All this scratching is making me puke
Click here. Warning: if you had any respect for Cut Chemist to begin with this will kill that stone dead. (I didn’t)
Seriously does anyone besides major corporations and ad agencies actually think scratching the fuck out of a record is cool or has anything to do with underground culture anymore?
So okay, there are obviously turntablists out there doing their thing, but scratching a record seems to have become the most ostentatiously vacuous public face of “DJing”. It’d be a long time before Samsung launch a product based on somebody mixing house and techno records together, cos on the face of it it’s so boring. Can’t be used in a short soundbyte anyway that’s for sure.
And yet I can’t see anybody buying this piece of junk, given that the ad campaign suggests the target audience is Screech from Saved by the Bell. Do people really idolise DJs in the manner that the above link suggests anymore? If this product is democratising DJing further then you clearly not many DJs will retain the aura of the fantasy character above.
(I’ve given this a free ad I guess but I’m safe in the knowledge none of you will be buying it!)

I always wondered what it might be like to be a superstar dj…after that experience working in a call centre seems like a much more enticing career.

And I love to scratch… too bad… he got mad props for Jurassic 5 beats…. I was slowly weeping when I saw this site. Sad, indeed.

Just like real life… I remember backstage at Tiga in the music Centre they had 2 litres of warm coke, a bottle of Jack and a six pack of Tayto Cheese and Onion. and no girls in ‘Astro Booty’ get up.
