30 Days of Scratching – Day 2 – Give It Up Cuts

October 2, 2013

Hey folks!

Welcome to Day 2 of 30 Days of Scratching. Great to see some of you getting in on the action and recording your own videos and audio yesterday. For a full overview and instructions please visit 30 Days of Scratching Day 1.

30 days of scratching

Day 2

Beat used: KC and the Sunshine Band – Give it Up.

Scratch Record Used: Super Seal 3D

Background Info

This song always makes me smile and thought it would be funky and fun to scratch over and hopefully spread some sunshine!

I have looped up the beginning part of the song.

I used Serato Scratch Live to record and play the beat and used a real scratch record for the samples.

Reflections On Todays Video

  • This is quite a fast beat at 126 bpm and was kinda challenging
  • I performed quite a few stabs
  • The 2 click orbit / flare pattern was really fun to do
  • I use the delay effect on my Rane TTM 57sl mixer in places. This is really fun!
  • I still get nervous recording and if I think too much, my scratching goes a bit off, maybe you can tell in some places
  • It was fun picking this beat
  • Did you watch the video to the very end? ***Clap Clap***
  • Consider scratching over beats you wouldnt normally scratch over to push yourself out of your comfort zone. This beat is not your typical hip hop / electro scratch beat but there are no rules! Scratch over whatever makes you move and feel good.
  • I’m excited for tomorrows video. I am not sure what beat I will use yet. I have a list of great potentials, but today I changed my mind at the last minute and ended up using this one. So I will decide tomorrow. Flexibility is good.
  • I’m running out of different colour vinyl!
