Hey what’s up reader? I just wanted to post a blog entry on here to keep the site going. I’m still practicing away at my scratching. I really love turntablism and the whole journey of trying to become a better scratcher and soon beat juggler. I was thinking today as I was making my coffee how lucky new DJs are. Back in the day when DJs were learning to scratch they really had no frame of reference. Think about how you have to grind and repetitively practice scratches in order to get better at them. I do it because I see Youtube videos, Instagram posts, and Facebook posts of people doing the scratches so I know it can be done. I have a goal I’m trying to reach. Back in the day before the internet or in the internet’s infancy, DJs really didn’t have much to compare to. They didn’t know if a particular scratch was possible to perfect but they kept forging forward and trying. It’s a testament to the drive of mankind. I really admire those early DJs who kept practicing and drilling and discovering new scratch patterns and fader techniques. Without them, we wouldn’t have the wealth of information we have today. It’s a great time to get into Djing and turntablism. I’m really looking forward to the day when I consider myself a good scratcher and/or beat juggler. Even better when I become great at it. Until that time comes I’ll be in front of my decks working away at it and putting in the time. Peace, love, and light to you all.
