Studio Scratches? What’s that all about?

Studio Scratches (est. March 2008) is dedicated to assisting you become excellent at the art of scratching. It features articles and videos on: scratch tutorials, how to scratch, free beats for scratch practice (Free Beat Friday), interactive scratch training videos (or “question and answer” “QnA” videos) and many other hints and tips surrounding the art of scratching.

My name is Emma Holmes, and I’m the creator, tutor and writer here. I have been scratching since September 2000 when I fell in love with hip hop and all things scratch related. I currently live in the UK. Scratching has taken me to many places in the world including the UK, NYC, Rome and Finland and I have met some amazing people. It is my desire to pass on all that I can to help you enjoy and become awesome at the art of scratching. When I am not on the decks or making beats I love to skate bowls, surf and travel.
