DJcity Scratch Combo of the Month: Episode 19 – February 2017

February 26, 2017

Welcome to episode 19 of my DJcity “Scratch Combo of the Month.”

This month we combine a slice, 2 transforms forward, reverse crab and flare.

Learning the individual scratches that make up this combo first will definitely help. If you need help with that I recommend diving into my School of Scratch.

If you are a regular crossfader scratch DJ, I recommend learning the individual techniques listed in the breakdown first, then putting them all together using this video as a guide. You do not have to be a hamster / reverse crossfader style DJ to do this combo. It is for everyone! I have a guide to help regular scratch DJs learn with me here.

Have fun with it!

Breakdown

  • Forward slice
  • 2 transforms forward ( I take my hand off the record) and end with the fader open
