massive Attack. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #bristol #massiveattack #loveisaverb #teardrop

Day 28 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Music: Matrix by Dizzy Gillespie. I remember watching @brolicarm and @shortkut cutting it up to this track in the Gap commercial and loving it but secretly wishing that the girl in the middle would join them on the cut and tear it up. It never happened so I would cut over this beat and imagined I was scratching with them instead as a way to inspire my practice. This is my small tribute years later. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #matrix #dizzygillespie
