	Disc Jockey 101: Scratching
		Scratching records is a form of turntablism, which is the manipulation of a turntable, pre-recorded music, and mixer in a "free-form" manner (i.e., like jazz musicians that improvise).
		Scratch records are usually made with a better grade of vinyl (such as "regrind") and are less likely to become damaged.
		Scratch DJ's do this to avoid contact with the tone arm and to improve their leverage vis-á-vis the turntable.

	Scratching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scratching is a DJ or turntablist technique originated by Grand Wizard Theodore, an early hip hop DJ from New York (AMG).
		Theodore developed scratching from DJ Grandmaster Flash, who describes scratching as, "nothing but the back-cueing that you hear in your ear before you push it [the recorded sound] out to the crowd." (Toop, 1991) Kool Herc was also an important early figure.
		Scratch is a documentary film about the origin of scratching and its modern practitioners.

		DJ members of the Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters crew are most commonly recognised as the first DJs to practice/demonstrate this style thus giving it the nickname "hamster" style.

		What the DJ establishes with the back and forth, blend and blur, is a series (loop after loop) of repeated information that forms a total sonic mix (or matrix) into which the rapper is inserted.

		Remarkably, Scratch is that very rare documentary that can make sense for viewers who know nothing and those who have their own sense of the movement's history.
