DJcity Scratch Combo of the Month: Episode 7 – February 2016

February 2, 2016

Welcome to episode 7 of my DJcity “Scratch Combo of the Month”.

This month we use some fast babies, twiddle style 2 click flares, transforms over drags and a crab to level up our combo to a new level. Take your time with this one.

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.

Have fun with it!

Breakdown

Part 1

  1. Baby
  2. Twiddle style 2 click flare, ending with the fader closed = 3 sounds
  3. 2 transforms over a reverse drag
  4. Forward dice or a forward
  5. Reverse drag

Part 2

  1. Baby
  2. Twiddle style 2 click flare, ending with the fader closed = 3 sounds
  3. 2 transforms over a reverse drag
  4. PAUSE

Part 3

  1. Forward dice or a forward
  2. Reverse drag
  3. Crab forward to make 3 or 4 sounds
  4. End with 2 transforms forward

We are back at the start of the whole pattern and repeat it. At this point I sometimes do a forward scratch then a reverse dice BEFORE I start the main pattern as a way to introduce it and line myself up with the sample.

NOTE: Sometimes the crab ends up being 3 sounds. Do whatever you want! I refer to forward dices and these look more like just a normal forward, taking your hand off the record.
