Of course man.
I enjoy a particular style of scratching that combines old and new, easy and complex, and that's why I liked your video. You're obviously not 100% there in terms of where you wanna be, but you're a good way down that path.
How long have you been scratching?
That's not a difficult question to answer, but not easy either. I've been dj'ing since the early 90's, April 93' to be exact. When I was initially being brought into the fold, one of the first things I did was attempt a scratch, which was a major disappointment, but it also spurred some wisdom from my friend who was teaching me: how do you expect to convey your scratches if you do not understand music structure? So obviously mixing was and is the first block of my foundation, then followed by scratching, which I had learned a bit of during my formative dj years. However, that style of scratching done then was very limited due to no coordination or understanding of execution concepts in my scratch technique. Like many, my perception was to just practice until it's acquired through rote. Many years I scratched that way, until one day I decided to start from the very beginning and relearn the scratches, this time with the intent to have a clear understanding of execution awareness and concept comprehension. The beginning for that part of my scratch journey was December 2017. I think it was the following year, around August I think, that I was able to execute the scratching in my first video I had posted to DV. Since then, being aware on all aspects of technique execution has helped me immensely in learning and discovering our artform. Hope that wasn't too long
