#100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch – Instagram Recap Days 31-40

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 31-40. Let’s GO!

Day 31 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Beat: Michael Jackson – Rock With You. This is the last video from me until May 18th. Heading on vacation to a place without internet or turntables. Looking forward to recharging and bringing back some inspiration. See you on the flip! Keep practicing while I am away! ? #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #mj #michaeljackson #rockwithyou

Day 32 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Back from vacation cuts. Just over a week without decks. The music is in us not in the turntables (words inspired by bass legend Victor Wooten). You might be surprised when you hop on the decks after a break and feel fresher than ever despite no practice. Beat: Damu the Fudgemunk – Brooklyn Flower. @redefrecords #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #damuthefudgemunk #damu #brooklyn #brooklynflower #lesfleur #applejuicebreak

Day 32 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Back from vacation cuts part 2. Echoey, spacey, delay fun to remind me of the ocean I've been surrounded by for the last week. So good for the soul. Beat: Damu the Fudgemunk – Brooklyn Flower. @redefrecords #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #damuthefudgemunk #damu #brooklyn #brooklynflower #lesfleur #applejuicebreak

Day 34 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject I thought I would try something different today. What if I can scratch some positive programming into your life? Because we all need a bit of that right? I sure do. If my mind isn't right my scratching isn't right. I've taken an MP3 from master coach Steve Chandler and given it the Emma Short-E scratch treatment. I hope Steve doesn't mind! No copyright infringement intended. Stay optimistic Supa Scratch Crew! (That's my nickname for those of you who follow and support what I do. You are awesome!) Why not try scratching some positive words and messages today and get a scratch and brain workout. Want more of these? Comment below. Hat tip to @allarminda for being an amazing coach (join her free webinar today). Also @dj_zerp – I've played with this idea in private but he recently brought up the idea of scratching as meditation / relaxation so here is my public offering. Beat: sixtytwopointfive by me. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #optimism #pessimism #stevechandler #coaching

Day 36 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject Yesterday's Steve Chandler positive scratch experiment was a blast and I wanted to play with something along the same lines today. Featuring words and wisdom from my awesome coach @allarminda. (Check out her #happylist videos for instant feel good.) What is possible for you today? Could you learn a new technique? Scratch to a different beat? Record a video and get feedback even though you are scared? Reach out to more experienced scratch DJs? Join an online community like SoS? Start a website or YouTube channel? Ask that club owner about playing? It's bigger than scratching too. How can you take what you are learning and overcoming in your scratch practice and expand it outward into other areas of your life? What's possible today?! Music: Paper Doll by John Mayer Maybe I'll call this series #scratchwisdom / #dailyscratchwisdom or video quotes as opposed to all the quote images (which I love). #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #possible #possibility #allarminda #allarmindadotcom #coaching #whatspossible #stayopen

Day 38 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject Just came up with this combo. Kinda like a boomerang but I push the record back on the opposite side of the vinyl. Faderless feel. 2 groups of 6 sounds then a drag. Music: Danbo Looper by @br0ke #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #vinyl #boomerang #scratchlife
